Bento Box Cooking Class
Description
It’s hard to get more traditional than the Japanese bento box. In a way, it’s the perfect meal: it might include an egg roll, rice, pickled vegetables, breaded chicken and even nourishing miso soup, each in its own section of the bento box. The word is derived from an old Japanese word for convenience, and convenient this boxed meal certainly is. In this 3-hour cooking class in the center of Kyoto, learn the art of cooking up a bento box meal. Master chefs demonstrate and then turn the kitchen over to you. In the end, eat what you cook.

A wonderful experience! Very detailed and friendly instructors that care about educating on the traditions of Japanese cooking. Come hungry!
One of the best experiences of our Japan trip. The whole family loved both the meal and the food itself. As soon as we get home, we’re eager to get the right supplies to cook these meals for ourselves.
Fantasic! These are beginner recipes that give you a very good grasp on the necessities and essence of Japanese dishes! The instructors were awesome and ready to answer any questions, and help where needed.
Excellent experience doing the bento cooking class! The two teachers were very pleasant and patient with us. This class was perfect for a beginner cook and I feel confident in recreating these dishes at home. They didn't just explain how to make the dishes, they also explained about the ingredients and nuances between different types of miso and soy sauce which will help me recreate the dishes at home. There was so much food at the end, I couldn't finish it all! They were very accmodating with my food allergies, as well. After I learned about the dishes (miso soup for example), I realized that I could eat those dishes in other restaurants because they don't have the allergens in them that I can't have so this experience was even more valuable to me than just learning how to cook.
The bento box class was great! Super informative and fun! We will most likely try to recreate the recipes at home. Highly recommended 😊
The trainers spoke English well, were really friendly, knew what they were teaching and made the class fun. They were well organized. I would definitely take another cooking class with them.
Fantastic can only recommend! Really appreciated how experienced the cooks were, their attention to details- they made sure we had learned all we wanted to know! 3 hours long class for a very fair price, on a max of 8 people, so very cozy and friendly atmosphere. And ofc, you get to eat your food at the end ;)
Another great cooking class. The instructors are very good .You make you own lunch box (beto box). You make what ever goes in it and you will eat it with gusto.
A wonderful experience! One of the best Japanese cooking classes I’ve ever taken. You learn the fundamentals through simple, accessible recipes, using high-quality ingredients. Yuka and May are kind, supportive, and very professional. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to get started with Japanese cuisine!
Great class - very authentic and in a great location. Learned alot of tips and really enjoyed. Would have happier to be a bit more technical and use more Japanese ingredients.
