Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Unique, fun and such lovely people

Reviewed by: Eliot Wong

Three of us had a very relaxed hour making ramen, a sundae and a tartlet key ring. They looked really professional. The owner showed us what to do and he and his wife were really lovely people, drawing us a map so we could get to our next port of call. This is such a unique experience and a fun Tokyo activity. The food looks so realistic!

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

A great experience!

Reviewed by: Joyce

We participated in the ramen making activity. It was a fun experience and a highlight of our vacation to Tokyo. It was very easy to find the studio, located only minutes away from the subway station. We felt welcomed as soon as we entered the workshop. The instructor, who spoke English, was extremely polite, patient, and friendly. The project was very safe and easy. The final product looked delicious and good enough to eat! They also have some ready made samples of some other foods that one can purchase as well. Overall, this is a delightful activity that we highly recommend to those who want to try something different, especially something that is not typically offered in the United States.

Really good time <3

Reviewed by: Kami

We spent really good time with two really nice teachers. We get cake and tea, we talk a lot, and it was a really good time for us. Very creative family I think :)

Bardzo fajne zajęcia. Tak na prawdę, można nie tylko nauczyć się reperowania ceramiki, ale tworzenia biżuterii, malowania i wielu innych rzeczy - o co można zapytać już na miejscu :) Na wstępie dostaliśmy ciasto i herbatkę. Później rozmawiając na wiele tematów robiliśmy swoje dzieła i rozmawialiśmy z pozostałymi uczestnikami ( są cztery miejsca dostępne na jedne zajęcia ). Zdecydownie mogę polecić ^^

Stone Juzu Buddhist Rosary Making Lesson in Daikanyama

Interesting meeting

Reviewed by: Kami

That was a really interesting meeting. We talk about buddhist religion and more. We create our rosary and had a good time. :) Maybe next time we will come in Tera Cafe just as Cafe visitors.

Bardzo ciekawe doświadczenie, jeśli choć trochę mówisz po japońsku warto tam pójść. Można porozmawiać z buddystą na przeróżne ciekawe tematy i przy tym dobrze się bawić robiąc bransoletkę. Nikt nie pospiesza. Można porozmawiać o buddyźmie i dowiedzieć się wielu rzeczy.

Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko were lovely. They were very friendly and helpful in explaining what to do. You are even able to buy Kintsugi materials too. Usually, you have to leave your ceramic for a day to let it dry however I was flying home the day after. Yoshiko was nice enough to package mine up for travel for me!

Stone Juzu Buddhist Rosary Making Lesson in Daikanyama

Making a Juzu at the talked about cafe

Reviewed by: taro

Recently I've been seeing the Tera Cafe on TV or online, so I decided to go ahead and give the Juzu making a try.

The four of us in my family all wanted to go, and since booking pink (New Quartz) and blue (New Aquamarine) or green (New Jade) has to be done separately, I booked 3 of us for blue/green and 1 for pink.
Just a bit after booking, one of the staff from the cafe called to confirm my details.

The store was even closer to Daikanyama Station that I expected, and it was really easy to see with the 5 colored drapery and store logo.
The inside was like a Western cafe, but unique with the shrine to the Amitabha Buddha inside.

This cafe apparently has a monk who is resident, but the staff that day was a woman.
Even my elementary school boy and 3 year old daughter had fun, as the instructions were clear and well taught.
We even learned a bit about the parts of the Juzu, like the ""Oyadama"" parent ball and the ""Basa"" pieces.
We fit the kids' by removing stones until the size was just right, and everyone had a picture perfect one by the end.
It felt really nice to make something just how you imagined it.
You can wear it all the time or just carry it with you when you go to visit a temple.

I was focused on making the Juzu today, but the more I think about it the more I think that talking about Buddhism or the temples would have been nice. It's not really a topic you get to talk about a lot.

That's it about the Juzu rosary making, but actually... We went a bit early and had lunch at the cafe too.
The price is a bit high but the quality and contents are really delicious, so I recommend it.

