This was the absolute best experience we had in Tokyo. The most beautiful welcome, such kindness and such hospitality. A real contrast to the city, felt authentically like to the real Japan.
Absolutely amazing experience, fantastic food and friendly people.
The people serving us were very freindly and brightend our day they also tought us how to make rice balls and gave us miso soup.
Fabulous experience and lunch. In a very relaxed and welcoming environment. I learnt so much and keen to make rice balls when I get home. Yuki was a great teacher.
This has been the highlight of our trip so far. Highly recommend the onigiri making class! My family and I had so much fun making lunch. We learned a lot from the very kind teachers who made us feel very welcome. All of the food was absolutely delicious.
We would highly recommend this experience. Yuki helped us understand the best way to make several Japanese dishes. This provided us with fun and a very tasty lunch! We learned how to roll sushi, make tempura, and miso soup.
Had a really great time :) Masayo and Eiko were so very sweet and attentive, showing us how to make the onigiri, explaining the different types of miso and blending together our two favorite flavors, describing the history behind all the foods we tried. They were such lovely hosts and there was plenty of side dishes available! Ended the course with some Japanese sweets and matcha. Would highly recommend!
This was a great experience, highly recommend doing this if you are in the area. Masayo and Eiko are both very kind and great teachers.
It was an amazing experience. We learnt tricks and tips on how to make onigiri and enjoyed a traditional lunch with the onigiris we made and some side dishes (don't leave the radish, it tastes great!!). They offered us a sweet and some tea, and it was the perfect desert. Both teachers were extra nice, and also super fun! It was splendid to have a nice chat with them while enjoying the tea!!
This is such a unique and family friendly experience. We were able to have the kids interact and make part of their own meal, before being served a delicious authentic Bento. There were other great distractions for kids, like origami and calligraphy. Highly recommend
The class was amazing. Our instructors were so patient and so wonderful. Would highly recommend for families and friends to do.
This was THE highlight of our trip to Tokyo!! We just happened upon this little restaurant. The proprietors were so very friendly and welcoming, and they showed us how to make rice onigiri in the shape of cats. My daughter and I had so much fun - it was like decorating Christmas cookies! And then we were served a delicious bento box and very tasty miso soup. I highly recommend making a special trip to “Cat Alley” just for this experience
This was an amazing experience and delicious food! The hosts were very nice and gave us a lot of us useful tips and phrases to use on the rest of our trip.
Everything was great! Very nice people and interesting explanations We truly enjoyed it, thanks again! Good map of the city too, only local ingredients
Truly incredible place. A unique experience accompanied by infinite kindness. The preparation of the onigiri was a lot of fun and the lunch was delicious and above all authentic. Very recommended!!!
Wonderful rice ball lesson with Eiko and Kuni who teached us how to prepare onigiri, how to use the tools and told us everything about the different japenese ingredients. We ate the onigiris at the end with a lovely and amazing home-made bento. We highly recommend you to visit this place!
Wonderful experience. The hosts are really nice and friendly. The bento box was excellent. They really make an effort. Thank you.
It was really ah amazing experience! The hosts are very kind and pleasurable people and we really enjoyed our conversation. We did the onigiri course, and I am sure that all the experiences they offer are worth it. Furthermore, they really cared about my gluten free diet!
Very great experience making our own onigiri which later we ate with an amazing bento box! Very friendly staff ! Very worth the visit and experience! Loved it! 😊
The scenery was excellent, real authentic lunch. The Bentobox was a real experience. The ladies were very helpful and the food was excellent.
Hello It was our first activity in Japan. We had a great moment to make our Onigiri Bento. Go there it’s a good moment in family !
Very kind staff, and really tasfy food. Both the meal and riceball making was a wonderful experience. It is a must see if you visit the area!
Wonderful experience making your own onigiri and then savouring it with a great bento box full of traditional japanese bites. The hosts are incredibly friendly. Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful time experience making and then eating our bento boxes. Yuki was very patient and friendly, explaining everything in detail. Highly recommended!
We attended an onigiri workshop. Super well received by Kuni and we were immediately put to "work" after a nice explanation. You will be helped with a lot of enthusiasm and love. After the workshop you can also eat it... we enjoyed this lunch and workshop a lot. We recommend this workshop for a fun outing.
A fantastic experience! The workshop allows you to make your own oniguiris in different ways and with ingredients 100% of the area and then of course you can eat them. It also includes a traditional bento that is very good, with dessert and tea you have to come hungry because there is so much to eat. The hosts are wonderful and explain everything step by step, help with everything and also give you very good conversation and information about what you need from the area. The visit is more than justified because around there are lots of more traditional sites, temples and shopping that contrast with the most modern in Tokyo. An experience of 10!
Fantastic experience with nice and wonderful people, I also recommend a lot for lunch in Japanese style really beautiful
Incredible and traditional experience of Japanese cuisine. The food is very good and varied and especially an unforgettable welcome. I highly recommend
Amazing experience, wonderful place! Must try if you take a ride to yanaka! It is a real experience: I prepared your onigiri with their Guide and then you will enjoy them with a delicious traditional meal, delicious dishes! The staff is very kind, willing to tell anything and company (they also speak great in English!) Quality price super! It's worth it. Really highly recommended!
Excellent reception, the owners are very kind and attentive. My celiac friend explained the problem and they served suitable dishes. Very good food! Thanks again
Great experience to better know Japanese cuisine so rich in flavor. We were with family and enjoyed this activity. I recommend.
We loved making our onigiri! The 2 organizers are adorable! We then ate our onigiri and a delicious bento prepared by them.
