Make udon in a Kyoto townhouse, with lunch in a private-group format.
Why we chose it
A reason to go.

A rolled omelette, dressed vegetables, tempura and soup ask for different kitchen skills. Bringing them together as lunch makes Cooking Sun’s bento class a useful first lesson in composing a Japanese meal.
Mochi ice cream, dorayaki and mitarashi dango bring wrapping, pancake-style batter and sweet-salty glaze into one lesson. That contrast makes the sample menu appealing to cooks interested in textures as much as sweetness.
