Wa No Kokoro Cooking Activity Class

Nice dinner with friends!

Friendly and patient teacher. Okonomi set was great and will definitely try at home.

This was a fun, instructive and well organized 2.5 hours.

We had such a wonderful cooking workshop with our lovely instructor Chieko! We had a great time and we learned so much in such short time! The food was delicious. Can’t wait to try it at home.

The workshop space is perfectly equipped and cozy, Chieko is exceptionally kind and takes the time to explain the origin of the different ingredients, she shows the techniques with kindness even when we struggle with the chopsticks. The workshop was done entirely in English, with well-chosen and understandable vocabulary, all perfected by the tasting of our own preparations. A real treat! 😊

Aki san and Miyuki san were so kind, funny, entertaining, and knowledgeable. Our family, which includes a 17 year boy who wants to learn, and two experienced cooks who want to learn more, all got a lot out of the experience. Our guides gave us the cultural background on each of the dishes--and many of the individual ingredients. We were able to pick from a few different menus beforehand, so we could address any allergy or food restrictions in advance. With the photos and instructions we received, it was easy to find the kitchen after walking over from Shinjuku station. Meanwhile, we had a lot of fun prepping and cooking the dishes. Everything was delicious as well. We would definitely do this again on a future trip. We would definitely do this again on a future trip.

An excellent class with Two amazing ladies.

She taught the dishes cheerfully and with a lot of joy, especially things that she knew from home as a child... just home cooking!

She answered all of our questions and spoke English very well. We really enjoyed that it was home style cooking, making it more believable that it could be achieved in our home when we return!

In the words of my three teenage kids: "You've really pulled it out of the bag, Mum!" It was the most wonderful addition to our holiday, 3 days of which were in Tokyo. My children all said it was their favorite part of the entire cruise around Japan. We were taught with humor and patience and the food we cooked, our lunch, was delicious! It really was the best fun and worth every penny (yen). Wonderful experience and I certainly got some kudos from my family, husband included.

They were both super sweet and went above and beyond. As someone who likes to cook I would have preferred to do more of the cooking vs watching them cook as they explain what they were Hoing. We appreciated getting the cultural backgrounds behind the food that was being prepared. Overall it was it was a Fantastic experience and I would definitely recommend this activity

Chieko and nickname Lulu told a lot about the ingredients and Japanese culture. We ate the recipes we made together at the end. It was also important that it was a small group of 5 people in total, which made it fun. Highly recommended to take this cooking class.

She was very knowledgeable and patient with us while describing the dishes and answering our questions, and the food turned out delicious!! We also had a great time chatting with Chef LuLu about Japanese culture, restaurants in the area, and other cities in Japan we were going to visit. She had great recommendations for us. Every touch Chef Lulu included made this a 5 star experience, from the recipes to the yummy meal to the photos she sent us from our experience. Thank you Chieko-San!!

Both instructors were so kind, patients and fun.

Super cozy place, we enjoyed a lot and learn so many useful recipes. Lulu is a very likeable host, she made everything easy to understand, and had a really nice courtesy with my husband due to his birthday.

We learn about the Japanese food. It was very nice atmosphere, the team was very professional and kind.

We had a great time and even though I know how to cook some Japanese dishes, I learned many valuable tips and how to cook the Japanese make stock using the real kelp and bonito vs out of a package. The instructors were very friendly and knowledgeable.

Lulu was very friendly and gracious! She made good effort to keep the conversation flowing and easy and even though we ended up arriving 10 minutes early accommodated us with grace. The food was great and she took the initiative since the menu we picked ended up being pretty easy to add a couple items in. Very interesting and I hope to take some of the techniques home with me.

We had valuable and wonderful time !! All the ingredient are prepared perfectly! We cooked three kinds of Japanese cuisines together and we enjoyed our meals together with cold sake. When I back to Japan, I would like to join this class again.

We had such an amazing experience! We got to make and eat some delicious food. Everything was well organized, and our hosts were kind and engaging. Highly recommend!

The kids loved making the pancakes, noodles, soup, salad and rolled egg. Thank you so much also for sending us home with the recipes.

I had fun. She is good. I learned a lot of techniques in preparing the ingredients for many kinds of Japanese Cuisines. They all taste good. Thanks Lulu

I wish I would have done this my first week in Tokyo. I learned a lot. We managed to make five dishes! I can't wait to try them at home when I get the chance. I highly recommend this class for anyone that wants an actual hands on cooking class. We made everything from scratch, so I feel like I actually understand how to recreate them.
