Fantastic cooking class and supermarket tour - We had a wonderful time! We managed to make a full Japanese lunch, including futomaki and an egg roll/omelette. Miho is a skilled and patient teacher, always ready to answer questions. She teaches you technique and culture. The supermarket visit is lively and informative. Besides making delicious food, the experience is excellent due to Miho herself, who is kind and lovely.

The best experience :) - The absolute best! The kindest host and cosiest, most impressive lunch! I felt so looked after, gained so much knowledge and experience and had the best time. Absolutely delicious food that you can take home if you can't eat it all (you make soo much) and it's some of the best food I've had since being in Japan. The supermarket tour is such a lovely addition and she's the loveliest person to spend time with. I hugely recommend it :)

Fun time cooking Japanese food - Had an amazing time learning how to make a tasty Japanese meal with Mihoko. She was fantastic! We even went to the local grocery store and she pointed out some popular Japanese ingredients and foods. Highly recommend if you enjoy cooking and learning about the local cuisine!

Wonderful cooking experience in Japanese home - We loved the experience of cooking in someone’s house to see a tradition Japanese home and make traditional Japanese food. The tempura and miso soup were my favorites.

Cooking in Kyoto - It was our first time to Japan and this cooking experience was absolutely amazing. Having Miho as our teacher was perfect. To have this cooking experience at a home made it more intimate. Not only did she teach us how to cook, but she explained the significance of some of the ingredients. From miso soup, sushi, to mochi ice cream for dessert, everything we made was delicious! After making our delicious meal, we were able to enjoy it in a traditional way. Miho also took us to the market and showed us many types of food and ingredients. This cooking experience is a must! Truly a memorable time! Thank you Miho for opening up your place to us and teaching us some Japanese dishes.

Splendid! - I had the most wonderful experience in my cooking class with Milo! She was so lovely and taught me so much about the different ingredients and techniques to make a variety of traditional Japanese foods. I am so glad we made so many different items. Now I can brag that I can make tamagoyaki! Making it in a local home made it even more special. I highly recommend for other solo travelers and groups! Cannot wait to introduce her teachings to family and friends back home.

Highlight of our trip to Kyoto! - Experiencing the daily lives of Japanese locals is something that is easily missed in simple travel. This opportunity not only teaches you the foundation of Japanese cooking, but it also exposes you to the Japanese home life! Our cooking instructor provided us with surprising and insightful answers to all our curious questions. This was by far the best part of our trip in Kyoto.

Look no further, this is the one! - One of the highlights of our trip! We always like to do cooking classes when we travel and this one is a stand-out. Miho is a wonderful, knowledgeable host and we had such a lovely time learning from and chatting with her. The class was very well-organized and ran smoothly, but never felt rushed. We really liked that we made a variety of dishes to create a delicious, filling lunch set which we got to enjoy in Miho’s traditional Japanese room with tatami flooring. And the supermarket trip at the end was the icing on top!
