Haru Cooking Class

Thank you very much for finding our small cooking class in Kyoto, Japan. The class is not only about cooking, but learning about Japanese culture. We will do our best to share all that we can about our culture; we sincerely hope you enjoy it.

Taro is extremely knowledgeable about Japanese cuisine, history, culture, customs and traditions and is a great conversationalist. He lived in US and knows a lot about the Western culture. I know better understand Japanese culture and way of cooking. We made a few vegetarian dishes that were delicious and are so easy to make at home. I did a cooking class in Thailand, but I loved Taro's approach, menu and setting way better. I would highly recommend the class.

My daughter and I wanted to try cooking Japanese cuisine while in Tokyo and were told about Buddha Bellies. Unfortunately, we visited Japan during the recent typhoon which caused us to miss our scheduled date. Our gracious hosts allowed us to join another class and they honored our dish choice. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. Our Sukiyaki was amazing and we also got to make Udon noodles. It was fun meeting the other guests and hearing of their travels. We even received a great recommendation for buying Waygu beef in the San Francisco area. Great outing. Highly recommend.

Friendly, English fluent local Japanese ladies welcome you in half a day Japanese cooking class. Beautiful machiya traditional townhouse is also something you can definitely enjoy during your visit.

We did the Nishiki Market tour and Cooking Class. The hosts were excellent and friendly, able to answer all sorts of questions during the market tour, which felt relaxing and not rushed. The cooking class itself was also very simple and casual, and a great introduction to the preparation and use of ‘dashi’ as the base of a lot of Japanese cuisine. For occasional cooks it is a lovely way to broaden the repertoire. Recommended.

I'd like to tell you some of the dishes you can replicate easily with basic cooking science. I hope it'll be your memorable event in Japan. Let's cook together!

We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon with the delightful Yurico, who taught us to make delicious okonomiyaki from scratch. Her class is suitable for both beginners and also those with experience cooking. She explained each step very clearly and made the whole experience very worthwhile, and with her guidance our finished products came out perfectly. It was also nice to see the more residential area of Tokyo where she lives, after having already explored the city's main sites. We would definitely recommend this cooking class to anyone.
