Our group of international guests had a great time learning to make the nerikiri and the proper way to enjoy matcha. Even our Japanese colleague learned new things that she didn't know before. A translator was also provided to help with communication. We even got to take home our creations in a plastic container. Would highly recommend to all!

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!)
