Sushi o cocina tradicional japonesa en una casa de Kyoto con Emika

she was a wonderful host and told us the traditional way to make sushi and miso soup. All the other sides and foods were extremely fresh, it was a great experience.

Emika was amazing. This was our first traveling spoon experience and we can't believe we haven't done this earlier. This is a must-have experience for any foodie; we not only cooked delicious local foods but just learned so much about the way locals approaching cooking and thinking about their food. We did a few obanzai dishes and had 2 main courses (okonomiyakis) - we didn't even know there was a Kyoto vs Osaka style so it was great making both. What was the differentiator was just all the small details you can't pick up on your own, like how most locals don't use peelers and prefer knife for peeling vegetables or even what are the locals real favorites vs touristy hot spots. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to go beyond eating and wants to take the next step in learning more on how local Kyoto folks approach their food. Emika was a 5-star host!

The Japanese cooking class experience went beyond either of our expectations! The meet-up instructions were clear, and the food was fresh, local (much of it picked from her garden that morning) and delicious! Emika was a wonderful host and teacher, going beyond showing us the steps and allowing us to prepare the meal, to understanding the ingredients in each recipe and to sharing her career journey and tips on Kyoto. We felt very welcome and comfortable in her home and I highly recommend adding a cooking class with Emika to your visit to Kyoto!

Emika was great and this was a fantastic experience. We cooked okonomiyaki, miso, onigori, side dishes and made matcha tea. I strongly recommend this activity for people visiting Kyoto.

My husband and I did a cooking class with Emika in her home in Kyoto. We had the best time making sushi, miso soup, a cucumber dish and a bitter melon dish. She grows all of her vegetables in a local garden and was very knowledgeable about the dishes. She also taught us how to make nigiri and explained all the fish we were eating. We also loved the matcha tea ceremony at the end. It was a really great experience and I would recommend it to everyone! She also gave us the sweetest origami box as a gift since I told her it was our honeymoon. Emika is the best!
