Hiroko is a lovely host who really helped us understand how to make proper sushi and miso soup! The tips and recipe sheets we got to take home were great! It was a fantastic morning!

Hiroko was an excellent host and we had a lovely time at our private mini sushi class. She made it vegan for us and was very patient showing us how to make and roll the sushi. Thank you so much Hiroko!

My wife and I shared a very enjoyable afternoon with Hiroko learning to cook in her spotless kitchen and home. As well as learning about the Japanese dishes we also picked up a couple of good generic cooking tips. The day was topped off by enjoying the delicious food in her serene garden with traditional seating set up.

Amazing Sushi Making Class!
Hiroko's sushi making class was an absolute delight! She's an incredibly knowledgeable and patient teacher. I learned so much about preparing the ingredients, cooking sushi rice to perfection, and rolling the perfect sushi. But it wasn't just about sushi - we also made delicious miso soup and another rice dish. The entire experience was hands-on and fun. I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in Japanese cuisine. Thank you, Hiroko!

I bought my partner a cooking class as a Christmas present for the two of us and we had a wonderful time. Firstly Hiroko sent a beautiful gift card so I could surprise him on Xmas day.
The actual cooking class itself was interesting and fun. The classes are small and intimate as held in Hiroko’s lovely home. She was knowledgeable about the food and all things Japanese, she also made sure the ingredients were accessible so we could recreate the dishes at home.
I would definitely recommend booking into a class to broaden your culinary horizons, there are lots of different dishes to book, as well as sushi and tofu making classes so lots of variety. Me and my partner are vegan and Hiroko accommodated this easily for us.
Thank you for such a fun afternoon.
