Traveller reviews
Satoko San is one of the sweetest teachers to learn how to make mochi with. She is very knowledgeable with the culture and history of mochi making, and you can she is very passionate about it. The class itself was so incredibly fun and joyful, and I can honestly say it was one of the top experiences I had in Japan. You make lots and eats lots. 10/10 for everything, I would recommend to all my friends!!
Sokoto was the best host!! Learnt so much and made the most delicious mochi!!
This was my first activity in Tokyo, and honestly? Such a perfect way to start the trip. Satoko san was an incredible teacher. Kind, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what she does. She didn’t just show us how to make mochi; she walked us through the history, the traditions, and why mochi holds such an important place in Japanese culture. The experience felt personal, relaxed, and deeply cultural, not rushed or touristy. You leave not only with delicious mochi in your belly, but with a real appreciation for the craft and its meaning. If you’re planning a trip to Japan, I highly recommend adding a mochi-making class to your itinerary. It’s hands-on, meaningful, and a beautiful introduction to Japan.
Satoko was a brilliant host. She gave us an overview of mochi; the different types, how they are made, and woven into Japanese celebrations - which was really interesting. She had perfect english which made it very easy to chat, while we tried out different ways of making mochi and obviously tasting it all at the end. We had our class in Satoko’s home, which made it really special. A real highlight of our 4 week trip to Japan.
Mochi making class was amazing! Satoko explained and demonstrated everything very well! Everything tasted good! It was a great experience learning about the whole mochi making process.
I had fun making Mochi with Satoko San. The Mochi was very delicious and the class was very informative 10/10 I would definitely recommend.
We had an amazing experience with Satoko. Her class is exceptionally well delivered and she provided a great background on the cultural significance of mochi as well as the techniques to make it. She went over and beyond to make it a memorable experience and I will be recommending this class to any friends visiting Tokyo!
Satoko was very knowledgeable well orchestrated in her class. She was also exceedingly patient. The value of her class can’t be matched, with the amount I learned. A personal thanks to her, if you’re on the fence, please don’t hesitate
