Maria and her husband went above and beyond! They were very helpful with picking us up and dropping us off at our hotel in Yokohama before our cruise. Maria was kind and generous enough to welcome us to her home and share her vast cooking knowledge with us. We made lots of dishes together and everything was delicious. This experience was truly unforgettable!

It was a great experience with Maria. We had a lot of fun. To get closer to Japanese culture and mentality, one should definitely do the course with Mary.

At Marie's home in Yokohama I had the chance to experience a very special cooking class: In a relaxed, private atmosphere, she showed me how to make creative sushi candies, delicious tofu meatballs and tender mochi. The whole thing is accompanied by hearty chat, perfectly elaborate recipes and an exclusive sake tasting with hand-picked varieties. Simply watch or lend a hand yourself - both are possible. A culinary experience not to be missed!
