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.

Today, we made more than fresh Udon, we made memories. Kimmy led us through making our own Udon with joy and enthusiasm. They had a translation device that made communication easy. Our group of 6 had an amazing time. The area is surrounded by beautiful tea fields in this remote town. I highly recommend this experience.

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.
