Risa-san is such a lovely, attentive and generous host. We prepared dashi, Japanese curry and miso soup, that we ate together with a few delicious side dishes. She really made us feel at home and I cannot recommend her enough, this was one of our best experiences in Japan.

Good experience with the cooking class. The host has good patience, even though the event was delayed due to the navigation of the place not being according to the website description (not the host's fault, but the company's). When you try to contact the host via email (according to the website), it can take several minutes of delay. Here it is good that before the event you have contacted the host. Finally Sakura-san came to pick me up, which was very kind. Similarly on the way home she went with me to the nearest train station to lead me to the right destination. As a result, all the dishes were made according to the descriptions. But there were two more dishes that were (bonus) not planned. But I am happy to try them. In summary, it was a good experience, despite the complications. But the host is helpful and helped me. In addition to the authentic food (which some claim to be simple), there were dishes that were prepared with love. The host gave good advice on Japanese food and typical food related to Sapporo and Hokkaido. //Minh

Our family of 5 had a lovely evening with Toshiko and her son. She made us a wonderful meal, with many courses and was very generous with her time, food and drinks. Toshiko has excellent english and we enjoyed chatting to her about her life and living in Tokyo. The location is stunning. On the 25th floor of a building overlooking the river and city. Thoroughly recommend.

The venue location, the cook's home, is a big out of the way. We took a train for about 30 minutes and went to a suburb. It was nice that Akiko came and picked us up. The grocery store tour was interesting. The class felt rushed but was very informative and hands on. Language was a little bit of a barrier but Akiko certainly knew more English than we knew Japanese.

The highlight of our Tokyo visit! Our cooking class and dinner with Hiroko was so special. It felt like dinner with family. She was such a generous host and made us feel extremely welcome. We could have stayed and chatted to her for much longer! The food was absolutely delicious and lots of thought had been put into the menu. Thank you so much for having us in your lovely home, Hiroko-san. We couldn’t recommend this experience highly enough.

Hello! I’m a traveler from South Korea. I had always wanted to learn authentic Japanese home cooking, so I searched for cooking classes in Sapporo. I found this class through an AI recommendation, and after reading so many wonderful reviews, I decided to book it. What really stood out to me was that, unlike other classes, this one included a visit to a local market, which made the experience even more special. The instructor spoke both Japanese and English very well, so communication was smooth and comfortable throughout the entire experience. At the market, she recommended products that locals actually use. If I had visited the market on my own as a tourist, I probably would have ended up buying a few disappointing souvenirs. Instead, every single item she recommended turned out to be amazing! I brought them back to Korea, shared them with my family and friends, and even recreated the dishes at home. Everything was a huge success! Before the class, she asked what I wanted to learn, so I was able to cook the exact Japanese dishes I had hoped to make. I also learned a lot about Japanese seasonings, cooking utensils, and ingredients she uses in her own kitchen. Those little tips made the class even more valuable. Most importantly, she was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. We had great conversations throughout the class, and she explained every step so clearly that I felt completely comfortable from beginning to end. I originally thought this was simply a small-group class, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it’s actually one private booking per session. That made the experience even more personal and enjoyable. This time I joined by myself, but next time I’d love to come back with my friends or family. I truly think many Korean travelers would love this class if they knew about it. Hopefully I’ll have the chance to visit again before it becomes even more popular! Thank you so much for giving me one of the most memorable experiences of my trip to Sapporo. I’ll never forget it!

This was one of the best experiences of our trip! Makiko was such a lovely host, teaching us about the different processes and sharing interesting stories. The supermarket tour was great with a local point of view. And of course the food is amazing! And it was so interesting having real home style Japanese cooking. If you’re looking for a more intimate experience with a peek into a Japanese household you should definitely try this one.

A delicious experience. I opted for the class with Emika because I was looking for an experience closer to the local daily life in the city than a class in a local restaurant. I believe I made the right choice! The experience is like visiting "a family friend" or someone like that, a person who introduces you to the city, its customs, while preparing and sharing a meal with you. Having traveled alone for days and having just arrived in Kyoto, it was exactly the encounter I needed. Yes, it's a high price by Brazilian standards, but it's not a tourist product, but rather the service of someone who opens their home to receive you with care, cordiality, and respect.

I booked a cooking class with Furu through Traveling Spoon. He offers a variety of dishes to learn. I was most curious about Tamago-yaki, the Japanese omelette. Furu was a great teacher; rolling and flipping the Tamago-yaki is much more difficult than it appears! We also prepared Japanese hot pot and soba for the rest of the meal. Great experience and delicious food!

We really enjoyed our privat japanes class. Emy is very friendly a d her teaching is easy to understang! Gilles, Yasmine, Nabila!🙏💐
