This cheerful and informative cooking class was a highlight of our trip to Tokyo. The class was held at Sato's home and he immediately made us feel like we were visiting an old friend as we learned about the ingredients, cooking methods and Japanese culture beyond cuisine - and at the end we got to have an amazing meal! Thank you for the wonderful experience, Sato, hope we get to cook together again another time.

Yuki's home cooking class was the best part of our trip to Japan! She truly went above and beyond in walking us to and from the train station to her home and teaching us all about traditional Japanese culture and cooking. We were able to choose which dish we wanted to prepare prior to our arrival (we chose Gyoza) and she ensured that we were comfortable and well-fed in her home while giving us a wealth of knowledge in Japanese cooking. We made gyoza, Japanese omelets, miso soup, cucumber salad, and rice. For dessert we had the peaches, grapes, and cookies. She also gave us the recipes to take home with us and gave wonderful recommendations for the rest of our time in Japan. Yuki's cooking class was the highlight of our trip to Japan and we are recommending her home cooking experience to all of our family and friends who visit!

We took a local train there from Shinjuku (was only a couple of stops) and used google maps to get there. It was a quick 5 minute walk and found it pretty easily. It has a small sign in the window of an otherwise ordinary looking apartment block. The almost 3 hours flew by. We were a family of 4 (children 9 and 11) and were the only participants. The kids participated in everything (including using the knives) and were very capable of making their own sushi platters. Our instructor spoke perfect English, gave us loads of information and made the class fun and interesting. It was rewarding to eat the yummy sushi we had made and we are definitely looking to make sushi at home in the near future. We have all the recipes and more. It was very good value for money. Thank you Cooking Sun Tokyo!!

A unique and important point to the class is that you will learn, not only how to cook Japanese, but gain a lecture at the beginning of the class about Japanese seasonings. Since I have certified sake sommelier and fermented food master, she is happy to share all her knowledge of Japanese food culture to the attendants. The session makes you cook Japanese food much easier than you thought. Japanese people love to use seasonable and fermented ingredients, which are very tasty, but also have an impact on our health and wellbeing, contributing to a long, healthy life, that may just be that "eye-opening" experience for you. After the lecture, you will start to cook Japanese home-style, dishes using seasonings you just learned and seasonal fresh ingredients. Simple prep work has done ahead so you will enjoy the highlight of cooking. The class is hands-on, couple with demonstration. You will prepare almost 7 kinds of dishes including a main dish from beef, chicken or seafood and vegetab

Whenever we travel my husband and I like to take a cooking class and then host a dinner party serving the dishes we made. So while visiting Japan we booked this class with Fukuko to learn to make the local specialty, Okinomiaki. We were so happy we did, as the whole experience exceeded our expectations. We met at her beautiful new home and worked in her fully equipped and modern kitchen in a quiet yet accessible neighborhood in Tokyo. We were in for a treat! In addition to the main dish, we made at least 6 sides and then enjoyed the feast. Fukuko is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable teacher with a very gentle manner. And in addition to her culinary expertise she happens to be a certified sake sommelier! We so enjoyed our afternoon of cooking, eating, drinking and chatting. We feel that a class like this provides interesting insight into a culture like typical sightseeing cannot. From our first contact her communication was clear, directions to the home were easy to follow, and she even made some recommendations for shopping in the area! All recipes were provided in a follow up email and we look forward to visiting the Japanese market in Chicago and making them again. Thank you very much Fukuko! We had a great time.
