Informative and Fun

Reviewed by: Jamie, 2016/08/27

This was a great experience for us. The owner taught us so much about the history of fake food making, which was really interesting. Making the parfait was also easy with the instructions and quite a lot of fun. Finding this place was a bit of trouble, since Google Maps took us to the wrong location, so if following GPS, be careful of where it leads you. The English was not too bad at this place, so it is okay if you don't understand Japanese and the booking is in English too. Strongly recommended as price was good value.

WOW! WHAT A BLAST!

Reviewed by: Meg, 2016/07/25

It was a little tricky finding the studio, but once we were there, it was PERFECT! Our instructor was awesome- so very funny and talented. We made lettuce and tempura shrimp and pumpkin. It was so very fun! We loved it so much that we went down the street to another studio and signed up on the spot to take a class on how to make an ice cream parfait!

Great fun for the whole family...beautiful self-made souvenirs

Reviewed by: B Lau, 2016/06/29

It was a wonderful experience for our family! The booking process on Veltra was straight forward and most importantly, in English. We decided to make mini ice cream sundaes as they were small and easy to bring home. We received the confirmation email on the very same day. On the actual day, the train line that we needed to take was down due to passenger injury. Thus we needed to change 5 different JR and metro lines to get to the place, instead of the original 2. We called Yamato sample workshop to inform them and they were very kind to wait for us. When we finally made our way there, we were pleasantly surprised that the instructor could speak English quite well. We could customised our sundaes by picking the colour and "fruits"we wanted. The instructor guided us step-by-step, and we found it really easy to follow his instructions. We were so proud of our own creation! If we were to visit Tokyo again, we would like to try own hands at making either a bowl of ramen or tempura prawns with lettuce. :)

Unique, fun and such lovely people

Reviewed by: Eliot Wong, 2016/05/03

Three of us had a very relaxed hour making ramen, a sundae and a tartlet key ring. They looked really professional. The owner showed us what to do and he and his wife were really lovely people, drawing us a map so we could get to our next port of call. This is such a unique experience and a fun Tokyo activity. The food looks so realistic!

A great experience!

Reviewed by: Joyce, 2016/04/19

We participated in the ramen making activity. It was a fun experience and a highlight of our vacation to Tokyo. It was very easy to find the studio, located only minutes away from the subway station. We felt welcomed as soon as we entered the workshop. The instructor, who spoke English, was extremely polite, patient, and friendly. The project was very safe and easy. The final product looked delicious and good enough to eat! They also have some ready made samples of some other foods that one can purchase as well. Overall, this is a delightful activity that we highly recommend to those who want to try something different, especially something that is not typically offered in the United States.

We had a great time making the sample ramen. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They were also enthusiastic to talk about the different methods of sample food making and the history behind it. Easy to find and easily accessible. A highlight of the trip!

An amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Shaz, 2015/12/15

We had a young chap who spoke quite good English for a Japanese, to run through what we were supposed to do.

The whole process was very fun and it was amazing to see the other fake food items that the store makes too!

The only downside is finding this place, it is in a small and quiet neighbourhood in Tokyo. However it was also fun exploring the area once you're there.

Highly recommended, not only for families with young kids but adults as well!

Making lettuce and shrimp tempura was quite interesting process, our boys and I really enjoyed putting our hands in the water, witnessing how drops of candle change to the leafs of lettuce in our hands.

Excellent choice of activities, it was easy enough I had 13 and 9 years with me, they did excellent job, I can't wait to take them back to USA and trick my friends offering Tempura at our house!...lol

Fantastic Experience, wish we booked them all!

Reviewed by: aamandal, 2015/06/20

We booked the sundae workshop, and after completing it we realised we should of booked a full day and done all of them!
I booked this (female) for my partner and I to do, he wasnt looking forward to it but ending up having alot of fun.
The guy we had was fantastic, we took lots of photos, he explained everything perfectly.
It was alittle tricky to find, we did follow the directions but went too far - the place is part of a house, and there is a little sliding door where you need to go. So if you end up at a t-intersection after it says it is on the left hand side you have gone too far.

Fruit tart sample workshop

Forgot to ask for our teacher's name. But he was really awesome! Though he was not fluent in English, he really tried his very best to share his knowledge on the samples. I was very impressed with his enthusiasm and professionalism in his work. Keep up the great work! I'll definitely attend the workshop again if I'm visiting Japan. I'll also introduce my friends to attend! :)

Fun activity, great instructors

Reviewed by: S.Chan, 2015/06/02

My 5 yr old did this and the tart keychain. Although he was too small to handle the piping 'gun', he really wanted to try it. The instructor did a great job in helping my son hold the gun and guide it while still allowing him to still feel like he did the piping! It's very similar to the tart making in that you pick 5 decorative items, pipe the cream then decorate!

Reviewed by: edditude, 2015/05/12

This is a very fun workshop, and I do really enjoy doing the food samples. Not to worry if you do not understanding Japanese, as one of the staff is able to communicate in basic English. And Mr Ito even used the language translator apps on his phone to communicate with me, and explain to me on various material used in food sample. You should try it if you are visiting Tokyo!

A Must-Do Activity!

Reviewed by: Marlent, 2015/04/28

A group of 5 of us did this unforgettable experience! Everything was perfect and the staff was extremely friendly! We were given great instruction and valuable information about sample food production and history. We were given a lot of control and freedom with our creations and never did we feel like we were being rushed. It was a truly enjoyable experience.

Our instructor was Kazuya Ito. He was great! And he has great English, especially since he told us he is self-taught from watching movies! Truly amazing!

Definitely recommended for families travelling to tokyo with young children. It was held in a cosy home environment, easy to find with instructions upon booking and kids got mostly hands on experience to make the plastic food samples. We picked the sundae and ramen but if I were to do it again will pick curry rice and tempura too..value for money for the experience. They made sure to pack the items probably before u left...nothing but praise for them!
