Overview

Join a hands-on Japanese cooking experience with instructor Toshiko Shoshihara, who has many years of experience teaching traditional home cooking. In the cozy Shuhari townhouse, guests prepare a classic Japanese bento using Kyoto’s pure underground spring water. You will learn to make onigiri rice balls, dashimaki tamago, spinach goma-ae, and other seasonal side dishes that create a balanced meal.

The class combines demonstrations with practical cooking, so you can learn authentic techniques while preparing the dishes yourself. After cooking, enjoy your handmade bento as a relaxing picnic by the Kamo River. The experience ends with a casual outdoor matcha moment made with fresh shrine water.

As this is a private session, the menu may be adjusted with advance notice. If there are specific dishes you would like to learn, please let us know in advance and we will do our best to accommodate your request. A personal and memorable way to discover Japanese cuisine in Kyoto.

Activity itinerary

Experience authentic Japanese home cooking in a private setting inside a traditional Kyoto machiya. This activity is completely private and designed exclusively for you and your group. After meeting at the machiya, your instructor Toshiko will guide you step by step through making a classic Japanese bento. You will cook rice using Kyoto’s underground spring water and learn to prepare onigiri, dashimaki tamago, and seasonal side dishes. This is a relaxed, hands-on experience where you can ask questions and learn at your own pace. The menu can be adjusted to match your interests or dietary needs whenever possible. Once your bento is ready, take it to the nearby Kamo River for a peaceful picnic. After your meal, enjoy a simple and casual matcha tea experience. If the weather is not suitable for an outdoor picnic, you can enjoy your bento comfortably inside the townhouse instead. This is a private and personal experience. Adjustments for dietary restrictions or simple requests can be accommodated whenever possible.
