Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

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.

Hello　Sir

Thank you very much for coming to the store this time.
I have choose a food sample from various Japanese experiences, and thinks thankfully.
English wasn't fluent, but if you'd enjoy yourself, I think it was good.
I'm waiting for the coming which is again.

金継ぎ教室 一日体験 大切な器を美しく修理する伝統技術 ＜南阿佐ヶ谷＞by 手仕事屋久家

Really good time <3

Reviewed by: Kami, 2016/03/26

We spent really good time with two really nice teachers. We get cake and tea, we talk a lot, and it was a really good time for us. Very creative family I think :)

Bardzo fajne zajęcia. Tak na prawdę, można nie tylko nauczyć się reperowania ceramiki, ale tworzenia biżuterii, malowania i wielu innych rzeczy - o co można zapytać już na miejscu :) Na wstępie dostaliśmy ciasto i herbatkę. Później rozmawiając na wiele tematów robiliśmy swoje dzieła i rozmawialiśmy z pozostałymi uczestnikami ( są cztery miejsca dostępne na jedne zajęcia ). Zdecydownie mogę polecić ^^

Reviewed by: Thao, 2016/03/19

Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko were lovely. They were very friendly and helpful in explaining what to do. You are even able to buy Kintsugi materials too. Usually, you have to leave your ceramic for a day to let it dry however I was flying home the day after. Yoshiko was nice enough to package mine up for travel for me!

時間も90分ほどで出来上がり、不器用な方でも十分楽しめると思います。この模様を作ってみたい・・・と思うほど、のめりこみそうな不思議な時間でした。これをきっかけに日本文化に興味持てそうで、参加してとても良かったです。

乗合屋形船 お台場＆スカイツリー周遊コース 旬のお料理＆飲み放題付！ 全船掘りごたつ＆スカイデッキ完備＜両国発＞by 晴海屋

真冬の屋形船☆

Reviewed by: mayu, 2016/01/27

屋形船に乗るなら絶対夏だなーとなんとなく思っていましたが、12月はクリスマスイルミネーションと花火があると聞いて真冬の屋形船に乗ってきました！
勝どき駅から徒歩5分くらいの船着場に集合。忘年会シーズンということもあり、思った以上に人が集まってました。暫く待って乗船し、すぐに飲み物が配られ、出発。12月の土曜は花火がお台場で花火があるため普段とは逆ルートで回るとのこと。クリスマスイルミネーションのお台場に向かって進んで行き、暫らく止まって花火待ち。その間にも揚げたてサクサクの天ぷらが配られ、料理にも大満足！花火前は甲板に出る人も少なく、イルミネーションと他の屋形船が光を放ってなんとも言えない綺麗さでした。19時に花火が始まって2階に上がってみると目の前にはレインボーブリッジと大輪の花火！ベスポジでした！！10分程度と短い時間でしたが最高でした。花火が終わって残りの料理を食べつつ、浅草方面へ。クリスマス仕様で緑色に光るスカイツリーも見れて、改めて東京の良い所が見れました。運びとガイドをしていたお姉さんは英語も堪能で、海外から友人が来たら是非また利用しようと思います♪

乗合屋形船 お台場＆スカイツリー周遊コース 旬のお料理＆飲み放題付！ 全船掘りごたつ＆スカイデッキ完備＜両国発＞by 晴海屋

リピートしてます

Reviewed by: anonymous, 2016/01/19

約3年前に続き2回目の参加です。
他も見ましたが義理の母、私の両親を招待するので、自分が前回満足できたこちらに再度お願いすることにしました。
当日は集合まで浜離宮をぷらぷら、築地を通って集合場所まで東京散歩。ライトアップされ始める時間で綺麗でした。
黎明橋からすぐ見える乗り場にはすでに二艘停泊していて、参加者の方も多く集まっていました。
一艘はどこか会社の貸切で、もう一艘が私達の乗合でした。
乗り込む際からスタッフの薫子さんが英語と半々で案内してくださったので、日本語が分からない義母にも安心でした。前回は無かったサービスだと思いますが、客層に合わせた器量でのおもてなしだったのかもしれません。
季節の前菜から嬉しかったですが、2歳の子供、両親にはやはり一品一品出てくる江戸前天ぷらがお気に入りのようでした！飲み放題も嬉しいですよね。たくさん勧めていただけます笑
義母は扇子状のメニュー兼東京案内に喜んでいました。ポイントポイントでデッキでの写真撮影も欠かせないですが、細かなところがおもてなしにピッタリなんですね。
今回小さな子供はうちの子だけでしたが、薫子さんのケアを始め周りの方のご理解があり、居心地よく過ごさせていただきました。
終盤では隣のグループの方と父が同郷ということが分かって一気に一体感が高まり、乗合の醍醐味みたいなものを感じられる時間でした。
また参加させていただきますね！

Shared Yakatabune Tokyo Dinner Cruise with All-You-Can-Drink Plan

Cruise was good, but there was no English translation

Reviewed by: Luanne, 2016/01/06

The guides on the boat only spoke Japanese, so we had no idea what we were looking at or what they were saying. They did a lot of speaking. Even ordering plum wine was a challenge. I feel that they should have had some narration for non-Japanese speaking people. What we saw was very pretty and the food was very good, so the only complaint is language problem.

