Simply Oishii Japanese Cooking Class

Dieser Kurs hat mir unglaublich viel Spaß gemacht! Wir durften vier Wagashi herstellen. Der Prozess ist zwar sehr detailliert, aber die Kursleiter haben ihn leicht verständlich erklärt und klare Anweisungen gegeben, sodass selbst jemand so Tollpatschiges wie ich etwas Ansehnliches zaubern konnte. Es ist erstaunlich, wie konzentriert man sein muss und wie schnell die Zeit verging. Zum Abschluss des Kurses gab es eine traditionelle Teezeremonie, bei der wir gemeinsam die einzelnen Schritte durchgingen und die Bedeutung jedes einzelnen Schrittes erklärten. Es war faszinierend, mehr darüber zu erfahren, und beide Kursleiter erklärten uns gerne weitere Details und die Ursprünge der Zeremonie. Ich kann diesen Kurs nur wärmstens empfehlen!

Ein wunderbarer Kurs, sehr gut erklärt und geplant, der Ablauf war perfekt. Ich freue mich sehr über den Platz in meinem letzten D'au während meines Urlaubs in Japan. Vielen Dank an alle!

We had a great time making mochi in this class (I believe we were one of the last to do so in the instructor's home as she was about to move to a nearby studio). I'm sure either way would be great. What I loved about the class was that it was the perfect balance of everything! We learned about the history of mochi making, it's significance to Japanese culture and holidays, then we got to make different types. Even then, some steps were prepared for us before hand to make the best use of our time (after all, it's fun to do something like this, but we're still tourists who have limited overall time in Japan - so I really appreciated this thoughtful step). This step allowed us to learn HOW to do it, while only focusing on the essential steps. Of course, at the end of the session, we got to taste all of the different kinds of mochi! Oishii!!! I would highly recommend this to friends and family!

Thoroughly enjoyable experience. The ingredients are simple but the process can be somewhat complicated. I find the difference in sweet making from country to country very interesting from a baking perspective, and Japan is no exception! Can recommend this to anyone interested in the art of Wagashi, and interested in how it is made to know themselves!

Thank you Miyuki and Simply Oishii for a fantastic experience. If you're looking for an opportunity to learn about Japanese ingredients and cooking techniques there is no better way than a class with Miyuki. Miyuki teaches you about more than just the dishes you will cook, she also teaches you about culture, the purpose behind the techniques that you are using, and offers great suggestions for places to eat and shop all over Tokyo. I am looking forward to the opportunity to return to Japan and cook with Miyuki again!

I had a great time. Our teacher was excellent and I really enjoyed the finish product.

She speaks English very well. Tells you how to make the dough and what you need to do if it comes out not the way it supposes to. You also get the recipe on paper so you can try it at home. The sweets taste good. Even learned a few tricks for my sculpting hobby.

The sensei demonstrated well the steps of making mochi. I wish there is a cook top for each student so we can have a better hands-on experience. Having said that, the class was well run and fun! I enjoyed it very much!
