Fabulous Japanese Omelette & Okonomiyaki Cooking Class - Such a wonderful cooking experience in the chef’s home. Not only did we have a lovely experience making a Japanese omelette and Okonomiyaki, but the chef had such an attention to detail that it made the class even more delightful. I highly recommend this.

Amazing Experience - What a wonderful cooking class. Our host Yayo welcomed us into her home and was such a warm and friendly person. Yayo provided us with instructions and demonstrations on all the meals we cooked as well as information about day to day life in Japan. We cooked so much delicious food. Yayo then provided us all with extremely thoughtful and lovely gifts including chopsticks and paper cranes made from the flags of our home countries…. We highly recommend this tour.

A wonderful experience. Highly recommended. - This was a fantastic experience. To begin, the joining instructions were very easy to follow and we found the meeting point without any fuss. Yayo was delightful and it was such a privilege to go to her home to cook. The experience was entertaining, informative and a real pleasure. The food was also excellent and we not only ate well on the day, but also had lunches for the next two days. We recommend this cookery course without any reservations. It was brilliant.
