Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

The kids loved this unique craft experience

Reviewed by: Emily

The kids didn’t know what to expect but afterwards they raved about this experience. They made the regular sized parfait and enjoyed choosing the decorations first with a sample parfait, then pouring in the silicon icecream and arranging the decorations. The man helping was very friendly and patient. It was great to have this experience which we probably couldn’t do anywhere else in the world!

【下北沢】たらし込みアート体験 世界に一つだけのオリジナル作品を作成 アート・ミュージック・ドリンクを楽しむ贅沢なひと時<午後/2時間>

First time doing tarashikomi art. 初めてのたらし込みアート

Reviewed by: くりこ

I participated with my first grader. They lent us aprons, and since we wore gloves while working, our hands only got a little dirty. First, we were served drinks. The children had apple juice.

The colors we created mostly determined the final product, but I realized after finishing that the proportions when mixing the colors at the end were important. We sprinkled gold leaf, glitter, and star shapes. It seemed like the children really enjoyed this part of the process.

The work progressed smoothly, and we finished in an hour. Since it's summer, they said the finished products would arrive at home in about a week. Even the children were able to create decent pieces, and it was a lot of fun.

小1の子どもといっしょに参加しました。エプロンを貸してくれて、手袋を着けて作業するので、少し手が汚れる程度でした。最初に飲み物が出ます。子どもはりんごジュースです。
色作りで作品はほとんど決まりますが、最後に作った色を混ぜる時の分量が大事だったと、作業し終わった後に思いました。
金箔やキラキラしたラメや星形など散らせます。子どもはこの作業が楽しかったようです。
順調に作業が進み、1時間で終了しました。
夏なので、1週間ほどで作品が家に届くそうです。
子どもでもそれなりの作品に仕上がり、楽しかったです。

I was impressed that we could design and create it ourselves. 自分達でデザインして、作成できることに感動

Reviewed by: taka

I was moved by the process of selecting the glass, choosing the design, and creating the final piece. Additionally, I was even more impressed that we could take photos of the glass.
I wasn't confident in the processing, but they explained everything carefully and allowed us to practice, so I was able to create something.
Thank you for this valuable experience.
I will enjoy delicious drinks from the glass we designed ourselves.

グラスを選んで、デザイン選んで、自分で加工して、と一連の流れを経て、作品が出来上がることに感動。かつ、グラスの写真撮影もできて、さらに感動。

I was nervous! 緊張した〜!

Reviewed by: ミイ

I participated in the rain brought by the wandering typhoon. I struggled with choosing a design due to the complexity of the many sample cuts and the difference in my own skills after practicing. I was nervous that if I carved too deeply, I might create holes. With the teacher's advice, I was able to complete it somehow. Next time, I want to challenge myself with a more complex design! (I had fun participating even on my own!)

たくさんある見本のカットの複雑さと
練習してみての自分の力量との差をどうしようかと図案選びに悩みました。
深く彫ると穴が空きそうでおっかなびっくり。

Amazing experience

Reviewed by: Great!

Out of all of the activities we have done in Japan, this has turned to be the best one we have done! The owners are a married couple and both have been so nice and sweet. The whole activity is very immersive and we didn't notice that 2 hours have went by so fast! They also served us sweets and tea before starting and they were all so delicious! I even had 5 refills of the tea.

On our next trip to Japan, we will for sure come by again to see you!

Thank you very much for taking part in making our trip unforgetful.

With lots of love from your first Cyprus visitors. :)

It's fun! 楽しい!

Reviewed by: KIYO

I experienced this on the day of the typhoon, but fortunately, we were able to avoid the heavy rain, so after moving to the store, I was able to participate without any issues. The instructor's sister taught us with great care. I was grateful for the precise guidance on how to carve patterns that I find difficult and on areas for improvement. I could practice while preparing for the main event, and I was also taught difficult and stylish designs.

The instructor praised us very well, which kept my motivation high and allowed me to focus. Unfortunately, I carved too much and made a hole in my glass, but they suggested trying again. (I had to give up due to time constraints.) My wife, who participated with me, finished her piece properly, so I believe that with a little caution, anyone can create something well.

Although I made a hole, I still completed it, so I plan to use it as a cactus pot. However, I feel frustrated, so I want to try again. I think anyone who enjoys crafting will have a great time.

台風直撃日に体験しましたが、幸い土砂降りのタイミングから外れていた為、お店に移動後、問題なく体験できました。先生のお姉さんに丁寧に教えて頂けます。自分の苦手な模様の削り方や、改善ポイントなども的確に指導して頂けるが有難かったです。練習しながら本番に挑めますし、難しい図案や格好良い図案なども教えて頂けます。
とても上手に褒めてくださるので、モチベーションも下がらず、集中して挑めます。残念ながら私は削りすぎてグラスに穴を開けてしまいましたが、もう一つやってみますかとご提案して下さいました。(時間の都合で諦めました)一緒に体験した妻はキチンと仕上げていましたので、無茶しなければ上手に作ることが出来ると思います。
穴は空きましたが、完成はしたので、サボテン鉢にでも活用しようと思います。が、悔しいのでリベンジしようと思います。ものづくりが好きな方はとても楽しめると思います。

Outstanding experience with warm-hearted Kintsugi masters

Reviewed by: Janes

When we think back to our class, we are still filled with the warmth, hospitality and expertise that we were able to experience.
Even though it was only just under 3 hours, we were able to get a great impression of the art of Kintsugi.
Our self-repaired cups, about which we received interesting historical information, will be one of the most precious memories of our trip to Japan.

What an amazing experience in Tokyo!!

Reviewed by: Paula

Such a fun activity with my 16 year old daughter. We went to the studio and were pleasantly surprised to find out if was a personal lesson for just the two of us! Our teacher was so lovely and you could tell how passionate she was about her craft. She explained the whole process thoroughly and helped us if we needed it on each step. The packaging so we could transport our projects back home was also amazing. I did not expect to have that done for us either! Highly recommend if you're into arts and crafts!!

Wonderful, creative time for the whole family!

We had a really wonderful time creating a very unique keepsake that will always remind us of our time in Japan. Our instructor, Hiro, was excellent in explaining everything in English and he helped my sons each learn techniques to create the glass cuts they wanted for each of their designs. After we were done, we were able to photograph our completed glasses in a way that made them look so professional. We highly recommend this activity - especially for those in high school and above.

I just made my own bowl of ramen this weekend and I was helped by one of the workers, Ryou. He was so sweet!! He was able to communicate effectively in English, showed me every step with patience, rooted me on, and even offered to take photos/videos of me throughout the process. After I was finished making my bowl, it took only about 5 minutes for it to dry and I was ready to go!

They also have an area where they sell fake food goodies, and I bought myself some gyoza earrings. It was an easy, quick walk from the station. If you’re into fake food, definitely recommend!!
