Full description
This is a 2.5-hour experience in Hoi An. It is run by Happy Holiday Travel - Viet Nam, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Japanese cooking classes usually build a meal around dashi, the kombu and bonito stock that sits under miso soup, simmered dishes and noodle broths, and then one or two headline dishes: rolled sushi or nigiri, gyoza, tempura, okonomiyaki, or a bento box. Wagashi classes make the seasonal sweets served with tea from sweet bean paste. Most classes run two to three hours in a home kitchen or a small studio, and vegetarian versions replace the bonito with a kombu-shiitake dashi. You eat what you make, and Japanese teachers are precise about technique.

Traveler Reviews
The activity was great. The guide was really Informative and had a great sense of humor. The coconut boat driver we had was also very fun and happy. The cooking class itself was a lot of fun. The recipes were good an easy to access once the course was done. Would recommend to family and friends
Great cooking lesson although not sure I could recreate the dishes! the boat ride was lovely through the trees and we learnt a fair bit about the local fruit and veg at the market. A fun tour and well worth doing.
Excellent cooking class! Guide was so lovely and explained everything. We were collected and dropped door to door. We made SO much good food (4 dishes) and the coconut boats were a great experience.
This was so fun! We started with a market tour and got a chance to try some of the local fruits/veggies, went on a boat ride + did crab fishing through a coconut forrest, and finished by learning how to prepare four delicious Vietnamese dishes. Our guide, Flower, was a great host and did a great job walking us through each experience. Would highly recommend this for anything looking for a cool cultural experience in Hoi An.
The lady who taught us the cooking side of things was so funny and lovely! Then the coconut boat paddler that we have was absolutely crackers in the best way, reslly made it memorable for us!
Awesome experience, our tour guide was really friendly and helpful, food was delicious and the boat ride was beautiful.
Our guide was kind, even buying people in the group rain ponchos when it was raining outside. Enjoyed the cooking class and the dishes prepared - lots of food & memories made!
It was a really great experience. The teacher was incredible and even though there was a little mix up with my name on the tour list for the day, they went above and beyond to make it feel like I was appreciated and cared about on this tour. 15/10
It was excellent if I had a chance to do it again I would skip the coconut boat ride , it wasn’t what I expect . Seem as if space was needed to fill / wasted time fishing for small crab even though so many us ask to go back .
We had a wonderful time. Pick up from hotel so convenient. Very friendly people. Got to see and try many different things. Good value
This was one of my favorite activities we did in Vietnam. The chef was great and explained everything well. I’m vegetarian and they provide great alternatives for the dishes, the food turned out amazing. I’ll definitely be recommending to my friends and family!
Activities were excellent, extremely fun, and very informational. The boat tour was great and the cooking class was the best!
