Fake Food, Real Fun!

Edward_M, May 2024

Yuko, our tour guide, was WONDERFUL! She gave great context into how fake food making started, showed us some nice shops and translated well throughout the class. She made the price point of this class worth it! We thoroughly enjoyed the class and only wished it was longer and we could have made more items. If you are fascinated about the incredible fake food throughout Japan, check out this class. While a bit pricey, it was fun and now we have a one of a kind souvenir from our trip. If you just want to pick up some food items for souvenirs also check out the shop.

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the class and that our guide made your experience special with her insights and translation skills. We appreciate your kind words about the value of the class and are glad you have a unique souvenir to remember your trip by. We hope to see you again!
