My husband and I love taking cooking classes, so when we found out about Simply Oishii on a recent visit to Tokyo, we signed ourselves and two friends up for the Japanese Style Cocktail Party class. It was truly an amazing experience! Miyuki was so warm and friendly that she made us all feel right at home from the moment we stepped in the door of her lovely home. Miyuki speaks fluent English and is an excellent teacher. She'd first show us how to do something then would help us as we tried it ourselves. She also shared lots of "tips and tricks," all of which were included in her wonderful recipe book so we didn't have to scramble to take notes as she talked. The end result - 5 incredible cocktail food dishes that were both beautiful to look at and super tasty. And the recipes were easy enough that we've been able to make them again now that we're back home. Thank you, Miyuki, for a great class and a great experience. We had such fun and we recommend your class to everyone who visits Tokyo!

The tour was just like a live stream. You will get on a rickshaw and your friendly driver will show you around in Kyoto. After the ride, your guide will walk with you and take you to the beautiful bamboo forest and Tenruji Temple. You will also meet monkeys at the park in Iwatayama! The only thing I was disappointed about was I couldn't taste the Shojin Ryori or Buddhist vegetarian meal that our guide Mickey-san showed and explained. I should be on the real tour!

Fabulous Ramen cooking class with my friends! Mi-wa makes it super easy to learn. I now feel confident I can make Japanese Ramen like I find it in many great restaurants. With the right sauces and toppings, It's very easy. We scheduled a private class with 4 people and then had a delicious lunch of gyoza, Ramen made with chicken broth and topped with stewed pork shoulder, corn, soft boiled egg, and seaweed. I topped mine with chili oil. Highly recommend her classes to learn authentic Japanese food.

While we were sad to have to cancel our July trip to Japan due to the pandemic, we found the process of working with Japan Awaits to be easy and efficient. I can't speak to the full experience since we weren't able to go, but filling out the form and our communication with the company was no problem. And their prompt and courteous response to our request for a refund speaks to their professionalism. We will definitely come back to ask for their help in procuring tickets to the Studio Ghibli Museum when we do finally make it to Japan! Fingers crossed for next summer.
