Very enjoyed this cooking class. The host is most accomodating and knowledgible. Even though I had already tried my hands on Japanese Curry, I could learn plenty of new things. Also the sesame pickled green beans were delicious.

Such a wonderful experience at Yuma Washoku Studio with Yuki! The class was clean, organized, and easy to follow, and the katsu curry was absolutely delicious. I loved learning new techniques I can actually use at home. On top of that, the atmosphere was so warm and personable. It made the whole experience feel extra special. Highly recommend!

This class totally surpassed our expectations! From the excellent directions on how to find the location to the warm welcome and some refreshments from Yuki, we were off to a great start! Yuki started off with a bit of history around katsu and then explained all the different steps. She is terrific fun, speaks excellent English and kept the whole family busy making the different components of this dish which happens to be my husband’s favourite! Throughout the class Yuki explained about the set up of Japanese kitchens, buying produce, special kitchen tools, etc— loads of helpful tips. Everything is immaculate and super well organised — in no time we were sitting down to a delicious meal we had made! Could not recommend this class more highly!
Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review! I’m so happy to hear the class exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed both the cooking and the cultural experience. It was a pleasure having your family, and I’m especially glad your husband enjoyed his favorite dish! Hope you’ll recreate it at home, and I’d love to welcome you back anytime 😊
