We had an amazing time in this class. We learned how to make three great dishes but also learned so much about the culture of Japan! I had a great time and will be taking everything I learned with me. THANK YOU!

We had a fantastic time with Ayako’s cooking class. One of the other guests canceled last minute, so it ended up being a private class for just my wife and me—an unexpected bonus.

The class took place in the cozy comfort of Ayako’s home, which made the whole experience feel warm and personal. She taught us how to make several delicious home-cooked dishes, shared practical tips, and explained techniques clearly. We left feeling more confident, and we’re excited to bring these ideas into our Japanese cooking at home.

Another highlight was the neighborhood. It’s peaceful and very local, with charming bakeries, convenient supermarkets, and a lovely park with a pond. We enjoyed strolling around both before and after the class. The location is also excellent—right by a subway station—so it was easy to find and access.

Overall, highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic, hands-on Japanese cooking experience in a welcoming setting.

Es war ein wunderschönes Event mit einer extrem herzlichen und lieben Gastgeberin. Wir haben uns durchgehend sehr wohl gefühlt, es war super organisiert, wir haben viel gelernt aber auch super viel Spaß gehabt. Ganz besonders toll war die Gelegenheit zum kulturellen Austausch! Wir konnten uns sehr gut einfühlen in das tatsächliche Leben in Japan. Das Kochen selbst war wahnsinnig spaßig, lehrreich und am Ende super lecker!

It was a lovely experience, great food and wonderful conversation, I am currently learning Japanese, and this was excellent practice, Ayako is a great teacher all around!
