5.00We had a wonderful cooking class with Sato, Johnny and Ryushi! The cooking kitchen was clean and organised - a warm, friendly environment. The afternoon was very well organised, allowing time to ensure everything was prepared to perfection. The fish for the sushi was fresh and delicious. Out ramen was also very tasty - the best we had on our 4 week Japan trip. The inclusion of drinks and sake was also a highlight.
Best foodie experience ever!

5.00Amazing experience in the kitchen learning to make Ramen and Sushi! It felt more like a home kitchen than a classroom atmosphere, like we were visiting friends for dinner. A very warm and inviting setting. Everything flowed very well, with some time in the kitchen making the ramen broth, then making sushi at the table before heading back to the kitchen to prepare the pork and other ingredients for our our bowls of ramen. The staff were very friendly, not only sharing tips for delicious food but also sharing experiences of travel and tips on where to visit in Tokyo.
Exceptional Class with Great Food and Sake

5.00I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a fun and chill 3 hours while getting to eat some yummy food and trying out some delicious sake. The sushi making portion was easily followed with step by step instructions and excellent visual instructions. The fish was fresh and delicious. Props on the sushi trivia and mini history lesson. Making the shoyu ramen was also fun and smelled so good from the mouth watering prime cut pork belly meat and a savory, shoyu broth. There was so much food, you’ll be full by the end. Nao, Sintaro, and Miyoko were fantastic, patient instructors, and genuinely fun and helpful people. My only recommendation to the owner is that I wish they could also eat with us. ;) Very kind people. Thanks for making our first trip to Japan an exceptional experience!
