Meet your local host Michiyo and let her introduce you to the special menu of the day, before you start your hands-on cooking experience in her Kyoto kitchen. Michiyo truly enjoys sharing her knowledge on Japanese cooking techniques that she has perfected over the years. You will learn to make dashi stock (a fundamental building block of Japanese cuisine), and to perfectly prepare sushi rice for chirashi-sushi that you will later garnish in a traditional wooden bowl. The cooking portion of the experience will take about an hour and half before you and Michiyo will sit down together to enjoy the authentic Japanese meal you helped prepare paired with carefully selected alcohol to accent the delicious food.

Being in a private home with Michiyo and her husband was a wonderful experience. My husband and I enjoyed reviewing recipes and learning hands on with Michiyo's guidance and expertise. This was one of our Japan trip highlights!

My husband and I did a cooking class with Michiyo during our visit to Kyoto this October. It was one of the highlights of our trip! We loved learning about Japanese ingredients and cooking techniques, and the dishes we cooked with Michiyo were absolutely delicious! She and her husband were such kind hosts, and they gave us many recommendations for what to do in the area during the rest of our trip. If you like cooking, definitely book this! You won't regret it. :)

We had the best time with Michiyo and her husband! She walked us through all the fundamentals of the building blocks for Japanese cooking, then we used these ingredients to make 5 dishes that we all enjoyed together. We can’t wait to bring our new skills back to the US. Thank you Michiyo!

From the moment we saw Michiyo waiting for us at the station I knew we going to have a wonderful day. We spent the afternoon learning the basics of Japanese flavours and techniques and then enjoyed the fruits of our labour while learning about life in Kyoto. Both Michiyo and her husband were delightful and very patient as we peppered them with questions about their life in Japan.

I had such a lovely evening with Michiyo and her husband, at their home. Michiyo provided easy directions and collected me from the train station. Together we made five delicious dishes—Japanese omelette, miso soup, spinach with sesame, salmon, and beef stew, while she explained the key elements of Japanese seasoning. I also tasted a range of delicious green teas. At the end, Michiyo gave me the recipes as well as a packet of instant dashi so I can recreate the dishes at home. Michiyo's husband also gave me great information about local "off the beaten track" tourist attractions. They both spoke excellent English making communication easy. This was my first time in Japan, and this experience was the perfect way to get a taste of real Japanese home life and cooking—so much more meaningful than the usual tourist activities. Highly recommend you add it to your itinerary!

Every part of this experience was amazing! Michiyo is a great host in every way - from the clear instructions in how to get to the meeting place to the explanation and cultural lessons behind every dish we made together, our time together was seamless. Michiyo and her husband were a pleasure to speak with and were beyond helpful in planning the rest of our time in Kyoto as well. They showed us incredible hospitality and helped us make memories that we will cherish for a long time. If you are in Kyoto, we would highly recommend taking this class!
