Great experience of cooking Japanese food with Yoshiko

Yulia_G, Oct 2026

We went to have a Japanese cooking class with Yoshiko at her house (4 people). The experience was perfect. Starting from the pleasant atmosphere and the friendly, funny and knowledgeable host Yoshiko and ending with the great food that she taught us to make and made for us. We learned many great techniques and recipes and will definitely try everything at home. We also had a great time talking to Yoshiko and learning about the culture. We also took home some gyoza and sushi sandwich. Great experience both educational and culinary.

Wonderful experience learning about authentic Japanese food in a friendly setting

Nicky_D, Aug 2026

This is a unique experience to learn about Japanese food with a really friendly, knowledgeable host. We're actually local but I was looking for a somewhere to experiment with Japanese cuisine as my son really loves Japanese food and wanted to cook some dishes as part of his GCSE coursework (and I've never really cooked it myself). This was perfect as Yoshiko adapted the session to cook things we were interesting, but accessible and we got to try 3 dishes, and also pick her brains more widely about Japanese cuisine in London and Tokyo. There was also enough delicious food for us to take over leftovers home for a second meal so I feel it was pretty good value! Two meals and a lesson in one. I've already recommended it to friends who are interested in Japanese food and we might return again to learn new dishes as the first thing my son asked as we left was "can we go back again sometime?"

Amazing experience!

Yoshiko was brilliant, she was extremely friendly and made a huge effort throughout. We were asked what kind of food we’d like to learn to cook and any meat preferences. Yoshiko went the extra mile, making side plates, giving us Japanese beer and tea, and even baking a Japanese cheesecake. We also got sent the recipes for everything after and also, Yoshiko sent me some tea home as I liked it a lot! Couldn’t recommend this more - thanks again Yoshiko!!
