Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Such a pleasant experience!!

Reviewed by: Nicole G.

I just made my own bowl of ramen this weekend and I was helped by one of the workers, Ryou. He was so sweet!! He was able to communicate effectively in English, showed me every step with patience, rooted me on, and even offered to take photos/videos of me throughout the process. After I was finished making my bowl, it took only about 5 minutes for it to dry and I was ready to go!

They also have an area where they sell fake food goodies, and I bought myself some gyoza earrings. It was an easy, quick walk from the station. If you’re into fake food, definitely recommend!!

Tokyo Kintsugi Workshop: Simple Gold Repair Class near Shin Koenji

A must do activity when you're in Tokyo!

Reviewed by: Priti

Yoshiichiro san and Yoshiko san were such lovely people. Clearly very passionate about their craft, they taught us the art of Kintsugi with a step by step process. They even told us where to purchase the equipment ourselves if we wanted to do this at home, which we did.

I appreciated how kind and patient they were, the 2 hour class flew by so quickly, we had so much fun!

Absolutely loved this experience and highly recommend this class.

Tokyo Kintsugi Workshop: Simple Gold Repair Class near Shin Koenji

Excellent experience - highly recommend!

Reviewed by: Elizabeth S

This experience exceeded my expectations from start to finish. Delicious treats and all our supplies were laid out in the small studio. We were warmly welcomed, received interesting historic perspective, and coached on all the steps in a simple repair process. Our hosts thought of everything, shared lots of media coverage about their work, gave clear instructions, helpful samples, and demonstrations. I was able to repair a beloved piece (pre-approved by photo and email) and also purchased some antique (not broken) pieces. Brilliant set up for travelling home without marring the piece!

Creative Experience with lovely instructors

Reviewed by: Linda

Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro are wonderful instructors who we‘re very welcoming. They helped us step through step to repair our little bowls and cups. Yoshikos english is very Good and we were only Four people in total, which was Perfect and relaxing. They perfectly packed our finished goods so we could easily Transport them back to our Home Country. Also we got a Shopping List for all the stuff you need to do Kintsugi at Home, which was very practical at the Store. I highly recommend taking the class here! Thank you so much!

Loved this workshop which was held in a very small group and super relaxed atmosphere and environment.
The technique was clearly explained and I came away feeling I had learned something that wetted my petite for more.
It's a perfect 'taster' session and you get to take an unusual souvenir home. Just loved it

Tokyo Kintsugi Workshop: Simple Gold Repair Class near Shin Koenji

Calm and welcoming introduction to Kintsugi

Reviewed by: Connie

This was the most calming and grounding experience, a total contradiction to a typical day in Tokyo. Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro welcome you into the small street facing studio with home made cake, local treats and freshly brewed tea. Occasionally there is the odd call out from their cat that makes the experience so homely and real that you know you are getting a legitimate immersion into a part of Japanese art and culture.

The class is hands on and Yoshiko makes sure you leave with all the tools you need to keep practicing after you leave the class. She also gives you insights into Japanese culture that are inaccessible to the average visitor.

If you are someone who likes to get under the skin of a city or country, and you like to get off the tourist track to truly start to get your foot into the door of what a culture is about, this is the class for you.

An amazing and unique experience!

Reviewed by: kaywaiian

We had a magnificent time with our instructor for the food class! He was instructive, patient, and made the experience the best it could be. You can really tell he loves what he does, and teaching people about it. If we ever come back to Japan, we will definitely be taking another class.

I also want to note: these classes can be taken in English is need be. Our instructor apologized for his “bad English” - and then spoke perfect English the whole time. I was like “no- WE apologize for OUR bad Japanese >_<“

Great fun for all ages. I took my husband and his guy friend, and they loved it more than they thought. Just 10/10 experience.

Very fun!

Reviewed by: Barbara

Owner and stuff were amazingly friendly and took the time to explain the instructions. I laughed when one of the staff members to please flatten the ramen noodles like a frisbee. These are awesome souvenirs and me and the boyfriend enjoyed it a lot. It's a unique experience for sure. The class itself doesn't take too long, maybe 30-40 minutes? It depends on how many things you're making and if the instructor is busy. If you have the chance, i highly recommend this experience! You take your product home right away, they packaged my deluxe parfait very carefully in a box and then into a bag to take home. It'll take 24 hours for the silicone (the "whipped cream" to fully harden.

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Lexi

I booked this experience for my boyfriend's birthday as he's a big fan of plastic food, so we wanted to learn how to make it and try it out for ourselves. If you're worried that this experience may only be fun for kids or families, we're both in our early 30s and had a really fun time of it!

The owner told us about the history of the craft while he taught us how to make our plastic fried rice, and it was really interesting to learn about!

They have a lot of fun trinkets and jewelry for sale as well that make amazing gifts for friends and family!

Would highly recommend this experience for anyone interested.
