Reviews

I visited Kyoto Green Cuisine to learn about making tempura. They speak English and provide a written recipe, so you can focus on the fun of making everything. My favorite part of the experience was plating everything, 12 different things, and - of course- eating it all.(Listed on Google map)

Lovely Japanese couple and amazing cooking experience! Satoru san and Akiko san are both so friendly and welcoming. They taught me so much about cooking rice, tempura and miso soup! They prepare so well in advance- the ingredients, the flow, the utensils, so that you can cook everything within a limited time. Of course the best part was just chatting with them and learning about Japanese culture, food, and people. Loved this experience!! Would highly recommend anyone looking for a local cooking experience in Kyoto near Arashiyama.(Listed on TripAdvisor)

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.
