We had such a fun time making Panda Bento with Kenji. He is so friendly and kind. One of our group arrived late but he took the time to make his bento with him when he arrived. He gave a brief history of bento first, then gave clear instructions for making cute side dishes and then bento. He gave us the option to eat the bento there or take away. Definitely recommend and would love to come back and make the Shiba ☺️

This was one of the best experiences we shared in Tokyo! Kenji was our host and he did such a wonderful job teaching us and helping us enjoy the morning! Making Bentos was a fun, interesting, and delightful experience! We highly recommend this for anybody who comes to Tokyo! Thank you, Kenji!

Both Kenji and Mami were wonderful. Class was very professional and fun. We were given options for our bento as well as a bit of knowledge. My only regret is that I did not book two classes. I would highly recommend.

It’s so much fun! Kenji did an amazing job in teaching us how to make the cutest bentos. He also set up nice backdrop fir us to take photos for our finished products. We didn’t realize until we dig into our bento later that the food he prepared was yummy! Thank you, Kenji and your very friendly assistant.

Kenji is fantastic. This was a wonderful experience with my 6-year-old. In addition to the class experience, so much thought is put into being able to capture great photos of your work to share your pictures before you eat. They were also wonderfully accommodating of my food allergies.

A very fun and creative experience, led by Kenji who was an amazing teacher! The bento boxes were super cute and tasted great! This was a great class during our stay in Tokyo that gave some historical background on bento and the creativity behind it.

An excellent experience delivered by such a warm, friendly host. Kenji was great at sharing knowledge and helping us to create our very own character bento boxes. Would highly recommend as an authentic and fun experience for those visiting Tokyo.
