ABC Cooking Shibuya Studio

Learn to cook something new

Located in the heart of Shibuya, the ABC Cooking Studio isn't difficult to find at all. There's a big glass window where onlookers can peek into the studio and see what's cooking. The entrance is clearly marked, though I went in through the back so it was a bit harder for me to find. Online, on Google, the reviews for this palace weren't that promising. A lot of people said that the staff were rude and abrasive, but I didn't find that to be the case at all. Despite us only doing a trial lesson, they were very kind. (Or maybe that was the reason why: you can't sell full-time lessons if you don't make a good first impression.) The cooking instructions were both printed and we were guided through everything. We could both observe the instructor as well as try it as a hands-on experience. I really did learn a lot of new bread making techniques which was what my goal was. If you are a full-time student here, you can take advantage of a free (included in your lesson fee) drink bar. It included a bunch of different alcohols so you could pair them with your dish appropriately, so definitely take advantage if you can! I highly recommend this experience, and if you're interested as well, be sure to check out my in-depth blog post about it, coming soon!
