Whenever we travel, my partner and I always book a cooking class. We’ve been to many but this was easily the best one. Emi, the host, is so kind, open, and a great teacher. We learned so much not only about the cooking, but Japan and the culture. She gave us many recommendations for our trip. The food was delicious and the setting was cozy and intimate. I honestly do not think there is a better cooking class to choose than this one. The location may seem far, but it’s extremely easy to get here with public transportation, and being able to see a more quiet and residential side of Tokyo was great to see. This experience was absolutely amazing and we would highly recommend it to anybody!
Thank you so much for your kind review! We are truly honored to hear that this was one of the best cooking classes you’ve experienced during your travels. Creating a warm, welcoming, and memorable experience is exactly what we hope for, and we’re so happy that the cozy atmosphere and neighborhood setting added to your experience. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you both again on another culinary adventure in Japan someday!
We had a really good time. The class isn’t too complicated and what we prepared was really good. It is easy to make it again at home since the host explains everything very well. She was really nice and invested into teaching us how to make the meals. We also had a really good time with her and great conversation. Thank you very much
Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We're delighted to hear that you had a great time and found the class both enjoyable and easy to follow. It's wonderful to know that the instructions were clear and helpful for recreating the dishes at home. We truly appreciate your participation and hope to welcome you again in the future ☺️
We highly recommend booking a cooking session with Emi if you’d like to learn more about Japanese cuisine!! My daughter (who is training to be a chef) and I enjoyed a lovely evening making a delicious meal and learning so much from Emi…. from specific culinary techniques and recipes to what life is like in Japan. She is so friendly and knowledgeable that we will certainly book another class with her when we visit again. Cooking with Emi and exploring her neighbourhood in Tokyo was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your daughter had such a wonderful time cooking with Emi. It’s fantastic that she could share not only her culinary expertise but also insights into life in Japan. We’re delighted that this experience became one of the highlights of your trip! We can’t wait to welcome you back for another memorable cooking session in Tokyo!
Absolutely unmissable experience! Nice and funny cooking class, with super friendly conversation with Emi! Super-tasty gyoza and deliciuos udon with tempura!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled you had a great time cooking with Emi and enjoyed the delicious gyoza and udon. We hope you’ll join another fun experience with us in the future!
Emi is a fantastic instructor. From the start of the class, she clearly demonstrated what to do, talked through why we needed to take each step (the 'this is what you're looking for' in a recipe, for example why you want the vegetables cut in a particular way), and overall made it an absolutely wonderful experience. All three dishes we made were delicious and unique, so getting to learn the techniques of how to make each one was wonderful. I'm strictly vegetarian and she worked with me to make everything appropriate for my diet (and it was all delicious!). We came away feeling comfortably full and with a wonderful memory. We look forward to making the dishes again now that we know how. If you want a wonderful addition to your trip where you can actually learn about the food (and Emi was wonderful to talk to so you can ask questions about food, cooking, and Japanese culture) then I highly recommend taking this class!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the class and found it both informative and delicious. It’s great to know that you had a wonderful experience with our instructor. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope you have fun recreating those dishes at home. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future!
Emi is an amazing host; very kind and personable. They food we learned to cook was absolutely delicious and we are very excited to take what we learned from her and cook for our family back home.
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the class and found the recipes delicious. It’s wonderful that you’re eager to share your new skills with your family. We hope to see you again for more cooking fun in the future! Happy cooking!
