Cute Bento is a must!

Such a great experience for all ages! We went with a child,teenagers and an adult and we all loved the experience. The chefs were so nice and even waited for us to start the class. We were 15 minutes late! I highly recommend Cute Bento when in Tokyo.

Amazing and cute experience

Amazing work and experience. Very kind and polite!! :D. We love the cute aprons we weared during the workshop, and everyone was passionate about making a cute bento lunch. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and no previous cooking experience is required which makes this ideal for everyone who wants to try making a cute bento lunch.

Wonderful and cute bento making class!

We had a great time learning how to make cute bento! Our instructor was patient and funny. Our bento looked cute and tasted great in the end! We made panda bento, but they gave us a choice of a cute frog or a cute dog. Make sure you check the messages from the vendor before the class so you can choose. I missed the message and we ended up with a random choice, but no regrets as the panda were really cute! The nearby Hie Shrine was also a nice visit afterwards.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed making and eating your cute panda bentos 😊 We usually ask guests to choose their character through a message before the class, so thank you for mentioning this helpful tip for future guests! We’re also glad you enjoyed visiting the nearby Hie Shrine afterward. Thank you again, and we hope to welcome you back someday! 🍱✨

Great multi-generational experience

This was such a fun experience, especially as we had multi-generational travelers with us. We were a party of 6, and it was a private class which made it super amazing! Kenji was very accommodating as we needed to change our date/time and he suggested another location so we could fit it into our itinerary. Highly recommend!!!

Operator response

A Perfect Activity For Families When Visiting Tokyo!

I did this with my 3 kids- ages 8, 8, and 16, and they all loved it. They got to pick their animal and the instructions were very simple to follow. The staff was so kind and helped the kids make their food art. The kids are already talking about making these for their school lunch next year! This was such a fun couple of hours- 10/10 recommend!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re really happy to hear that all three of your children enjoyed making their own animal bento 😊 We try to make the instructions easy to follow while giving everyone the freedom to create their own unique food art. It’s especially exciting to hear they’re already planning to make bento for their school lunches! Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to see your family again someday! 🍱✨
