Simply Oishii Japanese Cooking Class

Ce cours était vraiment génial ! Nous avons confectionné quatre wagashi. Le processus est extrêmement détaillé, mais les instructeurs l'ont rendu facile à comprendre grâce à des instructions claires et précises. Même une personne maladroite comme moi a pu réaliser quelque chose de satisfaisant. C'est étonnant de voir à quel point la concentration est nécessaire et comme le temps passe vite ! Le cours s'est terminé par une cérémonie du thé traditionnelle. Nous avons répété ensemble les différentes étapes et expliqué la signification de chaque geste. C'était passionnant et les deux instructeurs étaient ravis de nous donner plus de détails et de nous parler des origines de la cérémonie. Je recommande vivement ce cours !

Cours formidable, très bien expliqué et organisé, tout se déroule à merveille. Je suis ravie d'avoir pu participer à ce cours lors de mon dernier jour de vacances au Japon. Merci à tous !

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!
