My husband and I had an incredible time learning to make sushi with Saeko! Saeko welcomed us into her home and kitchen, where we learned all about the different ingredients in miso soup, sushi, and tofu, and then we got to make (and eat) each! We would love to take another class by Saeko. Very highly recommend this class as part of your visit to Japan! 🌸

What a wonderful experience! Everything was clearly explained and conducted in a friendly and welcoming environment. It was a real learning experience, and you got to eat your handiwork when you were finished. The host explained and demonstrated everything first and then let's you do it on your own. Very authentic and highly recommended!

This was great. Fumi and her team lead us through making Gyoza and Ramen Noodles step by step in a very easy and organised way. We were all surprised and delighted with what they guided us to produce. What I thought of as something very difficult they made into an easy set of tasks that produce a surprisingly good outcome on the first attempt. Very clear instructions and guidance throughout but also making sure we did it ourselves so we learned. A very good and useful cooking experience with also good tips along the way.