  • Perfect fit for everyone

  • Threading them one by one

数珠作り体験 手作業を通して精神統一！仏様を身近に感じる、腕輪念珠ブレスレット＜毎日催行／渋谷区＞ by 寺カフェ 代官山

ウワサの寺カフェで念珠作り

Reviewed by: taro

最近TVやネットで時々目にして気になっていた寺カフェで、数珠作り体験ができるという事で参加してみました。

申し込みは家族4人分で、「ピンク(新紅水晶)」と「ブルー(新トルコ石)またはグリーン(新翡翠)」とで別々に申し込むようになっていた為、ピンク1人とブルー・グリーン3人で申し込みました。
するとすぐに寺カフェの方からお電話があり申し込み内容の確認をしていただけました。

お店は思っていた以上に代官山駅に近く、独特な5色の幕や印象的なお店のロゴで一目でそれとわかりました。
店内も洋風のカフェっぽい作りの中に阿弥陀如来が安置されていたりと独特な雰囲気。

このカフェにはお坊さんが常駐しているらしいのですがこの日は女性の方でした。
小学生の息子と3歳の娘も参加したのですが、親切丁寧に教えていただき全員で楽しめました。
「親玉」「ぼさ」といった数珠のパーツの名称など、ちょっとした知識も得られます。
子供達は珠をいくつか抜くことでそれぞれの腕にあったサイズに調整し、全員イメージ通りの数珠が無事出来上がりました。
思った通りの仕上がりで良い感じです。
普段から身に着けて構わないし、お寺などに行った際にはそのまま手に持ち使う事もできるそうです。

当日は数珠作りに夢中でしたが、今になって思えばもっとお寺や仏教などについてお話を聞かせていただけば良かったかなと思います。
なかなか無い機会なので。

数珠作り体験は以上なのですが、実はこの日、せっかくなので早めにお店に行きランチもいただきました。
お値段もなかなかなのですが、それに納得できる内容でとても美味しく、こちらもオススメです。

After spending out whole trip thinking we wouldn't we able to learn how to make sample food due to our lack of conversational Japanese, we finally found this place! We had a great time making the sample ramen. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They were also enthusiastic to talk about the different methods of sample food making and the history behind it.

We had a young chap who spoke quite good English for a Japanese, to run through what we were supposed to do.

The whole process was very fun and it was amazing to see the other fake food items that the store makes too!

The only downside is finding this place, it is in a small and quiet neighbourhood in Tokyo. However it was also fun exploring the area once you're there.

Highly recommended, not only for families with young kids but adults as well!

What a special evening. The instructor was an eager young woman and the craft shop owners were present as well, and we had a friendly evening talking about the craft of ceramic repair, learning and talking about Tokyo and my travels. They were eager to impart their knowledge, and the atmosphere was casual and friendly. I recommended the class to an attendee of another workshop, and I've seen that she took this class as well. I'm hoping she enjoyed it as much as me.

Ever since seeing one of those gold-repaired tea bowls I wanted to try it, and this was a really fun morning class. It was a really 'local' experience as there were few neighborhood ladies doing crafts at the same time, and it was cool to explore the area around the studio. The teacher was super sweet, and can speak basic English. She even served sweets and coffee, a lovely bonus!

We booked the sundae workshop, and after completing it we realised we should of booked a full day and done all of them!
I booked this (female) for my partner and I to do, he wasnt looking forward to it but ending up having alot of fun.
The guy we had was fantastic, we took lots of photos, he explained everything perfectly.
It was alittle tricky to find, we did follow the directions but went too far - the place is part of a house, and there is a little sliding door where you need to go. So if you end up at a t-intersection after it says it is on the left hand side you have gone too far.

My 5 yr old did this and the tart keychain. Although he was too small to handle the piping 'gun', he really wanted to try it. The instructor did a great job in helping my son hold the gun and guide it while still allowing him to still feel like he did the piping! It's very similar to the tart making in that you pick 5 decorative items, pipe the cream then decorate!
