This cooking class was much more than a class. It was an experience not to be missed. Chieko and Yuki were informative, fun and so nice. The food was delicious and we definitely have some new skills to bring home with us. Thank you so much.

Chieko and her team of lovely ladies were amazing and super helpful throughout. They explained what we were doing and why and about the different produce we cooked with. The end product was absolutely fantastic!! Highly recommend this experience.
We had a really enjoyable and tasty time with our very talented chef Aki. Aki spoke great English and besides guiding us in cooking, shared a lot about Japanese culture. We made 4 delicious dishes, brought a bottle of saki and made a delicious dinner. Slow down the sightseeing frenzy, relax and learn culinary techniques with Aki!
Chieko and Aya were awesome. We learned how to make delicious Japanese cuisine like okonomiyaki, sesame spinach salad, and rolled. Chieko is a friendly, helpful instructor, and we recommend everyone interested in a cooking class in Tokyo book with her. Chieko and Arya made us feel very welcome, and we hope to one day return to Tokyo and learn more from them!
<p>Host Junko was very friendly and warm. Asked in advance if we would like to put on the Yakata for an experience at no cost. And knowing it was my birthday, prepared a small birthday gift - so very thoughtful. Had a wonderful experience making sushi and onigiri at the home of a local.</p>
