    Dango Soup cooking class, absolutely WONDERFUL. The guy at Space Beppu sent a cab for us when we couldn't find one getting off the cruise ship. We went to a historic house, made the wonderful noodles and the soup, ate it. Then he called us another cab sent us to the Monkey Park, the cab waited and returned us to the Ship. What a fabulous day!

    Warm hospitality of Masa and his female assistant made the experience authentic and memorable. Masa-san was flexible in visiting another market when he knew we’ve been to the original market he wanted to bring us. Along the way he pointed out street landmarks and shared what it was in the past versus present. The pace and explanation of cooking were comfortable and clear.

    This was one of the BEST culinary experiences we’ve had and we do culinary experiences all over the world. The location in the 100+year old house was really nice and the little local crafts area was fabulous! The lady who led the class was great but the coordinator was absolutely amazing! We had trouble getting a taxi so he sent us one, afterwards he arranged a trip to the monkey park for us. We would keep in touch with him!

    After cooking the ramen we ate it at the table together, it was very fun and delicious! We also made Tamagoyaki which was very fun rolling and came out very good. When I came back to Italy I brought a squared pan with me to keep making Tamagoyaki by my own. I always think about the cooking class experience every time I make them.

    It was my first time to try Japanese cuisine, DANGOJIRU, a local dish of Oita Prefecture at Space Beppu. The experience was very nice, the cooking class was enjoyable and interesting to know about Japanese ingredients. The chit chat was informative regarding the places to visit, some travel tips and your planning activities and much more
