Explore the local neighborhood street market (Demachiyanagi Shoutengai) with your host Aki and discover everything from basic Japanese ingredients to high-quality, regional produce. You'll walk through the market together and pick out a few vegetables and ingredients that you will later use in your cooking class. Back home, you will join Aki for a hands-on cooking experience in her beautiful kitchen and learn to make authentic dishes from scratch! Aki will provide you with recipes in English and guide you through the cooking process as she tells you all you'd like to know about Japanese food and culture. Your home-style meal may include dishes such as the traditional Chikuzenni (a main of braised chicken and vegetables that originated from Kyushu), seasonal vegetable sides such as marinated spinach with sesame or burdock root, and miso soup. The cooking portion of your experience should last about an hour before you sit down to enjoy the meal.

Der Tag mit Aki war sehr schön. Es war ein wundervolles Erlebnis und wahnsinnig spannend. Wir haben uns sehr wohl und willkommen gefühlt. Es war eine sehr angenehme Atmosphäre. Aki und ihre Freundin haben uns beim Kochen unterstützt, spannende Informationen gegeben und wir haben das gemeinsame Essen zusammen mit Aki und ihrer Freundin sehr genossen. Wir haben die Zeit beim Kochen, Essen und Plaudern richtig vergessen. Hätten wir nicht auf die Uhr geschaut, wären wir vermutlich noch bis am späteren Nchmittag zusammengesessen. Es war auch interessant zu sehen, mit welchen Küchenutensilien sie arbeiten und welche Lebensmittel verwendet werden. Vielen Dank für den tollen Tag.

This class was very educational, personal, and fun. We went to the market with the chef and learned about Japanese food (culturally and ways to prepare dishes). She asked us our preferences for tastes in food and based our cooking experience upon what looked good and in season at the market. We went to her house (which felt very welcoming and hospitable). We learned how to cook lots of different Japanese dishes. We really enjoyed the chef's company. ATTENTION: Be sure you bring money for the bus during the transfer from the market to the chef's home.

My best cooking class, one of my best experience in Japan!! Aki is a passioned cook with a lot of heart, she explains very well in an excellent English. Her place is amazing: traditional Japanese house with a beautiful garden in the very heart of Kyoto. The open kitchen on the living-room was easy to use and very convenient for all of us. We bought seasonal vegetables and fishes at the market and wee cooked dishes far from all the cliché we have on Japanese food, so interesting... We could met really nice people and share this moment together, thanks again for this unforgettable moment!!
