It’s an absolute delight to learn Shine Carving from her. The experience is very therapeutic and also easy to learn. I’ve been twice and both times have been wonderful, you are even offered traditional matcha whilst you are there!

• 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Apr 2025: I spend a happy afternoon there with my friends! The class is so relaxing and it takes my mind off from all the stress. Instructor is very friendly and helpful (and pretty!). We also got to understand a bit of history about where the carving art comes from. Will definitely come back with more friends again.
• 5/5 from Lavy Chan, attended Apr 2025: This is a MUST-GO workshop at Sydney, especially you are fan of japanese culture. The Japanese vibe started when you first walked into the store and all materials that they provided are made in japan (very good quality). You will be able to learn different carving skills, how to use different carving knifes and applying this knowlege to carve your own piece. I had a great afternoon with friends there and will definitely go back in the future. Thanks Ayumi and Alison for the guidance, can't ask for a better one!

• 5/5 from Cathy Mak, attended Apr 2025: What an amazing class! We had an absolute blast! Ayumi (the teacher) is very friendly, the instructions was very clear, and she was very patient even when we were going so slow. We chose this place as our Sunday date activity and have to say it was the best decision ever. Not only did we have a great time doing the course, we liked it so much we even brought one to do at home. Highly recommended A+++
• 5/5 from Stephanie Lin, attended Apr 2025: Ayumi is an amazing, patient, and encouraging teacher who created a calming and relaxing space to learn the craft of Japanese carving. For a few hours, my friend and I were able to slow down, focus on something creative, enjoy a stunning view, soothing music, and a delicious cup of matcha prepared by Alison. One of the most rewarding parts was seeing our progress throughout the workshop. With Ayumi’s gentle guidance, we went from beginners to creating something we felt truly proud of, and left with a handmade keepsake to display. We couldn’t stop talking afterwards about how much we enjoyed the entire experience! I would highly recommend this workshop and encourage anyone to try it!
