Overview

This is more than a cooking class—it's an opportunity to experience everyday life in Kyoto through its food, culture, and traditions. In a private lesson at a traditional Kyoto townhouse, you'll prepare a homemade Japanese bento using Kyoto's famous underground spring water. Learn authentic techniques for making fluffy onigiri, dashimaki tamago, and seasonal side dishes that you can recreate at home. After cooking, wrap your bento in bamboo leaves and, weather permitting, enjoy it on a peaceful picnic by the Kamo River, followed by a casual matcha experience. Because every class is private, the menu can be customized with advance notice, creating a relaxed and personal experience that goes beyond simply following recipes.
