My wife and I had the most amazing time with this cooking class. Our instructor Miho was very kind, welcoming, and fun! I feel like we learned a lot and had a great time talking with Miho, and the food was delicious.
Thank you so much Miho for an unforgettable experience in Kyoto!

Great variety of recipes
Great experience! Hands-on learning made it possible to prepare seven different items including sushi, vegetable tempura, miso soup and mochi. I preferred this class to other one-recipe options. The grocery store tour at the end was key to discovering tasty Japanese treats we would not otherwise have discovered. Highly recommend.
