Bento Box Magic: A Hands-On Culinary Adventure in Tokyo!
Wow! What an amazing experience making Bento boxes. We brought a group of 30 students from America, and it was absolutely perfect. We prepared different elements of the Bento box together and then enjoyed the meal as a group. The food was delicious, and the staff was incredibly friendly. It was the perfect hands-on experience here in Tokyo!

Amazing way to end my trip
Absolutely splendid experience with Aki Sensei! It was just me in the class and Aki along with the other teachers made me feel so welcome. The bento lesson was so easy to understand and it was DELICIOUS! She even amended the ingredients to my taste ❤️✨✨

Adventures bento-boxing
Michi taught us the art of making cute bento boxes. They were so patient with us getting lost on the way to the class and were able to make the whole experience wonderful. We learned how to make rolled eggs and I can't wait to try them at home (in a round pan) - as an improvement to the omelettes that I normally make! The class was lots of fun, and a special shout out to their friendly neighbors who helped us eventually make it to class! It was especially fun to discover all the things we shared in common; from the places we lived to the majors we chose in school. What a small world it is after all. 🙂

Thank you so much for joining our class! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and we're happy to hear you had a great time. I love that you’re going to try making the rolled eggs at home—they’re such a fun dish! It was also really special to meet someone from where I used to live and share some stories. I hope the rest of your trip in Japan was just as enjoyable, and we’d love to welcome you back again in the future!

Super cute and delicious dragon cat
This is the first time to participate in making Japanese cartoons 😍 I didn't think of an unexpected simple, everyone made it very cute! No need to worry about yourself will not make it ugly! The taste is also delicious. The teacher is a Japanese mother, people are super good, very patient and also chat! It will not feel embarrassing ❤️ It is perfect for family with children or friends to experience!
