The first time I ordered, the store was very helpful and helped me change the time (due to the unexpected need to leave Japan in advance! The staff is also very good! The dishes are relatively simple and generally can handle! If you already have experience, you may think the price is better Than enough!

The teacher teaches carefully and pays attention to hygiene. Follow the teacher's steps to teach and get started soon. The teacher will also give recipes so that everyone can try to make their own later.

Super duper fun experience and had a really great time with the chefs who spoke good English. Travellers there were like-minded and open-minded to learning the Japanese culture of food. We had an absolutely amazing 3 hours learning the basics and of course, chomped down on our hand-made bento.

The Cooking Studio is in a historic house. Very friendly, patient and humorous tutor and owner! She teaches with step by step clear instruction with demonstration and background introduction, to make sure everyone’s final product is beautiful and well presented. Also, a great opportunity for cross-culture talk and idea-exchange experience with a group of people from around the world.

Joining left in the fall 2 years ago, the teacher is fluent in English and points out, and patiently guided the whole process, and basically achieved an 8-9% level. I will reserve the left time and let me try my gestures on the spot; Fortunately, it was send the wrong address of the classroom to our place, but it was so helpful and immediately helped me intercept the taxi to the address of Fanyanji. However, the Klook d group is basically a collection of bad family arrangements.🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️
