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

We did the cooking experience with Kanae via the Traveling Spoon. We had visited Sapporo a few years ago and particularly liked soup curry. So when visiting Sapporo this time, we wanted to find a cooking class for it. Unfortunately it was difficult to find until we stumbled on Kanae's Traveling Spoon page/profile. Because you can make various foods with her, I booked the experience and reached out to her to double check that soup curry could be made. She responded quickly to let us know it could be accommodated. Kanae's instructions on where to meet her were perfect and she was on time for pick up. She took us to her home and we chatted over making soup curry. It was a great experience and a nice cultural exchange. Kanae speaks great English as she went to college in the US so you don't need to be nervous of the language barrier if you don't speak Japanese.

Can not recommend this experience highly enough!!!!! I learnt a lot about Japanese food and culture - Shiori is lovely - very easy to talk to and perfect English
