Kintsugi Workshop in Tokyo: Repair Pottery with Gold at Kuge Crafts Studio

Creative Experience with lovely instructors

Reviewed by: Linda

Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro are wonderful instructors who we‘re very welcoming. They helped us step through step to repair our little bowls and cups. Yoshikos english is very Good and we were only Four people in total, which was Perfect and relaxing. They perfectly packed our finished goods so we could easily Transport them back to our Home Country. Also we got a Shopping List for all the stuff you need to do Kintsugi at Home, which was very practical at the Store. I highly recommend taking the class here! Thank you so much!

当たり前ですが、お見本の様にはカット出来ず
高齢の母も苦戦してましたが最後にスタッフさんが整えて頂き、映える様に写真撮影もさせてくれます。接客も丁寧でした。

娘と二人で参加しました。
説明もお手本を見せながら、練習もあり、丁寧教えて頂きました。簡単な藤の花の模様が、けっこう上手くできたので、調子に乗って桔梗に挑戦したら、難しく苦戦しました。でも、困った時に聞きながら、最後は、お直しもしてくださり、ライトの当たった黒い布の上に置くと、素晴らしさに感激しました。2時間集中して楽しかったです。

Kintsugi Workshop in Tokyo: Repair Pottery with Gold at Kuge Crafts Studio

Perfect taster!

Reviewed by: Katrin

Loved this workshop which was held in a very small group and super relaxed atmosphere and environment.
The technique was clearly explained and I came away feeling I had learned something that wetted my petite for more.
It's a perfect 'taster' session and you get to take an unusual souvenir home. Just loved it

Kintsugi Workshop in Tokyo: Repair Pottery with Gold at Kuge Crafts Studio

Calm and welcoming introduction to Kintsugi

Reviewed by: Connie

This was the most calming and grounding experience, a total contradiction to a typical day in Tokyo. Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro welcome you into the small street facing studio with home made cake, local treats and freshly brewed tea. Occasionally there is the odd call out from their cat that makes the experience so homely and real that you know you are getting a legitimate immersion into a part of Japanese art and culture.

The class is hands on and Yoshiko makes sure you leave with all the tools you need to keep practicing after you leave the class. She also gives you insights into Japanese culture that are inaccessible to the average visitor.

If you are someone who likes to get under the skin of a city or country, and you like to get off the tourist track to truly start to get your foot into the door of what a culture is about, this is the class for you.

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

An amazing and unique experience!

Reviewed by: kaywaiian

We had a magnificent time with our instructor for the food class! He was instructive, patient, and made the experience the best it could be. You can really tell he loves what he does, and teaching people about it. If we ever come back to Japan, we will definitely be taking another class.

I also want to note: these classes can be taken in English is need be. Our instructor apologized for his “bad English” - and then spoke perfect English the whole time. I was like “no- WE apologize for OUR bad Japanese >_<“

Great fun for all ages. I took my husband and his guy friend, and they loved it more than they thought. Just 10/10 experience.

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Lexi

I booked this experience for my boyfriend's birthday as he's a big fan of plastic food, so we wanted to learn how to make it and try it out for ourselves. If you're worried that this experience may only be fun for kids or families, we're both in our early 30s and had a really fun time of it!

The owner told us about the history of the craft while he taught us how to make our plastic fried rice, and it was really interesting to learn about!

They have a lot of fun trinkets and jewelry for sale as well that make amazing gifts for friends and family!

Would highly recommend this experience for anyone interested.

Reviewed by: Joanna Yang

Great and unique experience making sample food. Booking online was straight-forward and easy as well :) Do note that to purchase additional in-store merchandise (sample food made by the store eg keychains) require cash, which we unfortunately did not bring. Otherwise, the course itself was engaging, straight-forward, and fun even for adults. Would definitely recommend!

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Excellent and fun activity

Reviewed by: Renee

Looking for something to do other than visiting temples, sightseeing, eating, or shopping? Show off your creative talent (you really dont need any!) by making your own sample food. This is a great family activity geared to all ages and skill levels and you learn a bit about the history of sample food. Keep in mind that you are not making samples from scratch. Rather some items such as the noodles and toppings are pre-made and you're basically molding them and placing the items to create your final product. Our group created different items - sushi candle, fried rice, Ramen and pizza clock - and everyone was thrilled with our creations! What a great souvenir to take home. Staff was very friendly, kind, supportive, and more importantly, patient in helping all of us. Try it out for yourself!

I received a warm welcome and the workshop was comfortable. My guide was kind and knowledgeable and happily helped me when I needed it.
I was pleased with my end product (the ramen bowl) and my guide packaged it very well in a secure box.
I would come back again to complete some of the other food options like the parfait.

I definitely recommend this activity. It doesn't take too long, isn't very messy and the end result looks great.

Best class ever

Reviewed by: Daniel

It's such a beautiful and healing class! You're in a small place in the suburbs of Tokyo, surrounded by local folks going about their day - and you will learn the subtle art of Kintsugi while sharing stories of life. The owners could not be kinder and more generous and I appreciated so much how easy they made it to understand what to do. I recommend the class to everyone but make sure you are ready to join their world - not demand your own. You will be rewarded. Thank you!!!
