初めての和菓子作り☆

Reviewed by: レーコ, 2019/08/28

友達と二人で挑戦してみました!
参加者は12人ほど。
楽しく和気あいあいと、皆さんと盛り上がりました。
説明してくださる先生、説明難しい?と思うこともありましたが、キチンと回って見てくださり、とても親切で本当に楽しい時間でした!
また、それ以外でも職人技を見せてくださり嬉しかったです。
四季折々、和菓子作りも楽しみたいなって思いました!
一時間半見ていたら余裕です。
3つ作成で、1つは抹茶と一緒に頂き、2つはお持ち帰りです。

  • 満足な仕上がり✨

  • お持ち帰りは、こんな感じです。

Traditional Japanese Sweets Making Experience in Arashiyama

Great hands-on learning option

Reviewed by: CAK, 2019/08/14

I took a group of undergraduate students here as part of a study-abroad program for U.S. students, and they had a wonderful time and talked about it for days. I think opportunities to do things by hand are always great, and this was one of three separate crafting/making activities I did during this most recent trip to Japan. If you have any interest in confectionary, the culture around tea ceremony, or food more broadly, this is a really fun, engaging way to spend part of a day. The shop is lovely, too.

Make Fresh Soba the Traditional Way in Gion

Fun and exciting experience

Reviewed by: Kathy, 2019/07/27

We really had a fun time in soba making. A real hands-on experience.
Our son was with us. We each take turns to grind the seeds, made and kneaded dough. The chef demonstrated and gave us the proper instruction every step of the way. We got to eat the soba we made in the end! What a deal! It was a great experience!

Thank you, Chef!

Make Fresh Soba the Traditional Way in Gion

Fun experience.

Reviewed by: Katie, 2019/07/18

My husband and I both enjoyed the class. We did most all of the steps of making the noodles, even grinding the buckwheat. The only thing we didn’t do was cook the noodles.
The meal itself was excellent, we even got to grind our own wasabi root.
I was worried that the description didn’t say “English available” like the other options, but English was spoken for our whole class. And it was just the two of us. Fun morning with lots of pictures.

Thank you for posting the review and pictures. We apologise making you worried about English. Since not all teachers can speak English, we cannot write "English available". Anyway, we glad that you enjoyed the soba noodles making class! Thank you.

Cute Character Bento Box Making Experience in Kyoto

Such a fun experience! This class is a must if you visit Kyoto!

Reviewed by: Mmaatt921, 2019/06/07

My wife and I scheduled this bento box cooking class because we wanted to do something other than shrines and temples in Kyoto. We didn't know what to expect, but we were both pleasantly surprised!

A few days before our class, the cooking instructor asked where we were staying and informed us on how to get to the house. It ended up being faster to walk from our hotel, so the plan was to walk from our hotel back to her house. Well, it was raining pretty hard on the day of the class so the host met us at our hotel and used her own money to get us a cab back to her house.

The class was a lot of fun! The couple that runs the class was super easy to talk to and did a good job at making us foreigners feel welcome in their home. Also, they have a super cute cat and a playful dog.

After the class was over, the host walked us to the nearest bridge and pointed us in the direction of our hotel. It was raining pretty hard and my wife and I were sharing a single umbrella. The host noticed and offered me her own personal umbrella.

In summary, the cooking class was a lot of fun and the couple that runs it are some of the nicest people I've met. Definitely check this out if you're in Kyoto!

練り切りを3つ作らせてもらいました。1つはお抹茶と一緒にその場でいただき、残りの2つは持ち帰りました。説明がとても分かりやすく、不器用な私でも仕上げることができました。和菓子といっても、練り切りはお茶とかをやっていないとなかなかいただくことができず、私にとっては初めての経験でした。とても楽しいひとときでした。

Beginner-Friendly Ramen-Making Workshop in Kyoto

A Kyoto visit highlight!

Reviewed by: Paul , 2019/05/16

Highly recommended activity for families. Michi was super nice and patient with us. We learned how to cook the meat, make ramen noodles from scratch, how to cook them perfectly and experiment with ramen broth. The stock is already prepared and we create our own versions of ramen broth by combining the prepared fish and chicken stock, and then adding in one or a comibination of flavors such as soy sauce mix, salt sauce or miso. The place was bright, clean, and organized. It was quite easy to find from the train station stop - Tofukuji. The best part is that we get to enjoy a hearty bowl of ramen at the end of the class! This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Kyoto.

Traditional Japanese Sweets Making Experience in Arashiyama

Great fun making sweets in Arashiyama

Reviewed by: C Knowles, 2019/05/05

We had a great time making sweets at the lovely sweet shop in Arashiyama. Although we didn't speak much Japanese and our teacher didn't speak much English, with the help of picture cards and demonstrations, he showed us how to make the sweets and he did help us to do some of the trickier more detailed crafting. It was great fun, and it made a nice break away from the crowds in the centre of town. We got to eat one of the sweets we made, with some matcha tea and the others we took home with us. We would highly recommend this activity for all ages.

Traditional Japanese Sweets Making Experience in Arashiyama

Great experience

Reviewed by: dart, 2019/04/29

I did this activity with my 7 year old daughter. We had a great time and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. My daughter loved it. The instructor did not speak much English, but we were able to figure things out. Making the sweets was fairly straightforward, but the instructor helped out when necessary.

The sweets are delicious. A very unique and fun experience that I highly recommend.

Everything was fab. As a chef i really wanted to learn how to make soba noodles. Myself and hubby did his. We did it early and wondered around to the shrines and temples nearby afterwards. It was lovely to see how soba noodles are traditionaly enjoyed. Our chef and teacher was happy to take photos of us during all the steps. Well worth taking the time and money to do!

A real hands on experience for the whole process of soba making

Reviewed by: Dennis, 2019/03/25

Really enjoyable full participation course in soba noodle making. The facility was bright, spotless and well laid out with plenty of room. I felt like I experienced every aspect of a surprisingly complex process. The instructor was a practiced expert and he made it possible for all of us to succeed at every step. Definitely add on the yuba making...you'll want to go home and do it there.

Awesome time, and great value for your money!

Reviewed by: Brian, 2019/03/01

Awesome experience. Booked this on our last day in Kyoto, and so happy we did. This was my first touristy cooking class, and it was an absolute blast. Although there was a slight language barrier, it didn’t inhibit the quality of the class at all. The instructor clearly knows the needed English to teach. We spent about 45 minutes making the noodles, and then relax and eat them in a traditional setting for the remainder of the time which was very cool. So much value for the little cost. Highly recommend.

しかし、丁寧に一つ一つ順序よく教えてくれますので、かなり良いものが

Great experience!

Reviewed by: Jovian, 2018/10/18

Fun activity to do in Kyoto, from grinding the buckwheat to kneading and cutting the soba noodles. They then cooked the noodles for us to eat, and we could clearly taste the buckwheat in stark difference to the commercial tasteless noodles. Even though there was a language barrier, the instructor did quite well with her limited English and visual instructions to make sure we were on the right track. My wife and I had a great time and would recommend it to anyone!
