和菓子作り体験 町家造りの老舗和菓子店で和菓子作り 清水寺からアクセス良好<和菓子3~4種類+お抹茶/2名~/持ち帰り可/手ぶら参加OK> by 甘春堂 東店

作って楽しい、食べておいしい

Reviewed by: おさる, 2017/10/10

大人4人で参加しましたが、1つのテーブルを割り当ててもらい、気を遣うことなく体験出来ました。ほかは2人で参加された方が多く、長机に向かい合わせで座っていました。4種類の和菓子を一つ一つ見本を作りながら見せてくれるので、慣れないながらも作れて楽しかったです。プロが作ったものはさすがの形と色合い!最後は抹茶と一緒に1つをいただけるので、食べて満足、作って満足でした。同じ材料、作り方なのに人それぞれ違いが出て面白いです。

  • 秋のお菓子で、季節ごとに種類も難易度も変わるそうです。

初めは1時間で4つも!?絶対無理!と思っていましたが、職人さんの分かりやすいご指導で、流れにのって、きちんと4つ形になりました。
ひとくちに和菓子と言っても、種類も作り方もいろいろで、とても勉強になりました。
素敵な思い出とおみやげが出来ました!

Traditional Japanese Sweets Making Experience in Higashiyama

Feel like an accomplished wagashi maker with little effort

Reviewed by: Rachel, 2017/08/27

We understood very little but it didn't really matter. It was neat to see some of the traditional sweets making tools and make our own sweets. I do feel it ended a little abruptly, but I'm glad we went.

Traditional Japanese Sweets Making Experience in Arashiyama

So much fun!

Reviewed by: Meghan Caritativo , 2017/08/14

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, 2017/08/05

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, 2017/07/22

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, 2017/07/03

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.

Comments from activity operators

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。

The Japanese sweets making is a fun experience. We get to experience how the Japanese make this traditional sweets. It's fun to shape the sweets by ourselves. We get to make 3 type of sweets.

Make Fresh Soba the Traditional Way in Gion

Great and unique experience, especially for couples

Reviewed by: Ynon, 2017/04/27

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, 2017/04/19

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, 2016/09/14

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。

初めての和菓子作り

Reviewed by: ブレア, 2016/08/14

お店の場所は、少しわかりづらいところにありました。近くに和菓子作りをしている似たようなお店があるのでバスで向かう際は注意が必要です。

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。
