Really enjoyed making the sushi. The teaching was good. The quality of the ingredients was excellent. However we did feel rushed at the end as they wanted to set up for the next class which started at 12 noon - immediately after our class which was 10-12

Oyakodon Cooking Class in a Cozy Tokyo Kitchen

Overall great experience, I did it solo and it was a delightful one on one (and a translator) course. I took the class on Christmas and it was a delightful way to enjoy a holiday lunch. You make cute and simple sushi that you can then recreate at home paired with a fresh and crispy tempura medley. A simple and enjoyable learning experience for 2 Japanese classics.

Amazing Experience with Japanese Knives! This was an unforgettable experience that taught me so much about the art of Japanese knives. I learned: The secrets behind why Japanese knives are so sharp and special. Proper cutting techniques to elevate my skills in the kitchen. How to use the right knife for each task. Tips and tricks for sharpening knives effectively. The highlight was cutting fresh tuna and making a delicious tuna bowl—it was a true culinary delight! If you’re passionate about cooking or want to learn more about Japanese knives, this experience is a must-try. Highly recommend!
