Private Japanese Cooking Class in Sapporo with Local Host Kanae

Kanae ran a fun cooking class where I got to learn how to make dumplings. I also appreciate all the recommendations she gave for places to eat and shop in Sapporo. Cooking and chatting with Kanae was one of the best parts of visiting Sapporo!

It was such a fun experience to be in Kanae's home and experience a home cooked meal with her. It was me, my wife, my 12 year old, and my four-year-old. The kids weren't much help with lunch, and she was fine to have them watch tv while we tried to learn how to make a few Japanese dishes. We took copious notes and have since made some of the dishes at home with ingredients available in the U.S. One of the many highlights of our time in Hokkaido.

The cooking class was excellent! It was personalised as Kanae asked beforehand if there was anything in particular we wanted to try. We chose to make a stew along with vegatables dishes and miso. Kanae was very attentive and answered our many questions! It was really great doing the class in a real famly kitchen.

We had a most lovely time with Kanae, she is a great chef and a great host. She taught us how to make udon from scratch and how to make tasty crunchy tempura. We then sat down and at it all!

We had a great time with Kanae. She picked us up right on time and it was a short drive to her house. My wife is vegetarian. We let Kanae know a head of time and she tailored the menu for us. It was delicious! We would definitely do it again on our next trip!

Kanae is such a sweet and wonderful host and great cook. She’s nice to talk to as well. I’m so glad to have signed up for this class. It feels more like meeting up with an old friend. Thankful for this session which wraps up the end of my trip nicely. ❤️

Jessie at Super eight in Redmond Oregon 3629 SW 21st Place was Super Duper! Cheery and quick and helpful. She deserves a raise! She's worth it and More! Just delightful help! I wanted to hug her she was sooo nice! Gave us "the skinny" got us a ride from the airport and treated us like royalty.She won my loyalty to Super 8 Wyndham in Redmond Oregon! Just got here what a great start to our journey to have such a lovely nice person helping us! She got us all set up and spent time explaining things even though her shift was almost over! Kudos to her Super 8 is blessed to have her! (And we are not related although I'd LIKE to claim her)

My son and I had a wonderful time with Maeda-san! She picked us up at the train station and drove us to her home to learn how to make home-style hokkaido corn butter Ramen. She is a lovely person and we enjoyed the whole experience of spending time with her and learning to cook. Highly recommend!

Kanae was a fantastic host. We learned a lot about local Japanese cuisine and had a lot of fun cooking with her. Would definitely recommend it! Kanae, thank you for inviting us into your home and a perfect evening!

Kanea was a excellent hostess. She took us on a tour of the Nijo Market and then back to home. There she shared recipes and cooked a wonderful lunch of Japanese favorites. While this transpired, we had great conversation about Japanese cultural, her family, and time while a student in the U.S. Awesome experience
