Fun, relaxed and authentic Japanese sweets lesson - I had a lovely time making these Japanese treats. There’s a few to make and many different skills to learn so it was fun and interesting. I felt very welcome and it was a 1:1 lesson. The location was easy to find and nearby the metro, I would totally recommend this as an interesting and authentic activity whilst visiting Japan! Thank you!! 😊

I had an excellent... - I had an excellent private class with Yuko-san. After an overview of traditional Japanese sweets, I have learned different techniques for some of them. This is a hands-on class where you get to do the sweets yourself while your instructor gives you constant feedback. This is not a generic nor group class, Yuko-san is very generous of her time and comments.

Amazing mochi making experience with the kindest teacher! - Yuko was so kind and patient with us, and a wonderful guide through the art and process of creating Mochi. Yuko is very informative on the techniques, but what adds to the experience are the conversations about the cultural connection of mochi to traditions. Add to this the beautiful surroundings of the home and vista, and it made for a very memorable experience. We highly recommend!

SIGN UP NOW! I loooved this - I ABSOLUTELY loved this class! Yuko was my instructor and she was the most sweetest and patient person. I felt like I was at home learning to cook with my mom ♥️ She walks you through everything step by step and goes over the significance and history behind each dessert. Not to mention they were soooo good I wish I could’ve kept eating them. She sent me home with a take out tray of sweets and a goodie bag for keepsakes. We began the experience with some amazing tea and finished it off with some delicious matcha. I will most definitely return for another class when I visit Japan so if you are thinking about booking this activity BOOK IT!
