Make Your Own Bento Box Lunch

A great class which made a variety of bento delights. We started with making the miso soup from scratch and then greens, sushi, teriyaki and tempura. A small class of 3. Teacher was excellent and explained everything perfectly. Loved it.

Food was superb. Instructors were knowledgeable, generous, and hilarious. So informative and so fun!!

Kindly teachers!!!

We loved our cooking class, the host was so lovely and kind! We learnt heaps and had fun, the food was super yum! Would recommend this to anyone

This class should be mandatory for every visitor in Japan! So much fun, so much pleasure to talk with someone from japan who will tell you so many things you would have never guessed about the culture, the people, and anything you are curious about. Of course the cooking part was also great, but the whole experience is much more than that. Thank you so much for the great experience!

I Had a wonderful time & learnt so much. Beautiful welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend &.looking forward to doing another class when we are back next year. Jan New Zesland

A great, hands on class with a focus on technique. Great teachers who paced the class through a number of dishes. All around excellent experience.

I took this class with my 3 children ranging from 9 to 12 who are all avid little chefs. We all loved the experience and the fantastic teachers. The class was small and each pair had their own cooker so rather than just watching someone cook you actually cook your own meal which is a great chance to practice. The teachers were so knowledgeable and great with the kids. This is definitely a child friendly class if your children enjoy cooking and learning new techniques. The food was so delicious as we gathered together to enjoy what we had created. All up I highly recommend this class .

My husband and I wanted to check out a cooking class while we were in Japan. We chose the bento box cooking class because you could learn how to make a few Japanese staples. The chefs were highly informative, lighthearted and encouraging. We were looking for a very hands on experience. We shared a station which included a portable stove top burner and created the bento box by doubling our ingredients between us. In terms of the class being hands on I would say it’s about a 4/5 as some of the ingredients for the sushi roll was batched, pre-cut and produced for us likely to save on time. The class is 3 hours. This makes you appreciate the effort it takes to make Japanese food. But we had an enjoyable experience and got to learn how to make the tamago egg, miso soup, tempura vegetables/shrimp and teriyaki chicken from scratch. Overall, it was a great learning experience and the informative chefs helped enrich us with knowledge and got us involved more with the cooking culture. Food tasted great! Thank you chefs xo

Our teacher was positive and helpful- she was happy to chat with us all about the food and culture. Her cooking was delicious and we got to make our own bento boxes and eat it! It was a definite highlight and I would recommend this course and Cooking Sun school to anyone.

The class was great! The whole family enjoyed it! The staff was friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time!

We really enjoyed preparing the Bento box meal. We will try it at home as well.

The two teachers not only turned out to be very knowledgeable but also very sociable. They started the group conversation while explaining and us coming and kept that going. Before we knew it the 3 hours were gone and we could enjoy our lovely bento boxes. My wife was the one that wanted to go but I'm glad she made me come along.

Hands on cooking experience for a number of different dishes which was the best part!

Had a great time making our own bento box. Class size was perfect (5 people) to ensure that we could all follow along and receive assistance from the instructors. Food was delicious and fresh. Would recommend if you’re wanting to learn the basics of japanese cooking.

I loved the way the team of the three cooking ladies explained and helped us. The bentobox was well composed, so we experienced a lot of different kind of cooking techniques. We also enjoyed the different kind of flavours and ingredients. Well done!

The teachers were very sweet and helpful. Ambiance, ingredients, organization.. everything was great!

Clean, quiet place. Small class. Clear & effective teaching. Nice & friendly teacher. Yummy product - sushi. Helpful & re-arranged schedule upon my own wrong booking venue.

It was very fun and educating. The dishes were fun to make and the instructors were very helpful. We enjoyed it a lot.

The class was great, informative and fun! There was a lot of different foods in the Bento box! The instructors were super helpful and a pleasure to talk with.

The only thing I would add to the class would be some traditional japanese background music, other than that, 5 stars to the experience! :)

It was a delightful class. We practiced making 4 different dishes, the teacher was great and the participants fun to be with. I will definitely sign up again when I return to Kyoto

A very relaxed atmosphere in enjoyable surroundings. My thanks go to the instructor, her assistant, and all who made this class enjoyable.

I would not change a thing 😊

Very nice cooking class! We learnt so much about Japanese culture and cuisine, it was really worth it! And the food we made was great and delicious!
