5.00My son and I attended this class this morning and had a great time. Mihoko was a great teacher and very sweet. We made three different desserts: ice cream mochi, dango, and taiyaki. We were also given tea and got to enjoy it and our sweets in a beautiful Japanese style room looking out onto a cute garden. I’d love to taue the class again next time I’m in Kyoto. Mihoko changes up the deserts by season. Her English was also very good which made following instructions easy.

5.00This was such a lovely and personalized experience! Miho was incredibly knowledgeable, great with the kids and wonderful to get to know. She accommodated our gluten-free needs so that I would be able to enjoy every item we prepared. I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants an authentic and low-key cultural experience. We loved it! Thank you, Miho!!!

5.00We had a great time at this cooking class with Miho. Her studio was easy enough to find, space is nice and clean. Had one of my favorite bites of the trip with one of the desserts with black sesame, I had never had it before and now obsessed. We enjoyed our learning and eating from this experience. Thanks Miho!
Delicious Desserts!

Whenever we struggled, she provides clear instructions to overcome our own challenges. The best part - the desserts are so DELICIOUS! Very happy with this experience. What a fantastic way to end a vacation! Thank you Miho! The mochi we made was one of the best bites we had in Japan!
