We had a really great time making taiyaki and Anmitsu, so much so that we immediately bought our own taiyaki pan! Worth mentioning that we both have severe allergies and Yuko went to great lengths to accommodate us including sending us pictures of packets to confirm ingredients would be ok and offering to source alternatives if necessary. The class was very organized, the cooking area was clean and tidy, and we generally had a fantastic experience. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you had such a great time making taiyaki and anmitsu with us, and that you even went ahead and bought your own taiyaki pan! It means a lot to us that you felt comfortable and safe, especially with your allergies. We always aim to ensure everyone has an enjoyable and worry-free experience. It was a pleasure having you both in the class, and we’re so happy to hear you found everything organized and clean! Your recommendation truly warms our hearts. We hope you continue to enjoy making taiyaki and anmitsu at home, and we’d love to see you again soon for more delicious fun! Thank you again for your kind words!

Yuko-sensei was very conscientious about allergies and communicated ahead of time to ensure everything was fine. Since I got two lessons, I was able to do them back to back which was very nice!

My daughters and I had a great time making sweets with Yuko! She was very informative, and she was also very careful with our food allergies. We areexcited to try out what we learned at home!

Wishing you a fantastic journey through Japan! Thank you for choosing my class—I truly appreciate it. With gratitude, Yuko(^^♪
