Fun and unique experience
Reviewed by: Sabine, 2023/08/07After reading the excellent reviews I had to book this activity for me and my 16-year-old son (mid July 2023) and I have to agree with the other reviewers: it was a lot of fun and a unique experience. The instructor was really nice and helpful, he explained everything to us in English and was very patient and supportive. We had time to choose our "ingredients" and both our ice cream sundaes turned out really well. Due to the perfect packaging we brought them back home safely. We highly recommend trying it yourself!
Thank you for visiting us.
Sorry for my not fluent English.
Create a food sample that is Japanese culture
I am happy.
Please visit us again when you visit Japan.

A wonderful experience
Reviewed by: Sarah, 2023/07/30I've always wanted to make one of these food samples, and was happy to find this opportunity using the Chika Toku (extra value) system from the Tokyo Metro pass. Although the explanation was in Japanese, the staff made sure I understood what to do and even showed me exactly how to proceed. It was a wonderful experience and a fun way to spend a couple hours.
Thank you for visiting us.
If you enjoyed the food sample experience
I am happy.
All staff should be able to speak more English
I will do my best.
We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to Japan.

Great Experience
Reviewed by: DadAndDaughter, 2023/07/29The activity was a ton of fun! Me and my 7 year old attended, the instructor was very helpful and friendly with both of us and provided clear guidance and explanations. Our instructor's English was quite capable, and used a translation app to bridge the gap. As for the food samples themselves it was a lot of fun, easy to understand, and the results are super realistic! Great souvenirs!

Such a fun activity!
Reviewed by: Jessica, 2023/07/01This was a great experience for crafters of all ages. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable about their materials, and very receptive to be asked about procedures. There's a tablet with Google Translate available on-hand to help move through any language bumps, and staff was incredibly accommodating towards all levels of Japanese proficiency. I definitely plan to bring english-only friends back here on a future trip.

GREAT EXPERIENCE!
Reviewed by: susy, 2023/04/26I am delighted to write a review for the experience I had with your company. The whole experience was lots of fun, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable activity.
The guide was very helpful and made the whole process of creating plastic models enjoyable and easy to follow. They even took the time to explain the history of plastic models, which added to the experience and made it more meaningful.
I was also very impressed with how the guide interacted with my son. They were very sweet and patient with him and helped him create his own bowl of ramen. My son was thrilled with the result and was proud to show off his creation to everyone.
Overall, I had a fantastic time with your company, and I am grateful for the experience. The guide was knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly, making the experience all the more enjoyable. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique and fun activity that the whole family can enjoy.
Thank you very much for participating in the food sample experience activity. Also, thank you for your review and high rating.
I am very happy that you enjoyed the experience.
Food samples are a unique culture of Japan. We want everyone to enjoy learning about the culture. We are very happy that we were able to convey our thoughts. Also, I hope to see you when you come to Japan. Thank you again.

Reviewed by: Max, 2023/03/26Great little shop! The instructor was very kind, introduced us to the history of samples, thoroughly described all the materials and techniques and guided us through making our sample. We were very happy with the experience and the resulting souvenir! Note that our instructor mostly spoke in Japanese, which was Ok with us, but I believe there are other employees who speak English.

Japanese Ramen Making Experience
Reviewed by: Marisa, 2023/03/26Signed the husband up for this experience as he really enjoys ramen! He was a perfect fit for this class since the laying of the ramen noodles, and particular placement of the garnishes are more meticulous. The instructor was very thorough in explaining the materials we would be using, had an example placed next to you on the table so you understood how it would look like. The place is very neat and clean and he really cheers you along as your working on your ramen making.
Looking forward to attending again when back in Tokyo!
Thank you for coming.
Ramen experience is very popular with overseas customers.
You made the ramen very well.
Sweets are also popular, so please try them next time.

Fun Family Experience!
Reviewed by: Marisa, 2023/03/26I’ve grown up seeing these food displays outside of Japanese restaurants, but never knew how they were made. Found out about this experience from another family traveling through Tokyo and it looked like fun. It was much more fun than expected but definitely not as easy as it looks. Definitely need to channel your creative side.
We hope to do this again the next time we’re in Japan and attempt the tempura experience!
Thank you for visiting us.
Food samples may be rare for overseas customers.
I think you did a very good job.By all means, please try the tempura and lettuce experience next time.

Fantastic!
Reviewed by: Amber, 2022/11/01Excellent staff who spoke good English. The craft itself is interesting and intricate, and I was told about the history of plastic food and the materials used alongside getting the hands-on experience crafting a very realistic Japanese curry. It's an offbeat activity all ages can enjoy, and something very unique to Japan. I found the price very affordable and would recommend anyone to go. 10/10.

Now I know how the plastic food I see everywhere is made.
Reviewed by: Jay, 2020/03/01The operator of this class was amazing. The class wasn’t long so it kept my day more open than others, that let me fit in more activities on the day. I learned a bit about the history of Samples and got to make a souvenir that ‘ thanks to the instructors help ‘ came out perfect. Also this was a great place to get souvenirs for everyone back home. Not many souvenirs say Japan better than a plastic sushi key chain.
Dear Jay
Thank you for visiting this store.

Also, we are waiting for you when you come to Japan.

Very friendly staff, worthy every moment spent here.
Reviewed by: Calvin, 2020/01/24The overal experience with this activity is marvelous.

You can tell he is very enthusiastic and enjoying this experience. Just an extra note, we communicated without any issue in English.
You get to choose your five pieces of colourful assorted accessories for your sundae. The cup of the sundae and the colourful jam at the bottom will be provided. You have to first fill up the base of the sundae cup, then the twirling cream at the top and place your assortments as you wish. The staff carefully checked every steps of the process, also fix any errors professionally. You will be guarenteed a outstanding food sample even for your first try.
As for the advice for future participants, since it takes a while for the food sample to dry off, it is better you plan your activites accordingly. Although, the staff did carefully stabilised the food samples in a provided paper box (in a very meticulous way, props to that) and bag so it was not an issue for us.

Interesting class, nice tutor.
Reviewed by: Maggie Leung, 2019/05/30The tutor is so nice and his English is easy to understand. We feel a little bit strange when we are on the way because it is located in residential area. However, the image changed when we get into the classroom.
The tools are well prepared, instructions are clear, the tutor is very nice. And the most important thing is we like our product so much!
Just one concerning point for foreigners that we need to buy some boxes to store our product well. Or else, we are not able to bring them to our home safely since we need to take flight.
The total experience is amazing. I will recommend it to my friends. I'd also like to try other food sample classes from this tutor when I travel to Tokyo later.
