5.00It was a memorable and delicious experience for us. I was planning our trip to Japan and discovered Yuki’s cooking class was highly recommended on Threads. Yuki was very friendly. I arrived at her place early and she was very happy to see us. She explained the process well and was very patience with us. She had prepped some items ahead of time and was very organized with her lessons. She made it appeared easy to cook Japanese cuisine. I can’t wait to replicate her recipes at home. Overall, my family and I had a great time. I highly recommend Yuki’s cooking class.
Fun and Delicious!

Learning How to Make Delicious Homemade Japanese Food

5.00Yuki-san was great teaching a wide variety of recipes of Japanese homemade cooking staples, from scratch, that were easy to make. It required some preparation time and good time management. The main dishes we made were tonkatsu and teriyaki salmon. The other dishes included onigiri (2 types), dashi-maki tamago (rolled egg patty), miso soup, two veggie sides (green beans with sesame and pickled cucumbers). I learned not only about the techniques to cook the dishes, but also the ingredients needed for each recipe. In addition, I also learned about so many ingenious kitchen gadgets that make Japanese cooking more efficient. I had a personalized experience since I was the only student today. I really enjoyed the delicious feast we made during the class and also spent a wonderful couple of hours with Yuki-san. I highly recommend this course for those who like to cook homemade authentic dishes at home.
Fantastic experience!

5.00I recently took a Washoku cooking class and had such a wonderful experience! Yuki was knowledgeable, patient, and made the class fun and easy to follow. I learned several new techniques and recipes that I’m excited to try again at home. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and everything was well organized—from the ingredients to the step-by-step guidance. It was a great mix of learning, hands-on cooking, and enjoying the delicious food we prepared together. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who loves cooking or wants to build confidence in the kitchen. I’m already looking forward to taking another class!
