10 out of 10! - This was such a lovely and personalized experience! Miho was incredibly knowledgeable, great with the kids and wonderful to get to know. She accommodated our gluten-free needs so that I would be able to enjoy every item we prepared. I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants an authentic and low-key cultural experience. We loved it! Thank you, Miho!!!

We had a great time at... - We had a great time at this cooking class with Miho. Her studio was easy enough to find, space is nice and clean. Had one of my favorite bites of the trip with one of the desserts with black sesame, I had never had it before and now obsessed. We enjoyed our learning and eating from this experience. Thanks Miho!
