We had a wonderful family time at this cooking class! Emi was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and provided excellent guidance throughout the session. Every step was clearly explained, and we learned so many practical tips that will help us recreate the recipes easily at home. The food we prepared was absolutely delicious — fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, and a fun, hands-on experience. I left feeling confident and inspired to cook these dishes again for my family and friends. Highly recommend this class to anyone who loves good food and wants to learn in a relaxed and enjoyable environment!

Emi was a lovely cooking instructor. She showed us how to make okonomiyaki, tempura, and gyoza and shared the recipes with us. We loved being in a private class and getting to speak with her about Japanese culture as well.

Our cooking class with Emi was such a special experience! We made some absolutely delicious Japanese dishes, and Emi guided us through each step with patience and care. She shared so many useful tips that we can’t wait to bring back home and try in our own kitchen. The whole experience felt super authentic and local—like cooking with a friend in her home. Emi was incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, and made us feel so welcome. Highly recommend this class if you’re looking for a meaningful, hands-on experience in Japan. :)
