Family fun activity - This was a really fun activity, it was a great way to get my kids (8 and 5 years old) involved. They learned about Japanese culture, got to get creative, and even tried new foods! I was surprised at how into it the kids got, and how they were willing to try new foods they are usually so picky! The event was well organized, everything was prepared and ready to go. They were very accommodating, even set up cool backdrops for us to take photos of our Bento. I would absolutely recommend this experience!

A really wonderful moment, thank you so much !! - We went, my cousin and I. We are travelling form France. The instructors were super nice, friendly and fun ! The workshop was beautifully prepared, very accessible (we did the English version) and really fun. We learned a lot about the traditions of bento making, and were encouraged through the whole workshop to make a beautiful piece of art ! There is a photo stand where you can take photos of your work. We made 2 different characters, panda and bear, they were both super adorable ! The bento ingredients were very fresh and well prepared, and we chose to eat our bento at the workshop location after making it, rather than taking it home. They also have drinks available to buy during the workshop and for eating. It was delicious !! The atmosphere was really friendly and welcoming, and the instructors were very nice, helpful and encouraging. They also kindly gave many great recommendations of things to see, do, eat or shop in Tokyo. We look forward to trying them out ! Thank you so much to Kenji and Sei for making this experience so enjoyable and exciting ! We highly recommend it, for people of all ages who are passionate about Japanese food culture.

Bento Boxes - so cute and fun! - Kenji and his team did such an amazing job teaching us how to put together super fun and cute bento lunches! He also taught us some about the history of bento, which was a cool and unexpected touch. Additionally, our family has some really annoying food allergies and his team went out of the way to be sure we had a safe and equally enjoyable experience (we are used to having to “miss out” on things). Their care and attention really made the experience special! It was a great break from touring and an enormous hit with the kids! Highly recommend!

Fun class for the whole family - Had such a fun time in this class- we did it with our 2 girls (ages 5 and 10) and they both had a lot of fun. It was the perfect length for them. You also get to take home the bento box which was a fun gift. Highly recommend!
