This cheerful and informative cooking class was a highlight of our trip to Tokyo. The class was held at Sato's home and he immediately made us feel like we were visiting an old friend as we learned about the ingredients, cooking methods and Japanese culture beyond cuisine - and at the end we got to have an amazing meal! Thank you for the wonderful experience, Sato, hope we get to cook together again another time.

We took a local train there from Shinjuku (was only a couple of stops) and used google maps to get there. It was a quick 5 minute walk and found it pretty easily. It has a small sign in the window of an otherwise ordinary looking apartment block. The almost 3 hours flew by. We were a family of 4 (children 9 and 11) and were the only participants. The kids participated in everything (including using the knives) and were very capable of making their own sushi platters. Our instructor spoke perfect English, gave us loads of information and made the class fun and interesting. It was rewarding to eat the yummy sushi we had made and we are definitely looking to make sushi at home in the near future. We have all the recipes and more. It was very good value for money. Thank you Cooking Sun Tokyo!!

Reviewed By johnlL6269GS - Hong Kong, China

This place lives up to its reviews. We found this bar online through searching around for interest bars in Tokyo. This place was highly rated, and since my fiancee and I were fans of drinking and magic, this seemed like a perfect fit. Long story short - it is a 3500 yen all-you-can-drink for 90 minutes menu with a live show and some close-up magic performances right at your table. This is the only option available, but it is well worth the money. The magicians are very entertaining and sufficiently technically skilled. The close up magic is particularly entertaining, since it is typically performed when there are multiple guests (hence a wide range of angles) and each magician has a different performance for variety. Overall, this is a great deal for its price and it had great entertainment, showmanship and customer service for its price. My fiancee and I were very impressed, and we would certainly come again.

Tokyo Free Guide

TOKYO FREE GUIDE, a nonprofit volunteer guiding service organization, was started in 2004 with the goal of helping overseas visitors experience Japanese culture and local customs. There are over 600 volunteer guide members who speak at least one language besides Japanese. (English, Spanish, Italian, French). Our guides are cheerful and helpful men and women, who are students, homemakers, retirees, office workers, etc. Most of them have lived and/or worked in or around Tokyo for a long time. Some of the guides may know everything about Japanese music, pop culture, anime, or the trendy shops, while others may have an extensive knowledge of Japanese food, history, culture, society, or religion. Our volunteer guides truly enjoy meeting people from different countries and cultures and sharing the fun of discovering Tokyo and its vicinity!
