    We chose Junko because of her good reviews and her close proximity to and tour of Tsukiji Outer Market. She gave us her email address right away and we started communication before arrival. She was also very helpful with text and WhatsApp on the day of. Her English skills were good and in fact she was on her way to English classes after we left. Tho sometimes there was a communication gap we could see that her heart was big! In fact we forgot a Suica card at her place (which we didn’t realize) and she contacted us and arranged for pick up (thank you). Shopping at a crowded market is tough but Junko navigated like a homing pigeon and then we took the metro to her modest and homey/comfy apartment where we all took turns preparing and then eating a delicious lunch. She even gave us a parting gift of homemade marmalade (pictured)! Thank you Junko!

    My son and I had the pleasure of spending the morning with Junko-san touring Tsukiji and cooking in her home. The food was great. Junko-san was absolutely wonderful to be with. This was a very enjoyable time. She asked my son if he had ever tried octopus or squid sashimi. When he said he had not she made sure to get some and have us try it. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to cook. And of course anyone who likes to eat really good food.

    We had a lovely time with Junko, cooking together in her apartment. We stopped first and saw the market and shopped for lunch, picking up fresh shrimp and fish, which she showed us how to prepare in amazingly delicious typically Japanese dishes. Junko was a delightful hostess, full of pleasant conversation and a patient teacher. Her English was excellent and we had no trouble communicating with her. I would definitely recommend this to experience to anyone visiting Tokyo who enjoys food and cooking.

    This experience is a must! Junko is a delight who is an accomplished teacher. She walked us through the fish market, often commenting on the wide variety of fish displayed. She patiently helped us cook. The meal we had was of multiple foods that were pretty, tasty, and bountiful. After the 3 hour experience we walked away with increased knowledge, big smiles, full bellies and happy hearts from spending time with this humble, talented and utterly charming lady.
