My cooking lesson with Yuka was perfect! She was very organized, her instructions were very clear, and time was well managed. The food I learned to make was delicious and easy enough that I feel confident I can make it again when I return home, and no now I have the recipes she gave me to help. I’m very happy with my experience.

What a wonderful experience! Everything was clearly explained and conducted in a friendly and welcoming environment. It was a real learning experience, and you got to eat your handiwork when you were finished. The host explained and demonstrated everything first and then let's you do it on your own. Very authentic and highly recommended!

We had an excellent time at the Izakaya cooking class. The teachers were kind, thorough, and very entertaining. I would not hesitate to book another class here or to suggest it to friends and family. I think it was a nice touch to dress up in the employee uniform as well!