Beginner-Friendly Japanese Koto Harp Music Lesson in Tokyo

Excellent introduction to Koto Harp!

Reviewed by: David UK, 2015/12/21

The teacher was very good, her English was excellent and she explained everything very clearly. With no previous experience I was able to play a tune very quickly and the lesson was structured to allow me to play the tune with additional notes to add further detail / harmony to the melody.

The teacher was very patient and clearly knew her instrument very well; I felt that the lesson was worth every penny and was a unique and memorable experience.

After spending out whole trip thinking we wouldn't we able to learn how to make sample food due to our lack of conversational Japanese, we finally found this place!

An amazing experience!

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!

乗合屋形船 お台場＆スカイツリー周遊コース 旬のお料理＆飲み放題付！ 全船掘りごたつ＆スカイデッキ完備＜両国発＞by 晴海屋

三世代で屋形船を満喫しました！

Reviewed by: いずみん, 2015/10/21

九州から出てきた両親と共に、東京らしい夜の過ごし方ということで、三世代で屋形船に参加しました。この屋形船は2年前の冬に参加して、今回で2回目。やっぱり安定したサービスクオリティです。もちろん今回も満足です！

一番の楽しみの料理は、前回よりもグレードがアップしていたような気がします。季節感が感じられる前菜は、一つ一つが手が込んでいて、どれも美味。普段はあまり野菜や豆腐などを食べない子供たちも「美味しい！」と平らげていました。屋形船の醍醐味である揚げたての天麩羅は、文句なし！天つゆもいいですが、揚げたてなのでシンプルに塩が美味しかったです。デザートは果物と和菓子の2種類。かなりお腹いっぱいになりました。

飲み放題は、ビール（一番搾り！）や焼酎（サワー類）、ワイン、梅酒など種類も多く、下船までの時間が惜しかったくらい...。欲を言えば、ソフトドリンクの種類がもう少しあるといいかなと思いました（子供向けは、コーラとオレンジジュースの2種類です）。

前回はアイスクリーム売りの船が来ましたが、今回はあさりの佃煮売りの船が来ました。1パック1000円と今考えて見れば少し高いのですが、残り僅かということで両親と自分の家用に2個購入したところで、売り切れ御礼。ラッキー。船の上で買い物をするという非日常感で、良い思い出になりました。

東京スカイツリーやお台場の夜景は、何度見てもいいですね。個人的には真っ赤な東京タワーの夜景が一番好きです。12月の土曜日にはお台場で花火が行われるようですので、その時期であれば、もっと屋形船を楽しめると思います。

  • 季節の前菜＆お造り。どれも美味しかった～！

  • 揚げたての天麩羅は、屋形船の醍醐味です。

  • 一通り食事が終わると、夜景タイム。

  • 他の船で売りに来た佃煮屋さん。人気で、売り切れ御礼でした。

昨年参加した際、誕生日のお客さんをみんなでお祝いするイベントがありました。
それを見た息子が次の誕生日は絶対屋形船にもう一度乗りたいと言っていたので、今回誕生日に合わせてまた参加させてもらいました。

揚げたての天ぷらは相変わらずおいしく、これで飲み放題というのは本当にありがたいです。
スタッフの方の大半は前回と違っていたのですが、前回も今回も皆さん本当に気持ちの良い方ばかりで楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。

さらに今回はサプライズで芸人さんが同乗しており、南京玉すだれと獅子舞を披露してくださいました。
外国からのお客さんも多数乗船していたのでとても盛り上がりました。

そして待望のお祝いイベント。
うちの子2人以外にも何人か誕生日の方がいて、全員でお祝いをしました。
この日は誕生日だけでなく、何と当日結婚されたばかりの方まで乗船しており幸せな空気を分けていただきました。

景色、料理、お酒だけでなく、この一体感も屋形船の醍醐味なのだなと感じた一日でした。

Yakatabune Dinner Cruise on Tokyo Bay

Reviewed by: Tina, 2015/10/11

We decided spontaneously to join a boat trip, and we didn't regret it at all. The atmosphere was extremely friendly, the staff was kind and very attentive.
It is worth to try the trip even with kids, as we did with 7 and 10 years old.
We had lots of fun on the boat, even though we were the only foreigners there and we didn't really understand all the food and cultural presentation that was provided for the guests.
