교토(Kyoto) 요리수업

Very nice welcome. Interesting courses, quite easy to replicate at home. nice lunch.

It was quite a trek to get out there! But well worth the journey-- you will get to enjoy your handiwork in sight of beautiful terraced tea plantations and bamboo forests. Tips: Be prepared for a workout as you knead the dough by hand for 10 minutes! And have your translation app ready to go on your phone–– this is not the touristy part of Japan!

Great class for intermediate and advanced students from a highly professional instructor. Great variety of 7 recipes, but I especially appreciated learning rolled omelets, tempura vegetables, and mochi. The follow-up tour in the supermarket really locked in the lesson and was very helpful in understanding how to replicate the learned material after my trip.

Amazing experience. It was so fun to go to our teacher’s home, learn to cook so many simple yet traditional Japanese foods and eat them in her authentic dining room. The trip to the grocery store afterwards was an additional treat and I purchased many food items so I can recreate the delicious meal at home for my family. Our 2 teachers were so helpful in answering all of our questions and giving everyone a chance to participate. Would love to learn more from them on future visits.

I loved this class! Midori, who taught the class, is a wonderful! She is kind and goes out of her way for you. We made the best gyoza I have ever eaten. This is so much more personal of an experience than some big commercial type place. You’re experiencing Japanese culture. I tried so many things I have never seen before like ginger flower. I highly recommend taking a class from her!

Our host was wonderful. We learned so much and had a lot of fun.

We enjoyed this class during our trip to Kyoto. The instructors were so nice and encouraging. We learned all about the process of making ramen noodles from scratch, used the ramen machine to flatten the dough and cut the noodles, and then got to eat dinner at the restaurant. Really fun!

We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the staff are outstanding. The staff were welcoming, pleasant and made the ramen class very fun. Highly recommend the experience.

Minho’s teaching different cooking methods, techniques and food discovery at the grocery were so important for me. For the lunch set everything is clearly explained now. The meal resulted authentic and of course delicious. I highly recommend this class in Kyoto. Roberta

Fantastic, would book again

We, an elderly couple and a granddaughter, signed up for a sushi-making workshop. We received an offer to move the workshop to a temple near Kyoto. Akiko, Mina, and Junjun welcomed us. We started with a short introductory conversation, followed by sushi preparation. The conversation was warm. The sushi preparation continued until we were full :-). After that, they gave us a tour of the temple and the amazing garden, and when we returned, we played a fascinating and funny Japanese card game. At the end, we were treated to Japanese tea and a wonderful homemade cake. We all, especially our granddaughter, enjoyed it very much.

You learn how to make the Ramen noodles from scratch using a machine. You can't try them the same day because they need to rest overnight, but still there is a tasty Ramen meal included in the price!

Midori does a great job of welcoming you in and telling you about the ingredients, the culture and overall about Japan. She is very friendly and gives great instructions in English.

We had a wonderful time and learned so much about the history of the tea ceremony.

We had a great time learning to make ramen from Sakura and her team. They were encouraging and fun as well as effective since we all ate delucious ramen at the end!
