Tour privado por el mercado de Sapporo y clase de cocina Hokkaido con Kanae

Kanae was an incredible guide to the markets of Sapporo, both the ones the locals use and the ones invaded by tourists. She shared multiple ways to take samples of certain foods together with what specific foods Hokkaido was known for. The second part of this adventure was cooking with her in her home. I learned so much about Japanese culture, cuisine, and customs. It was an amazing and most memorable day of learning and of our time in Japan!

Hello! I’m a traveler from South Korea. I had always wanted to learn authentic Japanese home cooking, so I searched for cooking classes in Sapporo. I found this class through an AI recommendation, and after reading so many wonderful reviews, I decided to book it. What really stood out to me was that, unlike other classes, this one included a visit to a local market, which made the experience even more special. The instructor spoke both Japanese and English very well, so communication was smooth and comfortable throughout the entire experience. At the market, she recommended products that locals actually use. If I had visited the market on my own as a tourist, I probably would have ended up buying a few disappointing souvenirs. Instead, every single item she recommended turned out to be amazing! I brought them back to Korea, shared them with my family and friends, and even recreated the dishes at home. Everything was a huge success! Before the class, she asked what I wanted to learn, so I was able to cook the exact Japanese dishes I had hoped to make. I also learned a lot about Japanese seasonings, cooking utensils, and ingredients she uses in her own kitchen. Those little tips made the class even more valuable. Most importantly, she was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. We had great conversations throughout the class, and she explained every step so clearly that I felt completely comfortable from beginning to end. I originally thought this was simply a small-group class, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it’s actually one private booking per session. That made the experience even more personal and enjoyable. This time I joined by myself, but next time I’d love to come back with my friends or family. I truly think many Korean travelers would love this class if they knew about it. Hopefully I’ll have the chance to visit again before it becomes even more popular! Thank you so much for giving me one of the most memorable experiences of my trip to Sapporo. I’ll never forget it! 안녕하세요! 저는 한국에서 온 여행객입니다. 일본에서 현지 요리를 직접 배워보고 싶어서 여러 클래스를 찾아보던 중 AI 추천을 통해 이 클래스를 알게 되었고, 리뷰가 너무 좋아 예약하게 되었습니다. 특히 다른 클래스와 달리 로컬 시장을 함께 둘러볼 수 있다는 점이 가장 큰 매력이었어요. 선생님께서는 일본어는 물론 영어도 정말 잘하셔서 소통하는 데 전혀 어려움이 없었습니다. 시장에서는 여행객인 제가 혼자였다면 절대 고르지 못했을 좋은 제품들만 추천해 주셨는데, 한국에 가져와 가족과 친구들에게 선물도 하고 직접 요리도 해 먹었는데 모두 정말 만족스러웠습니다. 실패한 제품이 하나도 없어서 더욱 감사했어요. 😊 또 수업 전에 어떤 요리를 배우고 싶은지 미리 물어봐 주셔서 꼭 배우고 싶었던 일본 요리를 직접 만들어 볼 수 있었습니다. 요리 과정뿐만 아니라 평소 사용하시는 조리도구와 조미료, 일본 식재료에 대한 설명도 정말 유익했고, 한국에서는 쉽게 접하기 어려운 정보라 더욱 흥미로웠습니다. 무엇보다 수업 내내 편안한 분위기에서 즐겁게 대화해 주시고, 하나하나 친절하게 알려주셔서 정말 행복한 시간이었습니다. 처음에는 소수 인원으로 진행되는 클래스인 줄만 알았는데, 한 팀만 진행하는 완전한 프라이빗 클래스여서 더욱 만족스러웠습니다. 이번에는 혼자 참여했지만 다음에는 꼭 친구들이나 가족과 함께 다시 오고 싶어요. 한국에도 이런 클래스를 알게 된다면 정말 많은 분들이 찾아오실 것 같습니다. 더 유명해지기 전에 저도 다시 한 번 레슨을 받고 싶네요. 😊 덕분에 삿포로 여행에서 가장 특별하고 오래 기억에 남을 추억을 만들었습니다. 진심으로 감사드립니다, 선생님!

Kanae was lovely. She was kind enough to modify the menu at the very last minute to avoid fish, even though I failed to let her know in advance as I should. She was gracious to teach us in her home, was very patient with two teenage boys, and showed us some lovely traditional dishes. The pickup instructions were also very clear and easy.

Kanae-San took me through several small local markets, full of fresh fish and fruit/veggies, as well as spices . Then we cooked a delicious meal in her home. She was a lovely host! Thank you so much!

What a lovely morning I had with Kanae both shopping and preparing our lunch together. The food was delicious as well as nutritious. I would recommend this tour to anyone in the Sapporo area who likes to cook and learn more about the food history of this area.

Kanae is a great host and wonderful conversationalist. The soup curry we cooked together was delicious as well. The whole experience really was a highlight of my trip, and I’d recommend it to anyone considering doing a cooking class with a local guide.

My wife and I had the opertunity to join Kanae for her market tour and cooking class. From the moment she picked us up to the drive back to the station it was a time filled with joy and laughter. Her English was amazing and she was full of humor and good information. The meal was amazing and tasty, the time could not have been better spent. Five stars!

We joined Kanae to browse a market. We had fun looking at all the food (mostly fish) and asking questions. Kanae bought some fish and then took us to her house, a beautiful place on the edge of the mountain and we cooked lunch together. Lovely!

Mrs. Kanae welcomed us and took us to the local market where we had the chance to witness the locals selling fish and vegetables. She then took us to her lovely house and welcomed us in. Throughout the whole experience Kanae has been nothing but delightful to us. She modified the menu because my partner does not eat meat and she has responded to all our numerous questions on Japanese cuisine and culture. She enlightened me on the four basic pillars of Japanese cooking and i cannot be anything but deeply thankful to her for the time she shared with us. Grazie mille di cuore Kanae-san! Hope to see you again

Loved our cooking class with Kanae in her beautiful home surrounded by mountains and falling snow. We were collected at the meeting point by Kanae and then driven first the local fish and food markets where we purchased our supplies for lunch. Surprisingly, a tranquil and quiet experience wandering through the market places. The fish markets back home where I come from are a bustling and stinky affair, but not here. Everything is beautifully presented , pristinely clean and calm. Then onto lunch. Kanae will teach you how to cook whatever you like and I had requested a seafood dish which turned out to be a lip smacking, umumsi bomb of home style salmon, spinach, miso and dashi. Will be cooking this at home. We loved our day! Highly recommend this activity. Thank you Kanae for a great day!!!!
