The cooking class with Satoru and Akiko was one of the highlights of our trip! We learned -step by step - how to make two different types of ramen and also the best Gyozas we have had in Japan. We were able to do most things ourselves!! We were also given the recipes typed out to take home. It was a great half-day, because we had the great cooking lesson and then were able to spend some time in the beautiful area where they live: Arashiyama. Everything was easy, to get there and Akiko was waiting for us at the station. Very, very recommended!!

Taking Satoru's cooking class in Kyoto was an absolute highlight of my trip! We learned to make two types of ramen from scratch along with delicious gyozas, and the whole experience was hands-on, interactive, and full of laughs. Satoru made everything easy to follow while keeping the atmosphere light and super fun. Highly recommend this class for anyone looking for a memorable and tasty Kyoto experience!

About us
After graduating from Kyoto Culinary Institute, I gained experience as a vegetable wholesaler at the Kyoto Central Market and have worked in restaurants in Kyoto for over 25 years. I have lived in Arashiyama for 10 years and used to grow vegetables in the neighborhood. I am particular about ingredients in my cooking and will pass on my passion for making the most of local and seasonal vegetables.

I was born and raised in this area and still live locally. I love the nature here and am always healed. I also enjoy walking with my dog, Sasuke, in the nearby park. I especially love vegetables, and I try to eat a healthy diet by incorporating them into various dishes at home. This year marks my 10th year working as a home care worker. Through my work as a caregiver, I support the lives of many people and find it rewarding on a daily basis.
