Tomoko is the best teacher, I loved this experience! - I had the absolute pleasure of taking a cooking class in the home of a wonderful woman in Sapporo — and it turned out to be one of the most meaningful experiences of my entire trip to Japan. She’s not only an incredibly knowledgeable cook, but also a generous and thoughtful teacher. The class was hands-on, personal, and filled with stories and laughter. I learned so much — not just about cooking, but about Japanese hospitality and daily life. What made this experience truly special was Tomoko herself. Her kindness stayed with me long after the class ended, and we’ve even kept in touch since. I feel as though I’ve made a lifelong friend in her. If you’re visiting Sapporo and want to connect with local culture in an authentic, intimate way, I cannot recommend this experience enough. It was the highlight of my time in Hokkaido.

Seafood Rolls, Tempura Cooking Class & Matcha with Tomoko - If you happen to be planning a trip to Sapporo, join Tomoko’s class and learn some new skills! This experience is truly memorable; not only did I learn how to make seafood rolls, cook tempura, and prepare matcha, but I also enjoyed sharing conversations with a newfound friend. Tomoko is an incredibly wonderful guide, and I appreciate her for being attentive the whole time. She takes time to explain the step-by-step process and makes sure I feel comfortable always. Would highly recommend!
