We very much enjoyed our experience making food samples at Yamato Food Samples in Ikebukuro. Staff was very patient with us. It was a fun experience.

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Fun, quick, and you get a lovely souvenir!

Reviewed by: Max, 2023/03/26

Great little shop! The instructor was very kind, introduced us to the history of samples, thoroughly described all the materials and techniques and guided us through making our sample. We were very happy with the experience and the resulting souvenir! Note that our instructor mostly spoke in Japanese, which was Ok with us, but I believe there are other employees who speak English.

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Japanese Ramen Making Experience

Reviewed by: Marisa, 2023/03/26

Signed the husband up for this experience as he really enjoys ramen! He was a perfect fit for this class since the laying of the ramen noodles, and particular placement of the garnishes are more meticulous. The instructor was very thorough in explaining the materials we would be using, had an example placed next to you on the table so you understood how it would look like. The place is very neat and clean and he really cheers you along as your working on your ramen making.

Looking forward to attending again when back in Tokyo!

You made the ramen very well.
Sweets are also popular, so please try them next time.

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Fun Family Experience!

Reviewed by: Marisa, 2023/03/26

I’ve grown up seeing these food displays outside of Japanese restaurants, but never knew how they were made. Found out about this experience from another family traveling through Tokyo and it looked like fun. It was much more fun than expected but definitely not as easy as it looks. Definitely need to channel your creative side.

We hope to do this again the next time we’re in Japan and attempt the tempura experience!

Comments from activity operators

Thank you for visiting us.

Food samples may be rare for overseas customers.

I think you did a very good job.By all means, please try the tempura and lettuce experience next time.

Wonderful Experience

Reviewed by: Rawa Al-Kalbani, 2023/03/19

Great overall experience. The instructor was very friendly and polite. He explained every step of the process and gave some background information on plastic food samples. The instructor was patient and we also had a good chat. The atmosphere was relaxed. I made a bowl of ramen and got it packaged neatly for me to take home. Would recommend this experience!

若干入り口は分かりづらいですが、お店の方が立っているのでさほど問題ないと思います。
体験は他のグループの方と一緒でしたが、机は別々でした。
感染対策で開けている?窓からは隅田川も見え、とても心地がいいです。
練習用グラスで練習してから自分のグラスを削るので、失敗もしにくいと思います。

マイ切子グラス・最高です⭐︎

Reviewed by: chako, 2023/03/07

平日13:00の回に参加しました。
江戸切子は初めてでしたが、すっごく楽しかったです!机の上にたくさんのグラス(見本)が置いてあり、形や色・デザインなどを最初に選びます。カラーグラスは+料金がかかりますが、基本グラスはお値段そのままです。
先生が丁寧に削り方をレクチャーしてくれて、その後に各自練習ができるので、初めてでも心配ありません。柄も目安になる線を引いてもらえるので、全部ひとりで作成するのではないので大丈夫です。
今回体験してみて、職人さんの技のすごさを改めて実感しました。すごく丁寧に作られているのだと思いました。とはいえ、自分で削ったグラスも味があって、私は大満足です。早速、八海山を購入して、美味しく日本酒を頂きました。
参加者は5名で、部屋はこじんまりとしていましたが、皆さんマスク着用で、それぞれ楽しんでいるように見えました。1階にお店があります。

初!江戸切子

Reviewed by: アルバトロス, 2023/03/06

場所が見つけづらい所もありますが、
丁寧なレクチャーと、自主性を重んじた体験は、思い出に残ること間違いない。
自分の作成されたものが、思い出の物として残ることが何よりも嬉しい。
デザインは自由なので、意外にも子どもの方が発想力に翔んで傑作が出来るかも。

Edo Kiriko Glass Cutting Experience in Asakusa

A very valuable experience in Tokyo

Reviewed by: Venus Yip, 2023/02/28

This is the second time I attended an Edo Kiriko glass cutting class here because I like the art very much! The Japanese teacher is very patient and fluent in English. Glass cutting is not easy, requires very stable hands and super attentive! Finally I made a very beautiful glassware. Thank you and for sure I’ll come again!

夢の江戸切子体験

Reviewed by: きよごんた, 2023/02/20

2月19日に江戸切子体験に行ってきました。
浅草駅からすぐなのでアクセスも良いですし、体験料金も良心的です。
江戸切子体験のグラス選びですが、初心者は色の濃いグラスは不向きとの事です。
ですが、どうしても赤か青のグラスが欲しかったので、今回は青にしました。
最初に練習用グラスで削りの練習をやらせてくれましたので、いきなり本番ではなく、心の準備は出来ました。
ですが、選んだ柄によっては時間がかかりますので、体験時間内に終わらず焦ります。
希望としては、次の体験の方が来るまでの余裕の時間をもう少し長く設けて欲しいと思いました。
焦って作ったグラスですが、自分で初めて作ったので愛着がわきます。
今回の出来が最悪でしたので2回うちにリベンジ行きます!
ありがとうございました。

  • 初体験!江戸切子!

Tokyo Kintsugi Workshop: Simple Gold Repair Class near Shin Koenji

Unbelievably amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Riccardo, 2023/01/29

Really recommended experience for anyone looking to take a deep breath in the traditional Japanese arts! Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro are very kind and welcoming, and work hard to make you feel comfortable. They're also incredibly talented at kintsugi, and are excellent at showing beginners how to get started.
The tea and sweets make you feel like at your (japanese) home!

Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro were great hosts! I had a lot of fun. They taught us the basics of kintsugi and showed us what materials we needed if we wanted to do it on our own. They are super knowledgeable about ceramics and pottery of all kinds as well and are eager to answer any questions you have. I cant wait to get home and break my own cups and bowls.

まずグラスを選び、削り方の練習をしました。その後初心者向けのデザインから選んで、下書きをしてグラスを削りました。見本のようには削れませんでしたが、結構うまくできたと思います。失敗してもアドバイスがもらえるので、自分なりに工夫してできました。難しい線を削るのに失敗した方は、スタッフの方に修正してもらってました。
スタッフの方の説明がわかりやすく、すぐできました。また、外国人もいましたが、英語で説明されていたので、どなたでも体験できます。
今回は体験料に含まれている無色透明のグラスでやりましたが、今度は有料の色付きグラスでやってみたいです。
部屋があまり広くないので、マスクは着用した方が良いです。

Reviewed by: Amber, 2022/11/01

Excellent staff who spoke good English. The craft itself is interesting and intricate, and I was told about the history of plastic food and the materials used alongside getting the hands-on experience crafting a very realistic Japanese curry. It's an offbeat activity all ages can enjoy, and something very unique to Japan. I found the price very affordable and would recommend anyone to go. 10/10.
