Full Description
Discover the rich history and culinary techniques behind Japan’s iconic bento box in this immersive morning cooking class in Kyoto.
The bento, a balanced and beautifully arranged takeaway meal, has been a part of Japanese culture since the Kamakura period (1185–1333). In this 2.5 to 3-hour session, you’ll explore the components that make a typical bento: sushi, miso soup, tempura, and teriyaki chicken.
After a brief introduction, you’ll receive your ingredients, apron, and utensils. Then, follow the instructors step-by-step as they guide you through the preparation process. Along the way, you’ll learn useful cooking techniques, knife skills, and the meaning behind traditional Japanese presentation.

“Nicely paced, helpful written recipes, interesting to smell, see, and use a variety of ingredients. A lot to make in just a few hours! Lunch was great, and they were able to give me a no-shellfish version of the meal. The two chefs were clear and nice to spend the morning with.”
