10000/10 experience

Logan_S, Apr 2026

This was a 10/10 experience the teacher ikuko is one of the nicest people you will ever meet and even with a small language barrier made learning to cook very easy and fun and the food was delicious we only did bento boxes so i can only imagine how good the okonomiyaki is and she had even remembered that my wife was pregnant when I messaged her that over a month before our class this is a very personal and fun experience with a very kind and genuine woman I would highly recommend

So friendly

Kailyn_M, Oct 2025

Absolutely amazing time with Inkuko. She is so sweet and her son Takumi is as well. We made salmon and daishiki rolled omelette. She made everyone feel so comfortable and was an amazing cook. If you want an authentic cooking experience I recommend this place. I wish her lots of success.

Cultural Cooking Class + Sake Tasting

Julian_P, Dec 2024

The best experience I have had across Asia. The host lady is a bundle of joy, wishing to interact as much as possible dispite her limited English -her son was there to help translate. We cooked takoyaki and were guided through each step of the cooking process beautifully, creating the best tasting takoyaki we have ever had. The host lady and her son created a lovely relaxed atmosphere, and we both learnt a lot about cooking and Japanese culture. A definate must do experience.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are thrilled to hear that this was the best experience you had across Asia. It makes us so happy to know that you enjoyed. When you return home, we hope you’ll try making takoyaki again and recreate the flavors and memories of your time here. Happy cooking!
