Wonderful small group experience with 8 people total. Very informative and friendly throughout. They did an exceptional job at teaching us how to actually make sushi. Many classes we’ve taken in the past have really been more hands off or pre-prepared. These ladies did an excellent job! The food was awesome with two rolls, 6 nigiri and miso soup to prepare and eat. Come hungry!

We had such a wonderful time at the ramen and gyoza cooking masterclass with Chef Yoshi Shishido and Amo! The experience was both fun and educational. Both instructors were incredibly friendly, patient, and knowledgeable, guiding us step by step through each stage of the cooking process. We learned so much—not just about making delicious ramen and perfectly folded gyozas, but also about the cultural background and culinary traditions behind them. Preparing the broth, noodles, and dumplings was a truly rewarding experience, and everything turned out absolutely delicious. This was a unique and memorable activity, and we would highly recommend it to anyone who loves Japanese cuisine or is looking for a hands-on, flavorful adventure!
