we got a bit lost getting there. my GPS took us to another location with the same address so if Google maps does it to you too the place is called Yamato Sample Factory 3rd Craft. we were an hour late but they still let us make our Goodies! the host spoke English but if you know a little Japanese he's got jokes, which was a plus! and if you have time after to explore the area. he will draw you a map of some places to visit and eat!! and we got little Keychain too!!
Fantastic experience! I want to go back again for all of the other food classes! Ryou was so kind and helpful as a teacher! He was very good with his English and when he needed to, used Google translate which worked perfectly! I bought some other food sample products as well! Try out this place! It is right next to a park and has signage for the shop.
incredible experience! we got a little lost and a very kind local woman asked if we needed help and actually walked us to the location! the food sample owner is so sweet and we absolutely loved talking with him. I made the tart keychain and its absolutely adorable. I even bought some sushi earrings while there cause I just had an amazing time. the owner was so sweet that he actually hand drew a map to a local area with food and shopping. we followed his directions and had an amazing time! it's a great area with almost no foreigners so it's truly an authentic Tokyo experience. 10/10 do it and go find the area around sunshine city shopping, you won't regret it.
Loved this workshop! The owner was so nice and welcoming. we got a short explanation about the history of fake food and about the materials being used. The instructions were clear and we had a lovely time! It’s located in a very quiet neighborhood which was very interesting to visit.
Another wonderful experience here. My son and I liked it so much last year that we came back to do it again this year!

We had a wonderful time here! We are primarily English speaking tourists and made both the parfait and the ramen. Our teacher was patient and spoke English very well, and was energetic and happy to share his craft with us. I would highly recommend this experience for any visitors to Japan. Even the journey to the place was a blast, as it is located outside the heart of the city and is more quiet and residential. We walked around the neighborhood and went to some local shops that we otherwise would have missed out on. Thank you for this wonderful experience!
We had an amazing experience here! This is a fun and unique activity from a family business with interesting history! Instructors were not completely fluent i english, but still very easy to understand. Very kind, friendly snd knowledgeable instructors. This is the perfect activity if you want a unique souvenir!
Extremely fun and cute activity! The instructor was patient with us and knowledgeable about food sample making. Not only will you bring home the food u made, but you get an additional keychain as well! a must-do activity in Tokyo!
