Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Lexi, 2024/04/16

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.

We had so much fun creating our little tart and parfait! They make adorable little souvenirs. The instructor was very patient, knowledgeable and friendly with a little help from Google translate. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun little activity to do that is uniquely Japanese, especially if you love food!

Amazing Experience!

Reviewed by: Joanna Yang, 2024/04/08

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, 2024/03/30

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!

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

A great activity

Reviewed by: MB, 2024/03/17

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.

とてもいい景色、とても美味しい料理、とても行き届いたサービスで、アクティビティ自体は大変満足しました。
ただ少々、両隣の団体さんのお声のボリュームが高く、特に中国からの旅行団体と思われる皆さんには、もう少しご配慮を頂きたかったです。
春節時期なので仕方ないのですが、中国人団体の方々には、都内ところどころで、もう少し常識内の行動に努めて欲しい…的な場面が散見されました。

次回は時期を変えてお世話になります。

Best class ever

Reviewed by: Daniel , 2024/02/19

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!!!

Tokyo Kintsugi Workshop: Simple Gold Repair Class near Shin Koenji

A delightful and novel experience

Reviewed by: Carolyn Dodd, 2024/02/13

We were given this Kintsugi Tryout class by our children as a Xmas present. And what a delightful and fun experience it was!
The tiny workshop, filled with examples of kintsugi to provide inspiration, was only just big enough for us both, two other more experienced Japanese students, and our two wonderful teachers Mr and Mrs Kuge. The latter is a force of nature who provided home made lemon cake, endless tea, written and spoken stories about kintsugi in English, and a shopping list to encourage us to pursue our new hobby. The combination with Mr Kuge's quiet expertise provided an atmosphere where we felt free to relax and be creative. We loved every minute of our class and can't wait to see what our tea cups look like after their 2 weeks drying out period.

珍しい体験！お土産にも。

Reviewed by: はち公, 2024/02/04

ガラスだと吹きガラスやサンドブラストはよくありますが、切子の体験ができるとの事で珍しい！とお値段も手頃なので参加してみました。

参加した回はほぼ満員でした。
特にデザインを考えないで行きましたが、作品見本や図案が沢山あるのでその場でデザインを考えられました。

いろんな色や形のグラスから選べましたが
基本料金で選べるのは透明のグラスのみ、色付きだと＋1000円弱、更に濃い色のグラスだと1800円弱プラスで掛かります。(せっかくなので模様が見える＋1000円弱のグラスにしました)

何回か練習した後に本番に挑めます。
底のデザイン→彫刻→側面のデザイン→彫刻といった流れ。
思ったより深く削っても割れなく大丈夫でした！

出来上がったグラスはブースで写真を撮らせてもらえて、箱に入れて紙袋に入れて渡してもらえます。なので手ぶらや小さい鞄で来ても大丈夫です。

行った時期が冬で暖房が効いてて暖かいのもあり
喋らなくとも乾燥して喉が渇きました。途中喉が乾いて買いに行く人もいたので、ペットボトルや水筒など蓋のついた飲み物を持参すると良いかもしれません。

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Enjoyable experience

Reviewed by: William, 2024/02/04

The most important thing is being able to communicate in English, and the teacher delivered! Instructions were clear, and kept us engaged.

Some of the materials were ready to go, so do not expect the satisfaction of crafting something from scratch, but its difficulty is suitable for travellers.

You should also read the posters on the wall, and you could see some advice from previous players.

I'd rate the experience 10/10!
(Personally think fried rice is more enjoyable than ramen)

Booking was a little bit tricky, it was tough to tell which options were available until checkout. That said, the activity of making a food sample itself was a lot of fun! We made bowls of ramen, and it was interesting to see the process and I am grateful that the instruction could be given in English.

Reviewed by: Tina , 2024/01/25

Kuge Craft provided a detail direction to their workshop, about 8 mins walk from their workshop. It is a cosy place with plenty of artworks and books references.

The experience is amazing. We were greeted by a lovely snack (delicious homemade cake, crackers and earl grey) with English notes and material list for kintsugi. They break it down step by step making it very easy to follow. Along the way, they would also provide extra information before we even know what questions to ask.

They are such a lovely couple, we hope to get to join their workshop again when we are in Tokyo!
