Tokyo : locations saisonnières

You'll finish this experience as an EXPERT on Japan's most popular soul food, RAMEN! This experience is great for groups, including for team-building! How many ramen shops are in Tokyo? When exactly was ramen invented? At the Ramen "Rookie" level, you'll get to know this and more, as we go over all the basics. From here, we'll crank it up a notch - a Ramen "Conversational" level of difficulty. We'll dive deeper - taking a virtual ramen tour at one of Tokyo's most famous ramen shops. While there, we'll discuss how to best enjoy ramen - like a true local. This will include how AND what to order via the ticket machine (when there's no English), as well as ramen do's and don'ts. We'll also get to see how the ramen is prepared, behind the scenes and in their kitchen! As part of the last level of difficulty, Ramen "Expert", I'll give some pro tips on how to make an easy soy sauce seasoning, or just upgrade your instant ramen at home. Lastly, we'll watch a mouthwatering video with 19 amazing Tokyo ramen shops (including in popular Shibuya). You can bookmark these for your next Tokyo trip! At the end, an interactive Q & A session will allow for any lingering ramen questions. Please reach out if you don't see a convenient date and time in the calendar. I'll create a new one for you! Other things to note - Please note that the cost is per person (not per screen)

Origami unites people and creates happiness, resulting in peace and smiles all around the world. I have found myself origami is quite versatile: easy to start, stimulating imagination and creativity, calming mind. I will run the session with much love of origami, which is interactive and includes joking. I hope all of the guests having smiles and laughters, which make me happy. I'll give you a handout pdf for the class in advance for your reference. In the class, let me give you a virtual tour of my place Tokyo suburb and show you some amazing origami works with some stories I have learned through my 10 years of experience. Then I'll teach how to fold some attractive origami works: easy and fun, just relax with having a cup of drink :-). Using origami paper you prepare, you'll be walked through each step of folding. You'll have three or four origami works completed in the class. Let's have fun with Origami and add more smiles to the world! Meet you soon :-)

During this 45 minute online classic guitar session, I invite you to take part in an age-old Japanese Shinto custom called “Naorai”. Naorai is a banquet held after Shinto festivals and ceremonies, and originally had the purpose of breaking the fast to going back to normal day-to-day life by eating and drinking together. I believe we can virtually recreate the spirit of Naorai by substituting music for food and sharing our own sounds. After introducing ourselves to each other, you can indulge yourself in the sounds of the 19th-century guitar as I play widely-known guitar masterpieces, as well as a Japanese nursery rhyme. At the end of the session, I’ll wear a Noh mask and improvise a song, which you are welcome to join me and jam out together. It doesn’t even have to be a musical instrument, play whatever and however you feel like playing; If the action of grinding coffee beans makes you focus, that’s the instrument for you. So, let's sharing live music together! This experience will be held live online. Other things to note You’ll need an internet connection and the ability to stream audio and video to participate. A link and details on how to join will be included in your booking confirmation email.

I will take you exclusively to the Japanese brands that I feel match your own personal style, so that your experience is truly personalized to you. Along the way,we'll discuss the history and context of Japanese fashion. "God is in the details." I will show you items which you can only buy in Tokyo - most visitors couldn't find by themselves or by using tourist’s guide books. Fashion styles include business, street, casual, upscale, and modest. This is a shopping experience cultivated just for you. It's like treasure hunting in a deluxe closet. If you go to the shops with me, the shops' owners and staff will welcome you with openness and friendliness. And,You will be permitted to take photos and videos. I had picked and chose myself carefully for the places. Establishing relationship through intimate exchange over time, about fashion but also about the culture that surrounds the world of fashion. I find so much joy and the sense of meaning to bridge my customers and those independent brands. Stores I chose will share not only their fine collection of apparel but their history and experiences, I expect everyone to trade inspirations and perspectives, as well as wide range of interest during the visit. “Don’t just shop. Collect the precious moments in those experiences to obtain, rediscover yourselves!”
