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!

Wonderful experience! This was my family’s favorite activity we did the whole 10-day trip. So fun and interactive with a delish full meal for each person at the end that you made yourselves! Friendly for any level cooking experience. Couldn’t recommend more.

This was a great way to spend a few hours. Tami and Fumi were so friendly! Really knowledgable guides to help with our first experience ever making sushi. Not to forget that the food we made was so delicious! It was definitely worth the price.
