Joyful morning of learning and laughter - What a special morning of learning, not only about how to make onigiri, but also useful Japanese phrases, history, culture. We also made miso soup, matcha and maki sushi, and tried sweet potato treats, and left very full! All in a warm and friendly home environment, with plenty of laughter and smiles. Highly recommend!

Wonderful home based cooking experience - Loved the home based cooking experience. Midori and Uiko made us very welcome in their home and introduced us to the culture and cuisine of Japan. Fabulous food and a fun, friendly once in a lifetime experience (Ichi-go, ichi-e as we learnt). Would highly recommend this class.

It’s not just a cooking class, it’s THE COOKING CLASS - The host had a great communication all of the time and provided really good explanations. It’s not “just to make onigiri” but have a bit of history and lots of fun. We enjoyed the experience and the food.

Warm, welcoming, and wonderfully customized! - My wife and I had a fantastic time. I’d done something similar before, but this one was far more informative—and way more fun! Midori and Uiko made us feel comfortable right away, and there was plenty of laughter and great conversation throughout. I requested to make norimaki instead of onigiri, and they happily accommodated—it felt like cooking with old friends. A truly memorable experience and a beautiful way to connect with the kind of genuine local culture that many Japanese people grow up with, but I’d never had the chance to experience myself.

Highly Recommend - I had so much fun making onigiri with Uiko and Midori! I was so grateful that they were able to accommodate my food limitations (vegan/gluten free), while still making sure everything was delicious. They were both so kind and fun to be around, and I learned a lot. I am excited to try making onigiri and miso soup at home :-)

Must not miss! - This was an amazing experience! Midori picked us up from our hotel and took us to Weiko's lovely home (then dropped us back at the end!). Our two hosts were incredible, spoke excellent English and had set up a play area for our two young kids to play. We got to make 3 kinds of onigiri, miso soup, participate in a tea ceremony and shared Japanese sweets for dessert. They explained Japanese traditions and culture for us and were so friendly and helpful. They also provided us with chopstick holders that had our names in kanji on them. The food was absolutely delicious and the whole experience was just delightful. This was the highlight of our whole Japan trip! I highly recommend Onigiri Hiroshima! 🍙🍡
