We had such a fabulous time with Fumi- we learnt lots of really useful cooking skills, to make authentic sushi and other Japanese food then followed by a delicious dinner which was extremely filling. We would recommend this to our friends and wish we had more time to do other classes with Fumi! Thank you !

Fun & Informative

Kristen_G, Mar 2025

This class was 10/10. Our family of 4 with 2 teenagers and 2 parents enjoyed every bit! We learned how to make nigiri, rolls, miso soup, and chicken satay. The class took about 2.5 hours which is pretty on par with other cooking classes we've done. Of course the best part was interacting with the instructors and eating our hard work. :)

A MUST DO!!!

Mikel_A, Dec 2024

What a lovely evening! I went alone and I was a bit nervous because I know most of these experiences are done by couples or groups, but I had a lovely time! The ladies are so interesting, funny and knowledgeable! I would definitely do it again!

Great Sushi Lesson!

Gregory_S, Oct 2024

Fumi was an outstanding instructor! I learned so much. We even made miso soup from scratch. I highly recommend this course!

Nice sushi class

Katia_V, Oct 2024

The experience was really nice. The products were fresh. We learned how to cook miso soup, sushi, maki and chicken yakitori. In my opinion the recipe we receive at the end are a little light. The instruction and steps are not all fully mentioned there. Also, the location meeting point is a bit tricky. It is on the second floor of a building but there is no indication of that anywhere. We struggle a lot to find the right place.

Fantastic

Jim_D, Jun 2024

Fantastic. Very informative and encouraging. Our whole family loved it. Would highly recommend as an event and night out.

Very fun experience!

Logan_S, Jun 2024

Making the sushi and miso soup and learning about the history of the dishes was so much fun! Fumi made the experience even better too! She was so fun and made sure everyone was involved in everything.

Exceeded my expectations!

Great Experience

Alexandra_H, Apr 2023

Fumi was a fantastic teacher who involved every person in the group and was extremely informative. She has amazing attention to detail and made everyone a successful chef for the night! She also teaches you a little cultural background about each dish you make.

The highlight of our Osaka trip

ADAM_E, Mar 2023

Taking this class with Fumi was a highlight of our trip to Osaka! She is such a good teacher and so nice! We learned to make Miso Soup, yakitori chicken and multiple types of sushi! The best part was eating it all at the end! It was a 5 star Japanese meal, and WE made it! Thank you Fumi!!!

High value class, Yummy food

Great Sushi Cooking Class Experience

L L, Aug 2019

We had a wonderful experience learning the fundamentals of making a full course sushi meal thanks to Fumi and her assistant. Fumi taught us how to properly make, from scratch, an awesome plate of Nigiri sushi, Gunkan Maki, Maki sushi, tofu miso soup, and chicken yakitori. We learned how to season and roll the sushi rice with our bare hands. We learned how to make the tamagoyaki which is a Japanese rolled omelette using a small rectangular pan that makes it easier to shape and roll the omelette, layer by layer. Fumi did a great job teaching us how to roll the seaweed to make the maki course. She also taught us how to make the tofu miso soup which rivals the ones we’ve had in restaurants. Finally, she taught us how to make the chicken yakitori by marinading the chicken meat and putting them onto skewers and then grilling them. We literally learned how to make a full course meal which was awesome and it tasted great. Fumi and her assistant were very professional, profoundly polite, extremely friendly and impeccably patient. All of these qualities made our experience a wonderful one. When we got back home, we were able to recreate the meal at home and it was great practice. All in all, we had a wonderful experience learning the art and science of making a sushi course. We would highly recommend this Sakura Cook course to Osaka visitors. Thank you Fumi!

Response from Host, Aug 2019

Thank you for the wonderful review! We are very happy to share the “sushi course” with you. There are a lot of points to learn in this course, but you've gone through the whole process enthusiastically. Please enjoy cooking Japanese food from now on. We look forward to seeing you again next time you visit Japan. Fumi

Amazing class with amazing teacher

Анна К, Aug 2019

I was absolutely enjoying my class with Fumi :) It turned out I was only one participant and it made my experience even more unique :) Fumi provided all information about cooking processes as well as some background knowledge about umami or bonito et cetera, I had no idea what it were before. We spend time together, cooking meals step by step in friendly and convenient environment. Now I can cook miso soup, teppanyaki chicken and sushi and it turned out to be pretty easy to me :) Thanks a lot to Fumi for that great time and for amazing dessert I took on my flight home and it was amazing!

Response from Host, Aug 2019

Thank you for the lovely review! I'm excited to know that you are making the menu you've mastered in this class right away! I look forward to seeing you again. Fumi
