Absolutely wonderful staff and the food was delicious!! I would go back again! The location was good, a bus from the station and a little walk.

Our class at Cooking Sun was really well run. Our teachers were great and kept everything and everyone on track, and the food was delicious. We made five dishes and enjoyed them all - with an optional sake at the end. We were given the recipes, so looking forward to trying these out again when I get home.

Would 100% recommend this cooking class if you are spending any time in Kyoto. The staff speaks great English and the whole cooking process is very easy understand. Plus, the food you make is delicious! If you are looking to engage with the culture or take home part of Japan with you, this experience is it!

We did the Afternoon Izakaya Class yesterday and it was a wonderful experience. The ladies teaching the class were great fun to spend the afternoon with; explaining every recipe and technique clearly. We made some amazing food which was a pleasure to eat during the class. My 15 year old enjoyed the class as much as I did- it will be one of the highlights of our trip. We had notified some dietary restrictions in advance and Cooking Sun were happy to accommodate this. Thank you, ladies for and amazing afternoon!

Very nice and well organized cooking class ! The recipies were simple and delicious, and we were given printed instructions to reproduce them at home !

The Izakaya cooking class was a great activity to do, especially as an escape from the summer heat. The cooking setup is ideal with each group of 2 people having their own workspace. The food was excellent with just the right split between pre-prepped stuff and hands-on stuff. The instructors spoke English well and it was interesting to learn about the unique Japanese ingredients used. Highly recommend. Our session consisted of two families, 8 people total, ranging in ages from about 10 to seniors and all had a good time.

A truly fabulous experience. Everything was so well organised. We cooked 6 delicious dishes (and ate them!) Everyone gets to do everything, not just watch! Perfect for teenagers. The ladies leading the afternoon were so friendly and spoke brilliant English. I couldn’t recommend it this highly enough. Enjoy

Great fun and a tasty meal too! My family really enjoyed our izakaya cooking class. The instructors were super cute and friendly and taught us the secrets of Japanese cooking. We had a great time and I would very much recommend this class to anyone wanting a hands on experience of Japanese style cooking! I loved that they had sake by the glass to go with our meal as well as some of the cooking tools for sale onsite. 5 star experience!

We had a great time during the Izakaya cooking class at Cooking Sun. It’s great that you get to cook a whole Japanese menu with all the secrets about ingredients and basic knowledge on the techniques. It’s an experience that I would recommend to anyone while in Kyoto.

This cooking class was so awesome! I have dietary restrictions and they made sure to accommodate me. I appreciate them going out of their way to ensure I had a great experience. The food was excellent! I'm surprised I was able to make such delicious but simple dishes. The guides were lovely and they helped us every step of the way. They were so kind and respectful. I had a great time and most importantly everything seemed sanitary! Highly recommend.

Our guide was really lovely and caring. Given this, her English was limited. This tour was not worth the price. Our first visit was to a supermarket that's visited by locals,something I could have googled myself and was not explicitly stated in the tour description. We did not get any historical explanations of what was eaten or the any of the sites we passed. For over $200+ this Was very expensive to visit super markets and buying small items of food along the way. All the foods that were purchased was simply not worth the price. I could have taken the train to the market and ordered the foods on my own. Again,the tour guide was very generous and nice. We enjoyed her company more.

Fantastic cooking class covering a wide range of Japanese dishes, from fresh-pickled cucumbers to dashi-sauced pasta to chicken katsu. I can’t wait to get home and make this menu for my friends!

We couldn’t have had a better experience! Class was very hands on but not too difficult for our 10 and 12 year old kids, who loved it. We learned new techniques and took home recipes we will definitely try on our own. Highly recommend.

Fantastic tour of a Japanese grocery store, the basement food court of Daimaru department store, a few local specialty food stores, and a walk through Nishiki market. Momo was full of information and great suggestions, and I had a taste of some fantastic food. The curry bun and sashimi at Nishiki market were my favorites. Thank you again to Momo and Cooking Sun!

Great communication from the provider followed up by our guide Aiko who sprinkled us with interesting details around the food habits, history and culture of Kyoto all with a smile that the rain did not dampen. We had delicious snacks and tastes, be bold and try the things on offer, the kelp and rice was amazing, as were the delicious Hiro beef skewers, melt in your mouth! So glad to have had this opportunity to dive into the detail of this city. Thankyou Sun Cooking
