Great cooking class with 2 cool Japanese guys - Nori and Tom are a great team, taking you step by step through the process of how to prepare each dish. Their English is very good, they are interesting characters and fun to talk to. The final result of all the cooking was very professional and yummy. The location is quite central and you can easily walk to Gion's touristy parts from there. Do not hesitate to take the class.

Glad we did it! - Was a bit hesitant because of lack of reviews but glad we took the chance. Had an excellent experience! Nori and Tom were fun and energetic hosts and the 3 hours flew by. Our Japanese is sorely lacking, but fortunately they both spoke good English. They had each cooking station perfectly prepared and we made (and ate) broth, cold Udon, sushi, Japanese omelette and dessert! Beer and sake are available to purchase if so desired. Made for a fun, educational and filling afternoon. A very worthwhile experience and really good value! As an added bonus it was very easy to find their place with clear direction and obvious signage.

Course is great, response rate not so great - The course was really good. Nothing to complain about. But unfortunately I didn't get any feedback from Nori about the pictures he took of us... I'm so sad about it because it was a birthday present and now we don't have any pictures of it.
