Chieko and her team of lovely ladies were amazing and super helpful throughout. They explained what we were doing and why and about the different produce we cooked with. The end product was absolutely fantastic!! Highly recommend this experience.

Host Junko was very friendly and warm. Asked in advance if we would like to put on the Yakata for an experience at no cost. And knowing it was my birthday, prepared a small birthday gift - so very thoughtful. Had a wonderful experience making sushi and onigiri at the home of a local.

Accueil chaleureux+++
Un vrai cours de cuisine où nous participons vraiment a l'élaboration des différents mets.
Petit bémol : adresse dure à trouver car rien de noté sur les boîtes aux lettres.
Il faut préciser aux gens que la personne vient vous chercher dans le hall de l'immeuble.
