Are you planing to visit Kyoto on your trip to Japan and are looking for a fun and educational experience while there, I recommend you check out Aogami Kyoto. On their website you can book authentic Japanese home-made cooking classes and purchase high-quality Japanese kitchen knives, so make sure to pay them a visit.

Any journey to Japan would be incomplete without a visit to the famous city of Kyoto. As Japan's former capital and seat of the imperial court for many centuries, Kyoto offers a rich and diverse culinary tradition. There are many types of dishes to try there, from cheap street food, to highly prized Wagyu and Kaiseki delicacies. As you immerse yourself in the history of Kyoto, surrounded by many ancient temples and shrines, every meal you have in that beautiful city somehow feels even more appetizing. So it comes as no surprise that Kyoto is the 3rd most Michelin starred city in the world. Kyoto truly has something for everyone and I am sure you will enjoy your stay there.

However, there is an even better way to experience Japanese food than visiting restaurants or street food vendors. You can learn how to make it on your own! That way you take a part of Japanese culinary tradition back home with you and share it with your friends and family. I recommend you do this by finding a good Japanese cooking class hosted by an experienced chef who will share with you the secrets of Japanese cuisine.
