Your group only — no strangers, no shared sessions.
This is our home in Arashiyama, Kyoto. When you are here, it is yours for the day. We cook together, eat together, and talk — about food, about Japan, about whatever comes up.
Your hosts are Satoru, a professional chef with over 30 years of experience, and Akiko, a fluent English speaker. Guests have come to us from more than 20 countries. Some are experienced cooks. Some have never held a Japanese knife. Some are vegan and have spent their entire trip anxious about what is in their food.
We have learned to read the room. And we genuinely enjoy it.
One group. Maximum 4 guests. Every time.
