Donburi Cooking Course and Nishiki Market Private Tour

We absolutely loved this experience! our tour guide was so insightful, especially in the market. she explained so many things we would have no other way of knowing. remember, this is a private tour for you and your group. so worth it! if you are in Kyoto this is a must!

This is a brilliant market & cooking tour. It is a private tour for your group too. We had Momo as our guide, she was absolutely lovely and kind and knowledgeable. She ensured we tasted everything at the market, and then took us back to the studio where she helped us cook some of the best homemade Japanese food we have had! We had a great time and strongly recommend this tour. Thanks for having us Momo!

I had so much fun walking through the market and getting to know my guide. I had even more fun during the cooking class. It was so cool to experience Japanese cooking culture with a local and getting to eat an amazing meal afterwards.

What a lovely experience! The guide was superb friendly and had great English. The food prep areas clean and organised. the experience and education was interesting and the food was tasty.

llocal guider, Momo, is nice and friendly. She explained the historic market and introduce d Kyoto tranditional foods. I learned how to cook a rolling egg and Oyakodon. Momo is a good cooking tutor as well, who transfered the cooking skill to easy action. Oh oh.. one more thing, the knife store. She guided me to knife store and explained the knife category. Thx for the activity...

Visit to the market and course given by a Japanese woman from Kyoto which is a plus. Good explanations.

Best cooking class we've ever done. Keiko was our guide through the markets and assisted us in picking our own ingredients (ingredients & cab fare included in the purchase of the experience). She was kind, wonderful & knowledgeable. The food we eventually put together was fresh and beautiful. Definitely do this if you are staying in Kyoto.

This was a fabulous experience. Our guide / instructor was lovely. The market is beautiful with lots of little shops showing their goods. Many of which are offering free samples to taste or try. You could wander around and try this without a guide but we definitely got more out of the experience having someone on hand who explained what we were looking at, acted as a translator, and told us a bit more about life in Kyoto. The cooking class itself was held in a clean and professional kitchen- well pitched for both adults and our 13 and 10 year olds and resulted in a very tasty lunch we then had in a private room.

The classroom is near the Nishiki Market. The teacher will take us to the market to buy the necessary ingredients, and then return to the classroom to cook. Mr. Keiko is kind and friendly, and has good English. There are basically three dishes to choose from. We chose tempura ravioli and parent-child ravioli. They are simple and easy to organize. Everyone who comes to Kyoto must participate in this event!

The location of the classroom is a bit secret, so take some time to find it. As soon as the teacher Yukari is waiting for me in the classroom, after discussing what to eat at noon, I will go to the nearby brocade market to buy ingredients. Yukari also very carefully and carefully introduced the entire market. History and food. After returning to the classroom, I also carefully taught each step, so that I successfully made delicious tempura rice.
