Cooking with an expert - I give this experience 10 stars, Tomoko is so friendly, warm and a great teacher. We chose gyoza and ramen to cook, it was one of the best meals we ate in Japan, not only was it home cooking but we did it together with Tomoko. The day I come back to Tokyo, I’m definitely coming back to do another class to learn more dishes!! Fingers crossed when I go back home (Australia-Melbourne) I can replicate what I learnt. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you for sharing everything with Tony and I, Tomoko.

Absolutely wonderful experience - a major highlight of our trip! - The entire experience with Tomoko was great. It was very nice to have one on one time with a very experienced chef and all-around awesome person. In the weeks leading up to our trip, she made sure to check in what type of food we wanted to cook and whether we had any food allergies. On the day of the class, she met us at the Todoroki station and we took a walk through the beautiful park and shrine on the way to her house. Once at her house, she was gracious and well-prepared with snack and a drink ready to go. The cooking lesson (in our case, washoku “home cooking”) was very informative and the three of us prepared two dishes together. Tomoko was a great teacher and happily answered a lot of questions during the process. The food was incredibly tasty and fresh, including some home-made items and fresh herbs from her garden. We had a delicious lunch together, including a dessert and some fantastic plum wine. We really felt her love for cooking come through during the class, and also the care and planning she puts in for her clients. I’m so happy we chose this experience and it was one of highlights of our trip.

Exceptional Cooking Class! - We had an incredible experience during our private cooking class with Tomoko in her beautiful home! The entire experience was so much fun, and Tomoko was a fantastic host. She generously shared insights about her community, the rich history of her culture, and her amazing cooking skills. It felt like more than just a class; it was a cultural immersion that I wouldn't want anyone to miss out on. Tomoko is not only kind but also has a beautiful personality that makes you feel right at home. Plus, her place was easy to reach by train. I highly recommend this cooking class to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable experience in Japan!

My second experience - I had a second cooking class with Tomokita this week and it was so special, more interesting and enjoyable than the first class. Her passion teaching Japanese food was inspiring so much her class,the helpful tips, and above all, the warmth with which she accompanied me throughout the course. I can highly recommend this course to everyone.

Great lesson led by a talented host - I was working on a travel documentary series and we had the pleasure of introducing our participants to Ms. Tomoko and filming in with her in her beautiful home. It was a truly special opportunity for both the participants and the crew. Ms. Tomoko was a wonderful and accommodating host throughout the whole process and I don't think I could say enough kind things about the overall experience. A lot of thought and care goes into her lesson and style of hosting.

Perfect and unique cooking class! - Tomoko tailored the class to what we were interested in and adjusted per my food allergies. We first experienced a cool neighborhood shrine and park and then started cooking. We made quite a few dishes and she explained each one. Lunch was delicious and we left very full with the recipes! Tomoko is very welcoming, warm, and professional! We highly recommend this class while you’re in Tokyo!
