Cooking 101 and Sake Intro
I had a very great class one on one with the chef and instructor! They showed me how to make an amazing hot pot and then tips and tricks on how to cut vegetables for presentation. I went in never tasting sake and came out with a great knowledge of all the different ways you can enjoy!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your incredible review! We are absolutely delighted that you had such a wonderful time making authentic Sukiyaki and learning the tips for beautiful vegetable presentation. Our workshops are intentionally kept to small groups so that our chef and instructor can provide close, step-by-step guidance to everyone. We are so glad that you were able to enjoy a very cozy and attentive session during your visit! It’s also a huge honor for us to introduce you to your very first taste of sake and share the different ways to enjoy it. Thank you for choosing Kappodo. We hope you recreate that amazing Sukiyaki at home, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Tokyo in the future!

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Japanese Sake Tasting & Wagyu Sukiyaki Cooking Class in Tokyo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Japanese Sake Tasting & Wagyu Sukiyaki Cooking Class in Tokyo cost?
+
Prices start at $128 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Japanese Sake Tasting & Wagyu Sukiyaki Cooking Class in Tokyo take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.
Is Japanese Sake Tasting & Wagyu Sukiyaki Cooking Class in Tokyo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Japanese Sake Tasting & Wagyu Sukiyaki Cooking Class in Tokyo?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Japanese Sake Tasting & Wagyu Sukiyaki Cooking Class in Tokyo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Japanese Sake Tasting & Wagyu Sukiyaki Cooking Class in Tokyo?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Japanese Sake Tasting & Wagyu Sukiyaki Cooking Class in Tokyo start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tokyo?
+
Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Shinjuku: Izakaya Food Tour (3-4 Stops, 14+ Tastings), Matcha Making Class in Tokyo with Authentic Japanese Sweets Set, Sushi Making Tokyo Roll and Authentic Japanese Sushi Class. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tokyo?
+
Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tokyo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Japanese Sake Tasting & Wagyu Sukiyaki Cooking Class in Tokyo?
+

Not included: Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Japanese Sake Tasting & Wagyu Sukiyaki Cooking Class in Tokyo?
+
There is a samurai-style mural on the wall. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

+
It is offered in Japanese and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
