My mother and I had a wonderful workshop - we learned way more than I expected to, really fabulous and useful overview of how to build umami flavours, and the food was delicious for lunch!

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you so much for this beautiful review! We are absolutely honored that you and your mother chose Kappodo for such a special culinary experience together. Hearing that you learned even more than expected about building deep umami flavors—and that you both thoroughly enjoyed the lunch—means the world to our team. Our goal is always to provide practical, life-long skills that you can easily recreate at home. Thank you for visiting us and creating memories in our studio. We wish you and your mother many delicious, umami-rich meals together back home, and we hope to welcome you both back to Tokyo in the future!
