"Excellent Wagashi class with amazing teachers!"

This course was so much fun. We got to make 4 Wagashi, the process is extremely detailed however the instructors made it easy to understand and had nice clear instructions so that even someone clumsy like me could make something to be happy with. It is interesting how much you need to concentrate and how quickly the time passed by. The class was finished off with a traditional tea ceremony where we went through the steps together for the ceremony and the reasons for why each action is completed, it was a fascinating bit of knowledge and both instructors were more than happy to fill in more details and talk about the origins of the ceremony. I could not recommend this class enough

"Brilliant introduction into Japanese sweets"

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!

"Just Wow"

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!

"Fun!"

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.
