Temari & Maki Sushi Making Class in Asakusa (Tokyo)
Cooking Classes
This cooking class has been an absolute highlight of our time in Japan! As a first-timer, Saeko was an excellent instructor with remarkable talent and a fantastic setup. The experience was incredibly authentic, and the flavors of the food were simply amazing. I'm still amazed at what I was able to create! I'm eagerly anticipating recreating these beautiful Japanese dishes at home using the recipes she provided. Highly recommended!
