the instructor spoke clear and well English, and she was very patient and thoughtful, making the session really fun and enjoyable for all of us! highly recommend if you’re looking for an English guided class
Kota was super nice and took time to explain the process to us☺️the experience was really relaxing and the final product turned out great! the workshop is located in a lovely little karaoke bar
it was such a nice workshop! Kori was a great teacher and the whole experience was really unique!
My teenage sons and I had a fun and relaxing time learning kintsugi. We enjoyed learning the history and philosophy behind it and the technique. We love our souvenirs! Would highly recommend this activity.
Loved this class and the final product! Price includes a plate with an option to upgrade if you'd like. It was very hands on and informative, from the history of kintsugi to where to buy materials today in my home country. I can't recommend this enough!
Cody, our host, was kind and fun during the Kintsugi workshop! We learned a bit more about Japanese culture and also took the opportunity to do the matcha workshop! It’s a worthwhile experience—give it a try!
We had a wonderful time with Kota! he was a very diligent and helpful instructor. he answered all our questions and gave history in this ancient art form. Absolute fun and you take your plate as a keepsake!
This was a class I took with my cousin! I wonder why there isn't a single review for such a great class 😢. It was an incredibly informative experience where I learned about Japan's craftsmanship. Through this experience, I was able to better understand Japan as a country, particularly the concept of perfection within imperfection. I had a very enjoyable and beneficial class with the teacher, who spoke fluent English and Japanese and loves Korea. If I come with friends next time, I'll definitely take this class again. Located near Shibuya Scramble Crossing, it was a relaxing and fun experience on a hot summer day, a light 1-hour course where I could enjoy pleasant conversation with the teacher and focus while taking a break. Thank you for the kind explanations and patience. I think this experience would be beneficial for everyone aged elementary school and up. This experience is located on the 3rd floor. The basic plate provided is small, so paying extra for a larger plate is a bit of an effort, but the satisfaction is much greater. They also mentioned a matcha class, which I definitely want to take next time. Thank you to the witty, kind, and friendly teacher. See you again next time!!
This was my first time trying a Kintsugi handicraft class. Kira was an extremely patient instructor, carefully guiding every step of the process, and I was so happy to take part in it. Nearby, other foreigners were participating in a matcha class. This place is also a bar, and I even tried making my own matcha beer. Such a great time!
Cody was an excellent instructor who was very patient with our learning. the class was informative, enjoyable, and engaging. we are so happy with our plates!!
