Perfect ! To do ! - Really a great activity! To do with your eyes closed! The activity lasts 2 hours but the time flies! You learn how to make bento as much as you learn how to cook!

Panda Bento - This was a very fun experience! The panda bento was really cute and customizable. They went over some bento facts before starting. As a solo traveller, I felt pretty welcome.

Such a fun experience! 10/10 recommend - This was such a fun activity, me and my friends had a great time! 10/10 recommend. Its a private class so it was nice and small. We were stepped through how to make a bento, and then got to decorate it to look like a cute panda. It was so tasty! It was my first time making bento, and I'm looking forward to making it again 🥰

Bento making fun for all! - The class was such fun. I thoroughly enjoyed my lesson with Kenji and Saori. They guided me through the process of making rolled omelets and flowers. Both of them were fun and engaging. They took the time to get to know me a little and shared a bit of themselves with me. I will definitely put the skills they taught me to use. Totally recommend this to anyone looking for lunch inspiration.
