This was a wonderful experience. We enjoyed making our own lunch as a family accomodating our need for GF food. Our host was so generous and kind. We were able to get recommendations for other GF places to eat. We are looking forward to cooking our ramen at home.

Our girls, aged 12 and 14 had a fantastic time with Ayumi! They made gyoza and ramen and loved it. They say they can't wait to make it for us. They said Ayumi was a great teacher, patient and friendly. The food was delicious. Ayumi also thoughtfully emailed us the morning of the class given some heavy rain. Highly recommend.

The Yakitori cooking class with Michiko Numato was an amazing experience and exceeded our expectations! I am a Japanese Canadian tourist and always wanted to learn how to cook Yakitori. Although there were other cooking classes, we chose Michiko since the class was taught in her home kitchen and provided a true home cooking experience that gave me the confidence to be able to cook Yakitori in our own kitchen. Michiko is very knowledgeable and a wonderful teacher. Her patience and enthusiasm has provided a novice cook like myself the motivation to cook as soon as we return home from our vacation. Indeed, Michiko is passionate about Japanese food and enjoys teaching others how to cook! We will recommend her to our friends and relatives who will travel to Japan and we will try Michiko’s other classes on our next vacation!

We were met on time at Cora Coffee. Her class was set up nicely in her home. She spoke wonderful English and answered all our questions. She was very encouraging in our attempts and onigiri and Japanese only making ability or lack thereof. The food was wonderful. I would highly recommend this for anyone who loves Japanese food.

Chef Chiaki is a very personable trainer who met us on time at the agreed point; despite what she says, she is proficient in English which made it a lot easier too. She demonstrated a good knowledge of the products we were going to use, and what may be available in Australia. She was able to tell us which alternatives could be available (if the originals are not). The Udon noodles were so easy to make, and it was all over oh-so-quickly. Thank you Chiaki for a lovely and educational morning.
