Reviews
We had a great experience!! Both a warm and cozy environment at the hosts house, and really, really delicious food… beyond expectation!! Can only super recommend it! Specially if you look for a real not so commercial and not crowded experience in Kyoto! Good to combine it with the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest Bamboo experience as it is close to it!

Amazing cooking class with hospitable host!
Really enjoyed my cooking class with Satoru and Akiko! They were great with communication before, at pickup and during the class. They were both incredibly patient during the class and really took the time to explain each step in detail. I never felt rushed.
You can tell as you are cooking that they have a lot of experience making these dishes. In my case, sushi and tempura.
I felt that I had a great authentic experience cooking with locals. If I can even go further, it was like cooking with a friend.

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.
