Fukuoka 料理教室

This class was so fun! Our hosts were very welcoming and very kind. We made the food all together and it was nice to see what a family would normally eat in Japan. The food was delicious and they gave us lots of good tips for our future Fukuoka travels!

It was a great learning experience for pur group. We had wanted to learn maki sushi rolling for quite a long time and this experience fulfilled our desire. Tamae was a wonderful instructor and husband Hiroki was always there to support and coach our group. We enjoyed and appreciated their warm hospitality. It is so special when people open up their homes and hearts to share with others.

My daughter and I had a lovely cooking session with Sayaka in mid February 2026. I was gifted the lessons as a birthday present and Sayaka contacted me early to choose the 4 dishes we would learn how to cook. We choose udon noodles, gyoza, omurice and pork tonkatsu. The lessons took place in Sayaka's lovely apartment in Fukuoka; the apartment was easily accessible by train. Sayaka is really lovely and speaks English well so there was no communication issues. She is a terrific cook and provided very good written instructions on all the items we made. Sayaka had decorated the dining table beautifully with fresh foliage and gorgeous table ware. I would definitely recommend Sayaka's cooking class

This cooking class for my fiancé’s birthday was an amazing experience! The husband greeted us with kindness and respect and welcomed us into his beautiful home. His wife was waiting and excited to teach us how to make Sushi ! The food menu was good and it included Sushi, miso soup, vegetable tempura, fresh fruit and even a small treat and a birthday candle for my fiancé’. He was appreciative & very grateful ! You get up an up close & personal cooking lesson and we loved it ! We would definitely recommend the experience at a 10/10 and encourage others to book !

We had a lovely afternoon learning Japanese recipes (some favorites and some easy new recipes). The home was close to the station and we were able to go through the grocery store looking at products we used, fresh fruits, meat, and fish. This was the first time we went to a person's house and we could not be happier with the experience.

This was such a a lovely way to be welcomed to Fukuoka! I was especially excited to learn how to make Hiroshima style okonomiyaki. The conversation was great and we even got to practice quite a bit of our Japanese! It really felt like we were at a friend's home and I think that was a special experience. Highly recommend if you like to cook and want a true local experience!

Lovely welcome into their home. Even though their english was a little limited, and our japanese non-existent, this did not stop it from being a unique experience. Thank you Hiroki and Tamae

Just like how i wished it to be. Kind Japanese couple welcoming me into their lovely home. Thank you for the experience and stories. Hope you have more topics Tamae and Hiroki-san!

We were welcomed into a beautiful home by a wonderful couple. She explained bento and onigiri before diving into the how-to. The process was surprisingly simple but something you can't learn on your own. We also fell in love with the square pan used for rolled eggs. After cooking, she showed us how to make onigiri and assemble the bento box, giving us lots of ingredient options based on our preferences. Afterwards, we ate what we made, along with traditional sweets and tea. A bonus was a pot of pour over coffee in the backyard in the shade. Can't say enough how wonderful of an experience it was, as English speakers we got along just fine. We left full and she even wrapped up what we couldn't eat! Favorite day spent in Japan.

First off thank you Hiroki and Tamae for allowing us into you beautiful home, we had good fun and the session we very informative and the food was excellent to go with it. For anyone else who's looking to book this experience: It is highly recommended, my partner and I had an exceptional time and learnt a lot. Easy to get to if your staying near an underground station and good bus links as well. Not far from Ohori park which is lovely to go through to walk off your meal afterwards.

I enjoyed taking the maki sushi class. Hiroki & Tamae is a really nice couple. I had fun cooking and chatting with them! I enjoyed eating our finished products together and shared our own cooking experience. I look forward to cook what I have learnt for my family and friends. Also to share my cooking experience with them.

The nicest couple. So welcoming and kind. Made it easy to understand and good level of hands on interaction. Food was delicious and learned some new techniques! Highly recommended!!!
