The shopkeepers were so friendly and joined in with the experience. We than went to Aki's home where we made a delicious dinner and sat together to eat it. Aki had taken great care as we had a coeliac and someone allergic to pink shellfish in our group. Aki's English was very good and she is a lovely warm and welcoming person. We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon."}, {"author_name" : "749carolinew", "rating" : 5, "body" : "We met Aki at her local shops and she took us around the market and supermarket pointing out ingredients we may not have known.

We went to the market with the chef and learned about Japanese food (culturally and ways to prepare dishes). She asked us our preferences for tastes in food and based our cooking experience upon what looked good and in season at the market. We went to her house (which felt very welcoming and hospitable). We learned how to cook lots of different Japanese dishes. We really enjoyed the chef's company. ATTENTION: Be sure you bring money for the bus during the transfer from the market to the chef's home."}, {"author_name" : "jesperstensballe", "rating" : 5, "body" : "I visited Aki in her beautiful house in Kyoto for a private cooking experience. Aki makes you fell at home right away and I enjoyed the evening so much. It felt like an evening together with friends. Futhermore Aki is a great cook and an excellent teacher and the food we cooked was so delicious. Not just Japanese food you know from the restaurants, but real Japanese home cooking, that I definitely will make again at home. I had a wonderful evening and an autentic experience and will certainly recommend it."}, {"author_name" : "narhai", "rating" : 5, "body" : "My best cooking class, one of my best experience in Japan!! Aki is a passioned cook with a lot of heart, she explains very well in an excellent English. Her place is amazing: traditional Japanese house with a beautiful garden in the very heart of Kyoto. The open kitchen on the living-room was easy to use and very convenient for all of us.We bought seasonal vegetables and fishes at the market and wee cooked dishes far from all the cliché we have on Japanese food, so interesting...We could met really nice people and share this moment together, thanks again for this unforgettable moment!!"}] }
