Fantastic!! A must do!! - Yuki was absolutely amazing — such a warm and welcoming lady, and a joy to spend time with. We had a wonderful experience from start to finish and learnt so much about Japanese cuisine, culture, and the little techniques that make home‑style dishes so special. It was one of those rare experiences that feels both fun and deeply memorable. Thank you so much for such a wonderful afternoon 💕.

Amazing Experience! - We had such an amazing time cooking with Yuki! It was all timed so perfectly and laid out to be very hands on with great instruction! Lots of laughter and good conversation! As two home cooks this was definitely a must do activity and we will be taking these recipes back home with us to share what we learned! Would 100% come back!

Wonderful experience and delicious food - We were able to express our menu preferences beforehand, and this was taken into consideration. We had a wonderful evening cooking with Yuki. She is a fantastic teacher and explained everything to us slowly and kindly. Yuki also gave us valuable and interesting background information about the dishes, the culture, and Japanese traditions. She is a wonderful hostess, and the atmosphere is cozy. We would absolutely recommend this cooking class.

Great Cooking Class and Interactive Experience - It is hard to find their location, but if you call them they will come find you! It was a VERY authentic experience and a lot of fun. Not only did we learn to cook dishes we will make again, but the teacher was a lot of fun.
