Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Creative fun

Reviewed by: Peta

My 4 year old and I had a great time making our cupcake and tart. The teacher was so kind and patient, and could cater to us with our lack of Japanese. There was even a playground with a roller slide in the park next to the building, which was perfect for keeping our 1 year old busy while we participated.

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

One of our favorite activities in Japan!

Reviewed by: Ronni

We had such a great time creating our little cupcake and fruit tart! The instructor was so kind and spoke very good English, while simultaneously explaining to another group of visitors in Japanese. It was also a nice change of pace from running around Tokyo to sit and do a craft. We had a hard time choosing additional souvenirs (a magnet and keychain) from their wide selection, and it felt nice to buy from a local business versus the mass produced ones you’ll see in tourist shops. We’d love to come back and do a larger craft next time we’re in town!

I was looking forward to my first kiriko experience. After practicing a few times, it was straight to the main event. I received a brief explanation at first, but then I felt a bit abandoned. I think the enjoyment of the experience varies depending on the instructor.

金継ぎ教室 一日体験 大切な器を美しく修理する伝統技術 <南阿佐ヶ谷>by 手仕事屋久家

A gentle atmosphere of kintsugi workshop. やさしい雰囲気の金継ぎワークショップ

Reviewed by: ジェジェ

I experienced kintsugi for the first time. I found Kuge Craft on Google Maps and loved the warm and calming atmosphere. The owner couple was very kind and taught us patiently.

I brought a small plate for my cat, but I was also able to repair a teacup. Now, I cherish and use everything at home!

The group size was small, which allowed us to enjoy the experience leisurely. For those driving, there is a parking space right next to the shop.

I definitely want to go again!

Create Your Unique Knife: Japanese Knife Sharpening and Handling Experience

Authentic knife-smithing experience

Takato Matsudaira was instructive, protective, and kind as he taught us about the knife-making process. It gave us a renewed appreciation for the knives that we use every day. At the end of this class, we produced wobbly, pitted knives that we'll treasure forever, because despite, or probably because of the imperfections, we made it ourselves!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience despite your busy schedule.

I believe it was quite hot during your visit, especially since we always handle fire in the workshop. We also appreciate the lovely photos of the glass. We hope that when you use the glass, it brings back memories of your time in Okinawa.

In addition to the glass-making experience, we offer other craft experiences as well. We would be delighted if you consider using our services again when you visit Okinawa.

We look forward to your next visit.

There were few colored glasses. カラーのグラスが少なかった

Reviewed by: 日本文化を楽しむ会

This was my second experience. Last time, I chose a cherry-colored tumbler from a wide variety of glass shapes and colors, but this time, the colored glasses were limited to light blue, dark blue, and dark red, with only one shape available for each color. Since there were 11 participants from a company alumni gathering, I had hoped to create something with my preferred glass, but in the end, I had no choice but to select a clear glass. Many participants expressed disappointment afterward, saying, "It's a shame there were no colored glasses."

Additionally, last time, the staff made adjustments after the pieces were completed, but that didn't happen this time, which was disappointing. At first, I was nervous about carving, but as I got used to it, it became enjoyable, and I felt like I wanted to challenge myself to create a more elaborate piece with colored glass next time. Overall, it was a very fun experience, and I would like to try it again.

今回2回目の体験です。前回はグラスの形状、カラーが豊富で桜色のタンブラーを選びましたが、今回はカラーのグラスが薄い水色、濃いブルー、濃い赤のみでそれも各色1種類の形状のみでした。今回は会社のOBの集まりで11名参加と言うこともあり、出来るだけお好みのグラスで作成して頂きたかったのですが、結局、透明のグラスを選ぶしか無くて、参加後の感想も「色のグラスがなかったのが残念」と言う声が多数ありました。
また、前回は出来上がってからお店の方が修正を入れてくださったのですが、今回はそれがなかったのが残念でした。
始めは恐々削っていましたが、慣れてくると楽しくなって、カラーグラスでもう少し凝った作品にチャレンジしたいと思いました。
体験としてはとても楽しかったのでまた体験したいと思います。

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

A Fun and Memorable Sundae Sample-Making Experience (Second Visit!)

Reviewed by: WLeoLeo

This was our second time booking this delightful experience—our first was last year, and we were excited to return! The location is very convenient, just a few minutes’ walk from the nearest train station, and easy to find.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality. Although the owner doesn’t speak much English, he went out of his way to communicate and make us feel welcome. He was incredibly friendly, kind, and guided us patiently through each step of the sundae-making process.

We could each choose up to five silicone food samples to decorate our sundae. First, we picked the color of the sundae base and then created it under the owner's guidance. After that, we learned how to twirl the sundae, which was really fun, before moving on to the decorating part.

The finished sundaes looked adorable—so realistic and yummy-looking! It was a really fun and hands-on activity, perfect for all ages. We had a great time and made some sweet memories. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and creative experience in Japan

琉球びんがた体験 沖縄伝統の染物でオリジナル作品作り 選べる2プランでお気軽に参加◎<約30分~90分/国際通りてんぶす那覇>

A very meaningful moment. とても有意義なひと時

Reviewed by: 竹千代

I had the opportunity to experience Bingata at a hands-on workshop where I could try my hand at everything from coloring to outlining in about 90 minutes. I chose a tote bag and received a lecture from the instructor about the history of Bingata. It was a direct experience that made me realize just how difficult this art form is, and I truly appreciated its value. On the third day after bringing it home, I washed it... Although it's a rather clumsy piece I made myself, it has become a precious souvenir that carries the unique cultural scent of Okinawa. I hope Bingata becomes more widely known.

90分ほどで作品の色差しから隈取りまで体験させてもらえる体験型工房での紅型。トートバッグを選び、先生より紅型の歴史やレクチャーを教えてもらい、ダイレクトに体験して、こんなにも難しいものかと紅型という芸術の価値を改めて感じたひと時でした。持ち帰って3日目に洗いにかけて…自分で作ったへなちょこ作品ではありますが、沖縄のかけがえのない文化的な香りのするお土産となりました。もっと紅型が普及しますように。

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Most memorable display food making experience!

Reviewed by: Ck

Our family booked 2 sessions of workshop here, the first to make a parfait, ramen and curry rice, and the second to make 2 tempura sets. We went immediately when we touched down and as there were some delays at the airport and it was raining when we were traveling to the workshop, we were late and the owner of the workshop, Ito san, was standing outside looking worried and waiting for us. When he saw us, he warmly welcomed us and was patient with us whilst we settled down. Ito san was extremely patient and kind when teaching us how to make the various display food, especially with my daughter was so still young and so needed more time/strength to compete the display food. He patiently explained to us the different materials used and also made sure our end products were of high quality, adding on more materials as and when needed. In the end we exceeded our allocated time of 2hours but not once were we rushed at all. Ito san’s sincerity and skills shined throughout our workshops. I also heard the other facilitators teaching and they were patient as well. I would highly recommend the workshops here and thank you so much Ito san for such a memorable experience!
