I really enjoyed my time cooking and eating with Shinya, it was both delicious and interesting. Shinya is a very friendly person and I felt really welcome in his house. The house is very traditional and is in a lovely old area of Tokyo. We cooked together and I learnt how to use a Japanese knife, how to make Yukimi Nabe and I loved it. We talked a lot, about Japanese culture, cinema and history. Shinya is a fun and well read person. Thank you Shinya, it was great !

We have had a great time with Shinya! The food, including tofu, edamame, and roasted chicken, were so Japanese and tasted really good! Shinya is very friendly and good at talking! We talked about several issues about the Japanese society and culture! I learned a lot from him and thought communication is the best way to enhance mutual-trust : )

Shinya and his friends created one of our most memorable experiences of our three week trip in Japan. The hot pot was delicious, and we had fun shopping for ingredients before making dinner. But best of all was the chance to converse with so many interesting people about our different countries and cultures. Luckily for us, everyone spoke quite good English. Shinya is warm hearted, exuberant, and a delight to visit. We highly recommend Kitch Hike with Shinya!

We had a wonderful time with Shinya! He was a warm and generous host who made us feel welcome in his home. The food was also really delicious! We enjoyed helping him prepare it and loved hearing him share stories about his life and culture. I would recommend KitchHike, ESPECIALLY Shinya! I hope that during my next trip to Japan, I'll be able to enjoy another delightful dinner with him again! Arigato gozaimasu, gochisousama deshita!

With my wife and my two kids we had a great time with Shinya and his friends. They showed us how to cook Tako balls (Takoyaki) and they gave us a wonderful taste of the Japanese food. They are all nice people and it has been a great opportunity for us to meet and to exchange with them.

My friend and I were having so much fun with Shinya and his friends. We got the chance to go for local grocery shopping and involved in the dinner preparation too. This is great session in exchanging thoughts and understanding each other's culture. Not to mention, we love the udon dish which is really new to us, and also the childhood DIY snacks!

I am glad to know in Shinya's philosophy where world peace is involving where people from different part of the world can understand and accommodating each other.

Shinya and his friends were the greatest! We went to the grocery store together, made homemade takoyaki, laughed a lot and had a wonderful evening. Shinya even helped us find tickets to the sold-out Giants vs Tigers baseball game we wanted to attend. The food was delicious! The company was wonderful! And I am so happy we decided to spend an evening in Shinya's home during our short stay in Tokyo.

What an amazing experience! Being for the first time in Japan Shinya was an amazing host & cook that made me discover real Traditional Japanese food and ingredients i had never heard of before :)
We went food shopping in the local market , prepared everything all together and ended up being about 10 all around a low table sitting all evening eating, talking and having cultural debates.
It will stay one of my amazing memories of Tokyo and Japan trip! Thank you Kitchhike and Shinya!
I'll be waiting for you in Brussels!
