Kawaii Bento Experience - Kenji gave one of the best experiences for my wife and I that we ever had. He was a great, enthusiastic and inspiring instructor who put together a great experience. Couldn’t have asked for more! Highly recommend for anyone looking to make cute bentos for the first time especially as a couple!

Entertaining and cute - Today we visited the bento cooking class in Tokyo. In one hour we were able to create cute bento boxes and learn a little bit of history. We enjoyed the process and got charming bento! The place was easy to find, right next to rhe metro station.

Wonderful family experience - Thank you Kenji and Mani for this wonderful experience which as a family we really enjoyed. Having an experience that engaged our 10 year old and 14 year old equally is not easy to find! Being able to find a tour that we could enjoy as vegetarians was very much appreciated, as was Kenji’s gesture of adapting the design to allow our daughter to make her a bento of our pet bunny. Thank you!

Memorable experience during our honeymoon! Do it!! - Kenji and his team were very well organised with all the boring bits taken care of, we got to focus on experiencing the creative part! Getting to eat the bento at the end made it so much better. They took many photos for us throughout to help us remember the experience and even had a great lighting set up to get great pics of your final Bento creation. All the details were down pat! This was such a fun experience, learning about the history of the Bento box and how to create fun characters that look too cute to eat! Though eating them was easy because it all tasted so good!! We had so much fun, we would highly recommend to anyone who is spending some time in Tokyo! Kenji also did an amazing job to cater to helping bento-makers of all ages and abilities during the workshop - thanks again Kenji for our memorable time in Tokyo during our honeymoon!

Unique and fun experience - We had our first bento class today and it was extremely fun! Kenji is a really great instructor and the lesson is very fun and easy to follow. You learn the step by step on how to prepare a small bento box and he also gives tips on how to find the materials to prepare them. Highly recommend, it's a unique experience!

Too cute and fun! One of the best Japanese experiences! - My two young kids and I loved this! Combines creative crafting with food for the perfect combination. Bento turned out so cute and pretty that we were a little sad to eat them, haha. Kenji-san is such a friendly teacher, and you can tell how much care he put into making this class enjoyable. He was also kind enough to show us how to make a traditional Japanese omelet and gave us a fun short tour around the area. If these free add-ons are available, definitely do them. You will adore this class!
