食品サンプル体験　寿司・ラーメン・カレー・ピザなど 食事系のサンプルを制作！種類豊富な選べるプラン♪短時間30分から体験可能＜池袋／北池袋駅徒歩5分＞

とても楽しかったヽ(~~)ノ

Reviewed by: めぐめぐ, 2017/03/17

気の合う仲間３人で参加しました。
とても気さくなインストラクターの方で、楽しく体験することができました。

ただ･･･残念な事に、ロウ細工はとても繊細で、出来上がった時は完璧な形だったのですが、今は、天かすだらけになってしまいました（笑）
事前にちゃんと説明していただいていたので、慎重に扱っていたつもりなのですが･･･(^^ゞ
コーティング剤とかがあれば嬉しかったです。

めぐめぐ様

この度は天ぷら・レタス体験ありがとうございました。
天かすでございますが、もう一度溶かして同様な事をおやりになると蘇るのですが大事ですので
ロウソクをたらしてくっつけるのはいかがでしょうか。ボンドなどではだめですので、是非お試し下さいませ。
復元期待しております。
ありがとうございました

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Excellent and Interesting Workshop!

Reviewed by: Yuki, 2017/03/12

This is a really interesting workshop, and at the end of the day you get to take your creation home. We did the Ice Cream Sundae workshop.

The workshop leader does speak a bit of English, and they try their best to communicate with you to ensure you are on the right track. They are very patient and really doesn't push you to make a decision quickly when choosing specific ingredients (...we can't choose from so many cute things lol). We felt relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed the workshop.

The location itself is easy to find, and if you arrive a little early, you can always chill at the Lawson (convenient store) to grab a bite. Overall highly recommended :)

  • You can clip little reminders instead of pictures :)

  • Sundae

Superb experience!

Reviewed by: Colin, 2017/01/09

Amazing time at Kuge Krafts with the so kind and generous Kuge couple. Very intimate studio surrounded by pottery and perfect coffee and cake waiting for us upon arrival set the atmosphere. Excellent introduction to Kintsugi with the patient and encouraging advices from sensei which just make us wish we could come back for more or at least to try it again very soon at home! No doubt that I will brag about my amazing kintsugied sake glass at any occasion I get - yes you get to bring your piece of art back home.
Thank you, thank you and thank you,

PS: beware though that after that class you will want to voluntarily break any piece of ceramic you come across just for the excuse of having something to kintsugi...

Private Maiko Dance Performance with Dinner or Snacks Plan in Kyoto

A perfect evening

Reviewed by: Catherine , 2016/12/06

We booked the evening not being so sure of what would be the evening since i think the description of the product is not good, you cannot be sure if it a party or dinner.
We spent a wonderful evening with our Maiko in a tea house which in Japan means a private club house.
Dinner was the high Kaseiki Kyoto cuisine, sake was pouring freely.
Our Maiko was delightful, she entertained us and was cute, funny and her dancing was exquisite.
I booked the translation services in order for us to fully appreciate the evening and it was worth every penny, since we could communicate with our Maiko and Peter was very knowledgeable of the Japanese culture.
Great value for money evening, away from the crowed evenings.

Comments from activity operators

Thank you very much for your review, and for choosing our tea house for your maiko experience.
We are glad to hear you enjoyed yourself!
We will continue to do our best to provide the best Kyoto-style hospitality,
and we hope you will have a chance to visit Kyoto again.

Maiko Dance with Dinner & Kyoto Night View Tour by KYOTO Sightseeing“OKOSHI”Bus

Great experience!

Reviewed by: Grover, 2016/11/12

We enjoyed every moment of this tour. It was well organized. The Kaiseki dinner was delicious. It gave us a taste of various kinds of Japanese traditional food. The Maiko dance was beautiful and captivating. After the dance, we had a short stroll at the very beautiful Japanese garden which was very enjoyable! The last brief stop of the tour was going to the top of a mountain to see the night view of Kyoto which ended the evening perfectly. We just found we hadn't had enough of all of it!

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Fun and Unique - A must!

Reviewed by: Ellie , 2016/11/11

We had no idea what to expect for this experience but we were pleasantly surprised. We each made a plastic parfait and it was so much fun. Our teacher was super friendly and encouraging, and he spoke English well. It's a little bit out of the way from the centre of Tokyo, but worth the trip. Definitely give this a go if you have some spare time and want something unique.

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Great experience and friendly staff, this is the place to go

Reviewed by: Kenton, 2016/10/21

Went with wife and mother. Very friendly staff. We were helped by a younger fellow who was very nice. No problem with the language barrier. Everyone had a good time. If you want to try your hand at making fake food, this is the place to visit. Afterward, they boxed our creations very securely so we can transport them safely home. It takes a day to cure, so try to give yourself time so it can survive the flight back.

Thanks for the great experience!

Kyoto Private Kaiseki Dinner at Traditional Restaurant with Maiko Dance Show

Private Maiko Dance

Reviewed by: Clara, 2016/10/15

Seeing performance by Geisha is a must do in Japan. In the past you need to know someone from the tea house to arrange such activity and a private dinner. It's very nice that we can book private performance and dinner with a Maiko (geisha trainee) via the internet nowadays with English translator. Highly recommended activity.
