A kid-friendly cooking class in Kyoto
Here is a great ramen, gyoza and onigiri cooking class in Kyoto (for children 12 years old+ only)
A parent & child Japanese cooking class in Yokohama
Wasabi Plus Japan
Based in Yokohama. Classes in a beautiful cooking studio. Classes also incorporate chats about Japanese traditions and Japanese culture in relation to cooking. See here for the Wasabi Plus Workshop for Parents and Kids.
A gluten-free cooking class in Osaka
I recommend joining one of Yukiko’s Gluten Free Comeconoco Cooking Classes in Osaka too. Link and details here. Many people love her okonomiyaki classes most. Even if you can’t finish all the food during the class – you can take it away with you. She also has gluten free bread and pastry making classes.
A gluten free & vegan udon and tempura cooking class in Tokyo
This cooking class is for children 10+ OR adults with children who are sitting (or, hopefully, sleeping?) in a stroller. See all the details for this vegan & gluten free Tokyo cooking class for families here.
A sushi-making class in Asakusa , Tokyo (can be made gluten-free, vegetarian or vegan upon request)
This class welcomes children. Children under 4 are free (they will need to share the dishes with the paying participant/guardian though.) See all the details or this sushi-making class here.
A gluten free, muslim-friendly and/or vegan cooking class in Tokyo
I highly recommend booking a cooking class with “At Home with Nahoko.” See her website here for class details and prices (most classes require a minimum of two people.)
Nahoko is knowledgable and cautious about cross contamination too (separate mats and chopping boards for those with different dietary requirements and allergies) and understands the importance of handwashing and changing utensils when moving between students. Gluten free ramen is a skill that not everyone can master easily (without it turning into mush) but she is happy to share her tips and techniques to make it all work out and create a truly stunning meal.
A kid-friendly sushi making class in Asakusa or near Tokyo Tower in Tokyo
Here is a great kid-friendly sushi making class that you can take either in Asakusa or near Tokyo Tower.
Vegan cooking classes for families
Bentoya Cooking
In several different locations around Japan. Specialty? Vegan Japanese cooking.
