5.00My wife and I had the most amazing time with this cooking class. Our instructor Miho was very kind, welcoming, and fun! I feel like we learned a lot and had a great time talking with Miho, and the food was delicious. Thank you so much Miho for an unforgettable experience in Kyoto!

5.00Great experience! Hands-on learning made it possible to prepare seven different items including sushi, vegetable tempura, miso soup and mochi. I preferred this class to other one-recipe options. The grocery store tour at the end was key to discovering tasty Japanese treats we would not otherwise have discovered. Highly recommend.
Fantastic cooking class and supermarket tour

5.00We had a wonderful time! We managed to make a full Japanese lunch, including futomaki and an egg roll/omelette. Miho is a skilled and patient teacher, always ready to answer questions. She teaches you technique and culture. The supermarket visit is lively and informative. Besides making delicious food, the experience is excellent due to Miho herself, who is kind and lovely.
So good cooking experienced

5.00The absolute best! The kindest host and cosiest, most impressive lunch! I felt so looked after, gained so much knowledge and experience and had the best time. Absolutely delicious food that you can take home if you can't eat it all (you make soo much) and it's some of the best food I've had since being in Japan. The supermarket tour is such a lovely addition and she's the loveliest person to spend time with. I hugely recommend it :)
