So much fun! Love the pictures

This was such an awesome experience! We have three teenage boys, and all five of us loved it. They even took photos and videos so that you could enjoy the activity and not have to stop to take pictures, and then send it to you afterwards for free The chefs and the translator were so nice and so very helpful and truly seem to love what they do. We highly recommend this activity.!

Unique Japanese experience

What a wonderful experience. Learning from a Japanese Chef with and English speaking tour guide made it a unique and original experience. From making your own noodles, to filling and folding your own Gyoza. Thank you so much.
