I made a cute one. - I am a Japanese resident of Tokyo. I participated in summer vacation memories with my 9-year-old child! The bento boxes are also very cute. It was a workshop designed to make even children look cute. I really enjoy interacting with people from overseas!!

Cutest class ever - We had such a wonderful experience at the bento box–making class! Everything was so well laid out and organized from the start, which made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. The hosts gave clear, easy-to-follow instructions and were warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout. We loved every part of it—preparing the food, learning new techniques, and of course, eating the beautiful bento boxes we created. The atmosphere was relaxed, fun, and inviting, making it a perfect activity for our family. This was not only a delicious meal but also a memorable cultural experience we’ll treasure. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Tokyo! Especially families!

Fun for the whole family - We had so much fun with our family. We brought our 3 kids, the youngest being 6 and they were so patient and made it fun and engaging for all of us. We walked away with adorable bento boxes and highly recommend this for your family!

The Most Fun You Could Have with Food - Kenji made the kawaii bento class informative and fun. The class, setup, and presentation was very organized. He was extremely patient and encouraged our inner most creativity. The bentos came out better than we could've imagined... so much so, that we didn't want to eat it. LoL This was probably the most fun we've had in any cooking class. Highly recommend this class! 👍🏼👍🏼

Fun, Food, and Japanese Culture in One Class - We had an amazing time at the Tokyo Cute Bento class! It was not only fun but also educational — we learned so much about the history of Japan and the origins of bento. The kids (girls 12yo and 5 yo) were absolutely thrilled with the experience and loved every moment of making their own cute pandas, and our eldest even made a Japanese omelet by herself! It was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Thank you, Kenji, for the wonderful time you gave our family. Highly recommend to families and anyone curious about Japanese culture and cuisine!

If you love Art and Food... - Kenji and Yuzu put on a great food art class. If you love creating art and Japanese food, this is a great place to do it. We created a panda and a dog bento box out of prepared ingredients and were provided the tools and guidance necessary. I think this experience is best for kids who like to create things, but I enjoyed it even as an adult. Very fun and very wonderful people who hosted it. Thank you Kenji and Yuzu for the experience.

Still worth it, fun - Friendly activity but a little long on the end, we left with our bentos that we ate at the hotel, a little too much food waste for our taste
