Emi was a really good cooking teacher. She welcomed us in her apartment and showed us how to cook 3 dishes that we chose. Everything was perfect and especially the discussion about Japanese when we washed the dishes

Very great experience. You are allowed to pick the items to cook, and she will have portions set out ahead of time. She provided great instructions, as well as providing cultural knowledge.

This was a delightful evening! Emi met us at the agreed place even though traffic made us 15 minutes late and took us on a short walk to her apartment. Everything was clean and well organized. We learned to cook ginger pork, tempura and gyōzas. She instructed and demonstrated but we did all the prep. The cooking area is small so she and I cooked and my husband watched and took pictures. We prepared food for two but had way too much and asked her to eat with us. It was delicious! Emi arranged for a taxi before we started and it came on time. She walked us out and made sure the driver knew where to take us. It's a great experience for 2 or 3 people and was a fun adventure on a free evening on our tour.

Me and my friend visited a cooking class hosted by Emi, she was lovely, very sociable, funny and most importantly- the food was great. We both didn't know where the time went as time flew by! She created a pleasant atmosphere with music, laughter and she was very kind to all of our mistakes :) We cooked salmon with hijiki seaweed (highly recommend!), gyoza and miso soup. Also. later in the day I lost my wallet and Emi stayed in touch with me giving some tips on how to find it. I personally give her a big thanks for that! P.S. the wallet was later found!!!

Emi is highly knowledgeable and friendly. You will gain valuable knowledge and insight into Japanese food and also get hands on experience in making it. We made 3 dishes all of which were amazing and we left full :)

We had a wonderful time with Emi. She made us feel very welcome in her home and we had a relaxing and fun time cooking with her. I walked away with lots of useful tips for some of my favourite dishes and the meal we all shared at the end was delicious. Really happy with our experience, emi couldn’t have been kinder.

Emi is a great hostess and instructor. She is warm, very welcoming and gracious. She checked on our preferences before the class. She explained all of the dishes and walked us through the process. It was definitely hands on and we learned how to create a simple and delicious meal using just a few ingredients and good planning. I definitely recommend her class if you want to take home a great memory and some cool recipes!

Emi's class was fun and informative! She was an excellent host, and all of the recipes were so delicious. My friend and I were grateful she could accommodate our dietary restrictions (I am pescatarian and my friend can't eat egg). I would definitely recommend Emi's class!

I truly cannot recommend Emi’s cooking class enough! It was such a unique and unforgettable experience to learn to cook Japanese dishes in a Japanese home with a Tokyo local like Emi. She is so patient and her English is great. She is detailed in her methods and teaches you to be the same way. The food was outstanding and the company was wonderful. We made fried salmon with seaweed and edamame, shrimp gyozas, and tuna onigiri. My friend Jasmine and I had such a great time eating and talking with Emi. This is an experience that you absolutely can’t miss if you come to Tokyo!

We had a wonderful evening with Emi and enjoyed it so much. We learned a lot from her - Not only but especially regarding the Japanese cuisine, art and music. She is very special and adorable. Her English is perfect and makes communication so easy. It is so interesting to see a Japanese home, too. We hope a lot of other guests will have the same wonderful evening. We will not forget this amazing experience and hope to see Emi again! Thanks again!

What a pleasent and tasty experience! Emi is a wonderful host and cooking teacher. We cooked the gyoza, okonomiyaki and the salmon from high quality ingredients with clear instructions. Totemo oishii!! Emi was also kind enough to pick us up from a local metro station as well as to walk us back and to a super market to buy some local ingredients. Highly recommended home cooking experience 😊

Emi was wonderful. Her home was such a warm, cozy environment (an escape from the chaos of Tokyo). She took great care of us. She also found the right balance and pace between teaching us cooking techniques and producing a big, delicious meal!

The atmosphere was amazing! Emi is very friendly and is such a great host. She answered questions outside of cooking and made it one of the most personal experiences me and my wife were able to get during our stay in Tokyo. Not to mention the food is amazing.

Emi was a brilliant host for the cooking class. She is warm, funny and told us lots of interesting things about Japanese culture and food. She was accommodating to requests we had and even recommended a cake shop to buy something for my brother's birthday. The food was delicious. Would definitely recommend this class!

If you’re questioning whether you should book Emi’s class, just go ahead and do it! We had the best time learning how to make some Japanese recipes with Emi. We chose the tonkatsu, okonomiyaki and Gyoza and they all tasted amazing. It was especially fun learning how to fold the Gyoza. Emi was also a great teacher and host, she gave us many recommendations around Japan and made good conversation with us. It was refreshing to see her genuinely interested in where we were from. I will definitely be using the recipes at home and I can’t wait to try and recreate them. I can only hope I do them justice! The only thing I would like to see different is perhaps having an option for whether or not we could cook by the stove? We did ask and Emi allowed us to do so but perhaps having it as a mentioned option would be great! I know different people would have different priorities. Thank you again Emi for the wonderful experience! We wish you all the best.

Emi is simply wonderful. She communicated so well with us, both prior and on the day of our cooking class. She greeted us at the train station and walked us back to her home. The cooking class was great and our meal cooked was simply delicious and authentic Japanese cuisine. Definitely do this class, it is a worthwhile and fantastic afternoon enjoyed with a kind, friendly, and passionate lady.
