Wonderful experience! - What a lovely experience! Mana and her husband were gracious, patient, and friendly. Mana had all the ingredients ready to go, and had all the necessary tools for our family of four. It was so interesting to be in her home and see the different types of equipment for the kitchen. Her food looked beautiful and we have a much better appreciation for the amount of time that goes into preparation. My gyoza looked like a 7 year old folded it, but it, along with our sushi rolls and miso soup tasted delicious. Have fun! We certainly did!

Relaxed and fun with a bonus of delicious food! - Mana was very kind and friendly, we had a great time and learnt a lot. We even had a good giggle over some of the more interestingly shaped gyoza. The food was absolutely delicious and we were guided effortlessly to make an array of great food! Thank you so much for an amazing experience, Mana!

Amazing and relaxed Sushi cooking experience. Highly recommended - This was a fantastic experience. It was relaxed and casual in a Japanese home. Mana was the perfect hostess and speaks very good English. We opted for the sushi set and made a miso soup with traditional ingredients, California rolls and little sushi. The flavour of the sushi rice was the best I have ever tasted. We also mastered the skills of making Japanese omelette which was used inside the California rolls. Mana is a fantastic teacher, very calm and patient and because it's a small group, you come away feeling confident in your skills. We can't wait to try out the recipes when we get home. Such an enjoyable experience and really hands-on. Highly recommended
