“It was a great experience! We had a very informative lesson on making Japanese sweets. Our teacher spoke excellent English, and the whole manufacturing process was clear and interesting.”

“Lovely experience. The instructor is young but very experienced. We successfully made the sweets and enjoyed the tea ritual.”

“We were the only foreigners, but the chef spoke basic English. We made two beautiful flower-shaped sweets from red bean paste — a very nice memory.”
