What to do and see in Kyoto, Kinki: The Best Cooking Classes

May 21, 2021 Janette Largent

The shrines and temples of Kyoto offer a rare link between modern life in the city and its very ancient past. The Shimogamo Shrine dates to the 6th century and seems suspended in time, its serenity and spiritual power still palpable. Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine, then see the life-sized Thousand Armed Kannon statues of Sanjūsangen-dō. Enjoy traditional geisha performances, then savor a tranquil meal at a restaurant overlooking the Kamo River.

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.

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.
