I loved that the experience started with a trip to the supermarket. April was the best cooking teacher and guide. She is very knowledgeable and encouraged us every step of our cooking journey. It was also fun to have beer and sake tasting during our cooking lesson. The cooking studio is very spacious. And well set up.

Had the greatest time making delicious foods with Yuri! She is full of knowledge about Japanese cuisine and showes alot of passion for what she does! She was super kind and showed me in detail how to make the different types of food, and also gave me the recipes so I can recreate it at home! Thank you for an awesome and fun experience Yuri!

US Thanksgiving in Tokyo

Frances_K, Nov 2025

We had just arrived the night before to Tokyo. This was our first "taste" of Japan and it couldn't have been better. Masai, our instructor, was very knowledge and super patient with us. She had traveled to the west and had great comparisons between western and Japanese cuisine, also describing how to pick the right vegetables, fish, and the right combination of ingredients for constructing sauces, even the various types of sake. And our "classmates", a group of German friends traveling together that also were taking the class, turned out to be a great group of folks; much laughter, great fun. It was a great way for my wife and I to experience a US Thanksgiving in Japan (the class was on our Thanksgiving) and we were very thankful that this was the way we started our trip.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Masai made your first taste of Japan so enjoyable, informative, and fun. It’s great that you had a memorable experience with your classmates and celebrated Thanksgiving in such a special way. We hope we can welcome you on another tour in the future. — MagicalTrip

Alice was a great host. I...

Oliver_C, Nov 2025

Alice was a great host. I thoroughly enjoyed her cheerful demeanor and the stories she shared with me while we cooked and ate.

Amazing experience!

Ronda_D, Jul 2025

We really enjoyed our cooking class with Minnie. She did a great job explaining all the directions for the dishes we were making. The food we made was delicious. Highly recommend this experience!

Loved this experience....

Suzanne_D, Apr 2025

Loved this experience. Was fun and informative and the teacher was a complete delight. I would def recommend for people interested in Japanese cuisine.

Wonderful cooking experience!

John_E, Jul 2024

Our instructor, Mihori, led us on a unique and memorable cooking lesson. We went grocery shopping for the ingredients we would need for our meal and she gave us tips along the way. From there we walked to the cooking studio and cooked for roughly 3 hours. We made everything from scratch: miso soup, fried eggplant, rolled omelette, and a sushi roll. Afterward, we feasted on all of the delicious food we made. Mihori not only taught us about Japanese cuisine, she also chatted with us about Japanese culture. Our family of four includes two kids, ages 10 and 14, and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience too.

Definitely recommend it!!

leila_p, Jun 2024

Great experience! Our tour guide was nice, fun and informative. We chopped at a nearby grocery store and learned a lot about some Japanese veggies and meat. We then proceeded to a private place where we made some fun dishes. My two teenagers really enjoyed it. We ate, learned and had fun. We will go back to her if we are in Tokyo again.

Our guide Taka was great and we had a great time making and eating our meal! We had a nice tour through the market to start and a great experience making several dishes.

Absolutely worth it!

chris_b, Apr 2024

A very well organised time and we really enjoyed the variety of visiting a local supermarket as well as the cooking. Also being able to ask questions about Tokyo life.

Fantastic experience!

JDSolilo, Apr 2024

Easy to locate, excellent information and guidance through the shopping mart. Our guide Mihori gave excellent instruction and light conversation that made the experience educational and fun. We would definitely recommend.

Good experience cooking

Sandra_W, Mar 2024

Nigiri was a very good teacher. She was happy to share her knowledge of cooking ingredients. I got to do a lot of hands on cooking and the recipes were tasty and not complicated. I am looking forward to trying them at home.

Great cooking class

lucile_b, Dec 2025

Fantastic experience with Alice. Very complete activity. After shopping, we were able to prepare a full 4-course meal and enjoy it with sake. It was the best miso soup I ever had 👍
