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

日本人の繊細さが分かる日本文化体験

Reviewed by: Misa, 2016/08/11

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。

Make Fresh Soba the Traditional Way in Gion

Fun, educational, and delicious!

Reviewed by: JasonM, 2016/08/06

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, 2016/07/03

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.

Afternoon Small Group Japanese Cooking Class in Kyoto

Fun Cooking Class with perfect English!

Reviewed by: Cherica, 2016/05/30

Kaori-san was very friendly, helpful and can speak English very well. We had a great time learning how to make not only Okonomiyaki, but also dashi stock, miso soup, picked cucumbers and onigiri. She also taught us about japanese table manners and umami taste, leaving us with useful information for our time in Japan, all the while keeping the class interactive and fun. We definitely enjoyed our time with Kaori-san, and would love to go back again if the chance arises.

I definitely highly recommend taking this class if you're in Kyoto!

Make Fresh Soba the Traditional Way in Gion

One of the best things we did in japan

Reviewed by: Zoe , 2016/01/19

Wonderful, kind hosts with a very clean and homely space to do the class then enjoy the meal. Great explanations despite limited English. We learnt a lot and are inspired to make our own soba at home. The house is a little hard to find so make sure you download a good map and leave a little extra time. Highly recommend this as a way to spent a couple of hours in a traditional setting. Thank you for the hospitality!

Make Fresh Soba the Traditional Way in Gion

Must go!!!!!!

Reviewed by: Margot, 2016/01/05

So worth the money, you get to grind the buckwheat, mix into a dough, roll it out, cut it up. Which sounds simple but it's so delightfully intense. The sensei is so nice and patient, we didn't speak much Japanese but he is great at demonstrating and miming what language failed to communicate. The one and only downside is that we didn't get to cook the soba ourselves, but since these guys are professionals, it makes sense for them to do that simple part. Before you eat, you grind fresh wasabi from the root, which tastes different than any other wasabi- and honestly I don't usually like wasabi. Seriously it's a delicious and authentic experience I would repeat in a heartbeat. They take tons of photos with your phone or camera while you do it too so it doesn't get dirty and you have the whole experience documented. It's not marked on the outside, but it's located right where the map says it is so its an easy find.

  • The end product

  • Chopping the soba noodles

  • Rolling out the dough

  • All finished, ready to cook

母と2人で、和菓子作りに挑戦！！

Reviewed by: RiN, 2016/01/02

旅行の思い出に、和菓子作りに挑戦してみました。
全部で4つ作れます。
1つ目は、簡単！生地を伸ばしてからの型抜き。
2つ目以降は、ちょっとずつ難易度が上がっていきます。
不器用な私は、先生にちょっと手伝ってもらっちゃいました！
母からは、「手伝ってもらえて、ズルい！」と言われたので、「出来ないのだから、仕方ない ！！」 と言いました。
事実を伝えたので、その後は何も言ってきませんでした(笑)
先生のおかげもあり、無事に3品完成しました。
思う通りにいかず、職人の方は本当にスゴイのだと、
改めて実感しました。
日常、経験できない和菓子作りができ、楽しかったです。
機会があれば、また挑戦したいです！！

最後にお店の場所ですが、地図の通りです。
最寄り駅からわりと近いですが、正直、道があってるのかどうか、不安になりました。
目印少ないので、不安になるかもですが、大丈夫です。
曲がる角さえ間違えなければ、あとは真っ直く歩けば、
道が開け、左手側にお店が見えますから！

京都の思い出作りとして友人と参加し、紅葉の干菓子や山茶花の上生菓子などを作りました。
職人さんが各グループ毎にお手本を見せて下さいますが、見るのと実際やるのでは大違い…。意外と難しかったです。でも自分たちで作った和菓子とお抹茶は最高で、とても楽しい体験ができました。残りの和菓子をお土産として持って帰れるのも嬉しかったです。季節ごとに作るモチーフが変わるので、機会があれば別の季節にまた参加したいなと思いました。

It was really interesting to try making sweets. In about an hour I could make 4 different types. I could taste one there. It was wonderful. The sweets you get to make change with each season, so I want to come again.

