This was one of the best cookery classes we have been to but it is a difficult building to locate. Aya and Hidemi were excellent instructors. The food we cooked was amazing - I couldn't believe that we cooked so much in such a short space of time. I would highly recommend this cookery class for anyone visiting Tokyo who has an interest in Japanese cuisine.

The cooking class was informative and fun to be in. What I wasn't a fan of was eating cold eggs and cold potatoes. I understand that is apart of their culture. Other cooking classes allowed me to eat as we went but they make you wait until the end. That was my only gripe with the class. You learned how to make dashi and the wagyu beef was great.
Wonderful educational clean and organized it really started a great time on our trip to Japan. I highly recommend you do this.
My two teenage daughters and I attended the wagyu sukiyaki class and had an amazing time. We learned about local ingredients and techniques, and even learned some historical and cultural facts as well. Our dishes were delicious and we were pleased that we were able to produce such beautiful masterpieces. Thank our for the experience.
Best organized activity I did on my Japan trip. Learned a lot, had fun, food was delicious and class was well organized.
Small group, great instructors, great menu. We each prepared our own meal. We leaned techniques in Japanese cooking cuisine ,about the ingredients they use. I fell in love with Japanese cuisine and intend to practice it at home. We were not hungry but we ate it all. In the following days bought the egg pan , cooking tools and a lot of spices.
The cooking experience was a great activity that I will surely do again with family. The staff is amazing. They were welcoming and kind. They made it a memorable experience!!
I had such a great experience with this cooking class in Tokyo. The instructors were incredibly informative and explained everything in a way that felt approachable and easy to follow, even for someone who doesn’t regularly cook Japanese food. What I appreciated most was how accessible the recipes were — nothing felt intimidating or overly complicated, and each step was clearly explained. I left the class feeling genuinely confident and excited to try making Japanese dishes again once I got home. It was both educational and empowering, and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a hands-on, thoughtful introduction to Japanese cooking.
Our family had a wonderful experience at this cooking class. It was definitely a highlight of our trip. In three hours we helped create seven dishes. All of them were delicious, especially the sukiyaki with Wagyu beef.
This was such a fun way to better understand Japanese food and culture. Our instructor spoke perfect English and explained everything clearly. The dishes were simple but delicious and we were able to prepare a beautiful meal in two hours. Highly recommend!

I enjoyed and learned new things from the class.. Easy to follow and understand. The food that we cooked were delicious. Short lectures and explained every detail. Location was easy to find, just follow the google map, you’ll also enjoy walking on the way, lots of trees and quiet environment. The place is clean too. Highly recommend it.
We made 8 dishes, starting with dashi. Then we used the dashi in almost every other dish we made. This is real cooking and it’s exactly what I wanted. Thank you to the instructors for making it fun and relaxed. The studio was spotlessly clean and inviting and comfortable. I felt at home. And the meal was delicious. It was perhaps my favorite activity in Tokyo. Highly recommend!
Excellent experience with great chefs that were engaging and helpful. Delicious food to enjoy at the end. Well worth the money.
We had an amazingly fun time learning how to make ramen. They explained everything so well and we learned so much. Definitely recommend this class!
This was the best thing we did on the entire trip. I absolutely loved how fun, helpful, and knowledgeable our guide was.
Lovely small group experience, cooking many of the home cooking Japanese dishes that we don’t see in restaurants as much. We had a wonderful time with these ladies and enjoyed a tasty lunch at the end of our efforts
Very well run cooking class!! Clear instructions and lots of interesting context about the ingredients and history.
The location is difficult to find
But when you get there the class is wonderful. The ladies are so lovely and we learned a lot. The food was delicious
The location is a little tricky to find for some, but our taxi got us there perfectly. The Chefs are great! We learned how to make several delicious dishes and had a lot of fun doing it. Maybe they are not allowed but I was hoping for a little cup of sake with our lunch.
Fun and interesting! We learned a lot and made a lot of delicious food! Left with several recipes we plan to use at home.
Such a great class! Super fun to learn more about staple, seasonal ingredients and recipes used in Japanese cooking. The instructors were great, explaining techniques and making it approachable to everyone with virtually any cooking experience.
This class is great for people with all levels of cooking experience. If you're looking for a lot of hands-on experience. Note that other than cooking an egg and searing a lotus stuffed with minced chicken meat that's prepared ahead of time, you will mostly chop and mix dressings together while the staff prepares the other foods such as miso soup, rice, potatoes, etc. It's still a great class for learning to make a traditional kaiseki meal and you can't beat the price, so worth it regardless.
Amazing experience. I learned so much and they were super accommodating of my many allergies. I’d recommend this to anyone.
We really enjoyed the class & learnt a lot - relatively hands on & excellent instructions from the lovely women running the class. The meal we created was a feast & delicious - thoroughly recommend!
We learned so much in a short time! Truly authentic Japanese cooking from a Japanese chef who attended the CIA in New York! I can’t wait to try these dishes at home.
Very warm, casual atmosphere too. Would definitely recommend!!!
Small group hands on cooking class where we learnt a lot about the different foods and methods of cooking and then got to enjoy the multi course meal.
Easy to find location in a residential area.
Great experience.
Very informative, Aya and Kaori were super kind and super helpful. This class teaches SEVERAL dishes, so when I left, I felt I have a whole new bag of trick to bring back to my cooking job in the states. Exactly what I had signed up for, a wonderful experience!
My 1st cooking class in Japan and now I’m hooked. The instructors are very helpful and fun explaining the history of the ingredients and making our lunch was a fantastic way to spend the afternoon. The Sukiyaki was delicious and the cucumber salad is now one of my favorites. All of the food was tasty and I met some really fun people in the class as well.
This was one of the best things we have tried in Japan! Don’t hesitate to book this activity. You don’t need any kind of cooking skills (like my spouse! Haha!) to make these delicious dishes. The ladies were so kind, and teach you about Japanese cooking and culture.
Being able to create a gourmet meal and then dining on it! The small class size, and two instructor’s was an excellent ratio.
