I'd say this class is best for people who enjoy cooking and want to learn Japanese Home cooking that they can bring back home. The recipes are easy to follow even if you're a beginner and the teachers are very helpful with explaining the steps. It's not like a classroom where you're learning cooking theory and history. Instead you learn practical tips like marinading/cooking meat in a rice cooker, blanching/wringing spinach and how to fold Gyoza. I think even kids would enjoy it! It's perfect for an individual to attend or bring a friend! I took the class alone, but it wasn't awkward at all! They are so friendly and it felt like I was in my own mother's kitchen.

Wow! This was the absolute highlight of my visit to Tokyo. I had seen Machikos videos on Instagram and was thrilled when I saw that it was possible to come and cook and learn from her! I chose the Japanese breakfast option and got to experience how to make actual Japanese home cooked breakfast meal. The food was delicious but even better, Machiko and Yoko were the kindest women and so patient, smart and helpful and able to answers all questions I had about Japanese food and culture!! I can 1000% reccomend this to any one visiting Tokyo.
A wonderful family experience

I really enjoyed this experience! Cooking Japanese food - ramen, gyoza and mochi was surprisingly easy with Machiko and Yoko, who kindly guided each movement. Not only we learnt about Japanese cuisine, but also tried to cook ourselves and then ate delicious food we prepared ourselves! Cute presents were given to us in the end. The place has really nice atmosphere and staff are really friendly people!
