This class was super fun! Yuko-sensei is a gracious host and an excellent teacher. The class is a cozy and welcoming experience in her home, and you'll leave with cute and delicious goodies 💕 I have to be gluten free, so it was really great to have a few experiences I could freely enjoy without worry. Yuko-sensei was very conscientious about allergies and communicated ahead of time to ensure everything was fine. Since I got two lessons, I was able to do them back to back which was very nice! You'll have a great time, get some tasty recipes to replicate at home, and a chance to explore a very cute neighborhood. Go for it!! (Doubling this review for both my taiyaki and wagashi classes. Both were fantastic!)

Terada-sensei was wonderful and so knowledgeable, so the class was informative and fun! It’s hands on and you get to eat or take with you the finished product. Truly one of the best things I did in Japan and I’m so glad I found the class. And Choko-Chan, her poodle, is a well-behaved delight. Highly recommend!!
