Traditional Japanese Sweets Making Experience in Arashiyama

So much fun!

Reviewed by: Meghan Caritativo

We had such an amazing time! The class was very therapeutic and even though we didn't speak Japanese, the instructor made it easy to follow. We were all able to make beautiful sweets and we shared a lot of laughs and smiles in the process. Note that the sweets are all filled with red bean, so if you're not a fan have someone in mind to give them to. They don't last very long though, so keep that in mind as well! If you don't speak Japanese I'd highly suggest going with friends since you'll be able to communicate with someone and figure the steps out together. This class definitely enhanced my trip to Japan and I highly recommend it!!

Make Fresh Soba the Traditional Way in Gion

Great experience

Reviewed by: Diane Kunimoto

I think why we enjoyed it so much is because of the teacher. He explained everything so clearly and concisely. If we were doing something wrong he explained how to do it right. Our son looked more like udon but hey it was our first time. You need to speak Japanese for this one to get the full experience. We did four "cultural experience" classes this time and this was my favorite.

Make Fresh Soba the Traditional Way in Gion

Fun Experience

Reviewed by: Pat

As english only speakers, the instructor was able to speak english to help us understand the process. The experience was very hands on from grinding the buckwheat into flour to making,rolling and cutting the dough. The instructor was very helpful. Understanding that his english was not as good as his Japanese (as the Japanese couple had a much longer explanation), we felt that he was very informative and gave us the information that was both interesting, informative with a good sense of humor that made the experience very fun.

Kyoto-Style Obanzai Healthy Vegetarian Cooking Lesson at a Machiya Townhouse

Beautiful food and hospitality

Reviewed by: Alan

While in Kyoto we attended this cookery class at the WAK building. Myself and my partner were fortunate enough to have the class to ourselves, and our teacher Mieko was friendly, patient and attentive as she explained the recipes. She also gave us an insight into traditional domestic architecture and the history of Japanese food, past and present. The food was delicious. We are both vegan and Mieko adjusted the class accordingly to suit our dietary requirements. It was a highlight of our holiday in Japan and we would highly recommend.

Reply from activity provider

Dear Alan-san, Thank you so much for posting your comments on our cooking course. It was our pleasure to have you with us, and Mieko was delighted to hear your comments. Thank you for choosing our cooking course. We look forward to having you again in the future. Sincerely, WAK JAPAN

何しろ、お店の方全てが、とても親切です。和菓子作りだけで、お店の商品の押し売りなど一切ありませんでした。唯、教えて下さる職人さんが一人だったので、体験者の人数が多い時は最初に教えて貰ったグループは最後に教えて貰うグループが終わるまで待たなければならない・・・という、タイムラグがあります。そういう時は、教えて下さる方の人数を増やして頂けるといいな~と思いました。

Make Fresh Soba the Traditional Way in Gion

Great and unique experience, especially for couples

Reviewed by: Ynon

As most of the good things we did, my wife found this soba workshop and I booked it for the two of us. It is in Gion, right off the Kiyomizudera temple. It was a wonderful experience. 4 couples attended the workshop, 2 of them were Japanese. We started with grinding real soba with a grindstones, then the chef patiently demonstrated and helped us to make the soba noodles. It was very interesting and enjoyable and each couple had its own tools. I can't even explain what a refreshing change it was from the regular sightseeing. Finally the soba we've made was taken for cooking, and eventually we all got to sit and dine in the house, eating the soba noodles we made, grinding real wasabi roots - a wonderful meal we well.

Traditional Japanese Sweets Making Experience in Arashiyama

Great experience

Reviewed by: Liesbeth

It was a great experience. I followed the workshop with my mother, and there was also one other Japanese couple.
Although the explanation of the workshop itself was in Japanese, the sensei explained everything by hand. We got a piece of paper on which we had the information of the sweets in English (so that we could understand what we were going to make). We made 2 sugary flat sweets and afterwards, we made 3 different Japanese sweets: sakura, autumn leaf and one other (see pictures). When the sweets were made, we got a macha tea so that we could eat the last Japanese sweet we've made. I would definitely recommend this workshop, even if you don't understand Japanese.

職人技に驚きつついい経験ができました。

Reviewed by: あっちゃん

興味はありつつ、今回初めて和菓子作りに挑戦しました。
作った和菓子は4つ、はじめに職人さんが作るそれぞれの和菓子の説明をしくれ、いざ本番。
ひとつひとつ参加しているみんなで足並みを揃えて、進んでいくのでお一人様でも安心でした。
めんぼうや三角形の棒状の道具やそのほかさまざまな道具を使い、いちょうや菊などのかたちに整えていくのはとても苦労しました。参加者は1つ作るのにも時間がかかるなか見本を披露してくれる職人さんは、参加者が1つ作る間に何個も何個も作ってしまうほどでした。
4つ目の作品は、作った後に抹茶と一緒にその場で味見することができました。
あっという間に1時間ほどの時間が経過してしまいました。
参加者は、5割日本人残り5割が海外からでした。海外の人と触れ合ういい機会にもなりました。

エプロンに着替えて、体験スタート。
4種類の和菓子を1時間で作るため、サクサクと進んでいきました。20人くらい参加者がおり、外国人の方が多い為、先生にあまり構ってはもらえません。笑 作り方これで合ってるのかな〜?と疑問を抱きながら作りました。少人数の教室と比較して、一人一人丁寧に教えていただくタイプではな
かったです。
作った和菓子のうち1つはその場でお抹茶と共にいただきました。非常に美味しく、満足な体験時間となりました。

日本人の繊細さが分かる日本文化体験

Reviewed by: Misa

外国人の友達と息子と行きました。
英語で書かれた和菓子についての説明はもらえましたが、体験自体は英語の対応があるわけではなかったので、外国の友達にはちょっとわかりにくかったかもしれません。しかし、結局はスタッフの人のやることを見て真似する感じなので問題はないと思います。
1時間という体験時間や生もののため、計4つの種類の和菓子作りは1つずつサクサク進んで行きあっという間に終わりました。和菓子のベースは事前に作られたもので、とにかくその和菓子の生地を課題の形に整えていきました。思ったよりも難しく、前後左右360度の見た目にこだわる日本人の和菓子作りに外国人の友達は驚きと尊敬の念を表していました。
息子は10歳ですが、手のひらを使って形を作るものには大人に比べ手が小さいため、難しかったようです。でも、自分で作ったものを食べれてとても満足していました。
和菓子は持ち帰れるのですが、夏は日持ちもしないし防腐剤もないので、その日のうちに食べる必要があり、祖母に持って帰りたいと息子は言いましたが、それは難しかったです。また、旅行中でしたので余計、暑い夏にそれを持ち歩くことが心配でした。

It was a little challenging finding the location for this class, so give yourself some extra time. The class was awesome, even though the teacher didn't speak much english. It was easy to follow along visually. The meal at the end of the class, to enjoy the noodles, was a great experience as well. I just wish I paid more attention though, because my first attempt at reproducing these noodles back at home did not come out quite as well, lol.

Traditional Japanese Sweets Making Experience in Arashiyama

Fun sweets-making class!

Reviewed by: Heather

It was nice getting to make various traditional Japanese sweets. The instructor did a good job of explaining how to make the various pastries and you are able to make out what you need to do, even if you don't speak Japanese. It would have been fun to make the ingredients from scratch, but then the course would have been much longer, so all the main ingredient were pre-made for us. Our treats came out pretty good, but the only downside is that you have to eat then by the end of the following day, but ours made it another day in the fridge.