Make Fresh Soba the Traditional Way in Gion

Wonderful experience

Reviewed by: Dave B, 2015/08/14

The instruction was carefully presented by friendly professionals. They made the tedious task of noodle making a lot of fun for children and adults alike. eating our own cooking upstairs was icing on the cake. Couldn't have asked for a nicer experience.The facility was very clean. Instructors were accommodative of our English-speaking.

Leave extra time to find the kitchen because it is located in an alley off the main tourist thorough fare.

Traditional Japanese Sweets Making Experience in Arashiyama

First time making Japanese Sweets

Reviewed by: Yo-Da, 2015/07/10

As I sometimes make Western sweets but hardly make Japanese sweets, I made a reservation for this interesting experience.
It is kind of far from the center of Arashiyama, but it was a very superb store of Japanese sweets.

On the day for which I made a reservation, there were college students from Taiwan who were visiting to commemoratw their graduation, and about 20 people were there.
As they did not know Japanese, I was wondering how the teacher was going to teach, but a man who makes the Japanese sweets came to them and taught them how to prepare the sweets. They were so happy and excited. As for me, I am a clumsy person, but I was able to make a relatively satisfying Japanese confectionery.
I made three fresh sweets, hydrangea, fringed pink, and tsuyunosato (name of confectionery), and a Kizato, which looks like it was clipped. The wagashi are very delicate, but since the confectionery maker taught us one by one, even a person like me could make it. Using a spatula and cloth is also an interesting experience.
Furthermore, making method also differs a little for each type of confectionery, which was fun.
After making, you can taste the confectionery you made with green tea at the store. You can also bring back some other confectionery too. I'm so glad I could take some as a souvenir. I want to make these again!

初　和菓子作り

Reviewed by: よーだ, 2015/07/08

洋菓子を作ることは（たまに）あってもなかなか和菓子を作ることはないため、面白い体験をしてみたく予約してみました。
嵐山の中心街から若干遠いですが、とても素敵な和菓子さんでした。
私が予約した時はちょうど台湾の大学生の卒業旅行と重なり、20名前後の人がいました。
その人たちは言葉がわからないので、どうやって教えるのかなってと思っていたら、和菓子職人さん近くまでまわってきてもらって、作り方を近くで教えてくれましたよ。みんなすごくキャッキャしてて楽しそうでした！
自分の分については私は不器用なのですが、わりと満足いく和菓子を作ることとができました。
上生菓子3つ（紫陽花、撫子、露の里）ときざと（切り抜きのようなお菓子）を作りました。
繊細な和菓子の世界ですが、1つ1つ丁寧に教えてくれるので、こんな私でも作ることができました。ヘラや布巾を使って作るのもとても新鮮な体験でしたね。
それぞれちょっとずつ作り方も違うので楽しかったです。
お菓子を作り終わった後は、お抹茶と一緒にその場で食べることができます。自分で作ったお菓子と抹茶。そして他のお菓子は持ち帰れるんです。お土産にもなってよかったです。また是非作ってみたいと思いました！

Rolled Sushi and Tempura or Kyoto Obanzai Cooking Lesson with Transfer

Made my first Sushi and it was GOOD!!

Reviewed by: Sushi Apprentice, 2012/04/04

Be prepared to enter the kitchen of the traditional Kyoto housing! Being 6’ 1” & weighing 180lbs, a kitchen made for the standard Japanese physic was tight! Still the instructor was well prepared so stress was minimal once the class began.

If the first shock was the kitchen size, the next was that Japanese dishes are prepared with 3 or 4 primary seasonings! Sounded simple until the instructor took out a wood like object for the main seasoning!

This dried bonito (not wood) collaborating with the dried kelp broth created the “Dashi” used in each dish prepared. The broth flavorful, but not too strong, enhanced the flavor of each ingredient, making each dish taste differently. Truly surprising!

And the accompaniment of the instructor during the meal was a delight too. I got me additional cooking tips and table manners to take home!

My goal in taking this course was to surprise my Japanese wife. And the written recipe (included in the course) came in very handy back home!
