Small-Group Wagyu Beef and Kaiseki Ryouri Tokyo Cooking Class

This class was definitely one of the best experiences of our trip. Hidemi and Miki went over everything from the included recipe guide step by step and made it really simple. The food was delicious and we already have plans to cook it again at home. This is one thing that you have to do while in Japan. One thing to make note of is that the location is very non-descript so make sure you calculate in extra time just in case you get lost getting there.

We enjoyed the cooking lesson and learned new things. The instruction was very organized, comprehensive and understandable. Will highly recommend it. I would only suggest that photos of the location, the entrance door, floor, etc. were either posted or mailed out to the guest and an english sign on the door would not hurt either, so it would be easier to find the place.

The place is not to easy to find but the people are really nice and the food you prepare absolute delicious.

The location was a little hard to find, as there was not much signage outside but we eventually found it. The class itself was taught by two main teachers and they were both fun, although Maiko really shined. We started with the dashi stock and created about 6 dishes. We really enjoyed our class and loved how the cooking was so simple but SO delicious.

We thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class. Creating a five course traditional Japanese meal seemed like quite an undertaking though our instructors made it effortless. They were so patient in explaining many Japanese ingredients, cooking techniques and traditions. From soup, to Japanese omelets, Wagu sukiyaki, vegetables, rice and mochi. All of the ingredients were fresh, tasty and the class well organized. I’d highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning the ways of Japanese cuisine. A real delight.

I never write reviews, however, I had to come on and sing the praises of Aya S and the amazing cooking class we had at Cooking Sun. We happened to come on a day with a small group so it ended 45 minutes early, which was really nice to have more time for the day! Aya S. was a fantastic chef. She was professional, informative, friendly, and fun! She explained each dish and ingredients well even how some ingredients varied in different regions of Japan. It was truly an authentic cuisine experience. My Japanese tour guide was with me and these were dishes she eats on a regular basis. I was so pleased and excited to make these dishes back home, that I went out after the class and purchased a Japanese omelet pan and the ridged mortar and pestal bowl used to grind the sesame seeds for one dish. I love them both! The dishes were all delicious. It was a great way to start my trip to Tokyo and I would highly recommend it to everyone!

Cooking Sun was perfect, we has such a fun group and an amazing time. The instructions were very easy to follow and the food was delicious! I wish we would have taken the class earlier in our trip as we also learned about Japanese culture and etiquette. If you have a morning to spare and want to be able to take some of Tokyo cooking home with you then take this class, you won't regret it!

When I have time I love to cook, and learning how to cook authentic Japanese food was one of the highlights of our trip. Not only is Japanese culture so intriguing, but their food is my absolute favorite, I could eat it everyday. Weve been home for a few days now and Ive been cooking Japanese food since! The class was a short walk from the train station in a nice neighborhood area. The cooking studio is gorgeous, with all the items necessary. We removed our shoes before we came in, and they gave us nice house slippers to wear. The lesson was more simple than I expected and recipes were very do-a-ble. I made all the recipes when I got home. Everything was very flavorful. Showing how the food items look before it was prepared helps too, so that when I went to the store I knew what to look for. The instructors were very welcoming, kind and helpful. I love that they taught us some Japanese words also. I was happy I got to purchase some items at the studio as well. I would recommend this experience and next time Id love to take the sushi class!

This activity was really one of the highlights of our trip the host's introduction to Japanese food and kaseiki-style cooking was fun, delicious very delicious! And generous amounts of food! and a very reasonable price, especially in comparison to most other activities in Tokyo! We would highly recommend this to any foodies travelling to Tokyo.

Fun and organized class that had us cook 9 dishes from scratch in the span of under 3 hours. It honestly didn't feel that long of a class or that hard to cook all these dishes simultaneously, but I guess that's indicative of Instructor Aya's teaching ability :
