Amazing and fun
241nayelir, May 2026
Wonderful experience. Ms.Katsumi was fun and taught us a lot about Japanese culture, table manners and history. She has an amazing sense of humor. Will be coming back for other classes. She also offers other classes that are not listed on her site. Will be booking directly through her next time!

Fun Japanese Food Class
L4876YHdavida, August 2025
Mori was a wonderful teacher. She has a great sense of humor and the time we spent in her kitchen flew by. We learned how to hold chopsticks and about all the different types of rice. She showed us the true Japanese ingredients to use and where to purchase them to make authentic Japanese food. We made 4 dishes that were all amazing. Also educated us on proper rice cookers that are a must. We even made a cake in the rice cooker that was so moist and delicious. Highly recommend.

Fun & Educational
Robertsghs, March 2025
Mori taught us how to hold chopsticks and the intricacies of Japanese etiquette while we enjoyed preparing and eating a ramen appetizer followed by preparing and eating a curry stew with rice. It was all new to me and absolutely delicious. We followed up the appetizer and main dish with cake she prepared in a rice cooker.
I think the trick to making this a wonderful experience is booking with a fun group.

Emiliano_R, January 2025
My girlfriend and I had a great time. We learned to cook 3 entrees and one dessert. Mori sensei also made us some delicious Miso Soup. Mori sensei was very funny and lighthearted and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the experience. She not only taught us how to make each dish, but provided some knowledge behind the ingredients and the historical context for them as well. I learned that she offers various cooking classes so I will definitely be booking again in the future.

Learned new cooking techniques along with proper etiquette when using chopsticks. The food was tasty. Now we have suggestions for brands and types of food to look for at the specialty grocery store.
