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.

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!!!

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

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! 🍱✨

Halal-friendly! Tell kenji in advance and you’ll make delicious bento boxes!

Kenji is a great teacher and was very patient with us! We made super cute panda bento boxes for the first time and they turned out great! I told kenji super last minute that I have dietary restrictions cause of religious purposes and he accommodated! Thank you so much!
