Kanazawa : Sushi & Japanse Koken op een 56 - Jaar Kookschool

We wanted to thank Chef Suiji once more for an unforgettable night! You truly gave us the best experience in Japan so far! We enjoyed it so, so, so much and we will never forget it.From the very first moment, Chef Suiji welcomed us into his kitchen as friends and made us feel completely at home. He is an incredible entertainer—so funny, engaging, and enthusiastic! It is a fully hands-on experience where he keeps you constantly involved, making you do so many things yourself.What makes it truly special is his deep competence. Chef Suiji doesn't just show you how to cook; he explains the deeper meaning behind every step, the history of the culture, and the secrets of the traditional ingredients. We learned so much, had a blast, and of course, ate A LOT OF AMAZING FOOD! 🤩 Thanks for doing what you do and for spreading your authentic culture and passion. It is incredibly precious for people visiting Japan!!! ありがとうございました! — Christian & Mirko ✨

We had an absolutely wonderful time here. The chef uses a live translation app, which makes communication very easy. Only fresh, high-quality ingredients are used for the dishes you prepare. Best of all, you get to enjoy everything you made afterwards. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun and delicious time!

We came as a family of 6. The workshop was great, the chef and his wife are adorable, they are very attentive to each of the participants. They speak a little English and have a very advanced translator that they use during the cooking class which makes communication easy. The atmosphere is very warm, we learn to cook typical Japanese dishes in a good mood and with laughter. On the menu four iconic dishes from Japanese restaurants including sushi. Vegetarian options are available but you must notify in advance by message or by call. At the end of the workshop, everyone tastes what they have prepared and receives a diploma with their name in Japanese! I recommend it a thousand times! Thanks again for this wonderful moment!

Chef Seiji is the best! Perfect balance of demonstration and hands-on. Food is delicious and I was very full! Also enjoyed learning cultural aspects about Japan. The AI translation was a big help - communication was fine. Highly recommend!

First of all I did not want to attend, but finally gave in and went with wifey. It was awesome… had so much fun and experience was great. Had a great meal after we prepared it ourselves along with some sake of course. Don’t miss out on this one.

This Japanese cooking class was an absolute highlight of my trip to Japan! The hosts Chef Nakata and his wife were incredibly nice and welcoming, and you can expect to have a lot of fun and a lot of laughs in this cooking class. I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for an enjoyable yet also informative food experience in Kanazawa. The translate tool the chef uses to translate from Japanese to English significantly aids in understanding what you are actually doing, and is also quite funny at times! I am a terrible cook, but I would strongly recommend this for beginner or moderate levels cooks who want to learn some new skills! An extremely personable and friendly experience, I left with a pack of Pokemon cards and burgeoning knife skills so I highly recommend this experience to everyone!

Seiji and Ikum welcomed us into their home and tested us to our favorite night on our trip to Japan. We were traveling as two families of 4 (parents and 2 teenage kids each) and it was the perfect family experience! Their kitchen and class set up were impeccable, their teaching style good for all levels, and the food was outstanding. We cooked, we learned, we laughed. We left full and happy with certificates in Japanese cooking. More importantly, we left with mew friends in Kanazawa. Highly recommended-do not miss this experience!

Seiji and Ikum were incredible teachers and hosts, brining humor, warmth, and a whole array of Japanese cooking techniques. Our time with them was the singular highlight of our time in Japan, and everyone came away with even more connection and appreciation for the care, ingenuity, and flavors of Kanazawa. This is a must-book experience!

We had a great evening making and eating great food. Along with my wife and I there were 2 other couples in the class. Even though this was in a knife shop there was no attempted selling. The Chef spoke pretty good English but used a translation device so everyone, English and French could understand the instructions. Would highly recommend.

This experience was one of our favorite of our whole Japan trip! We learned so much and to top it off got to eat the delicious creations! They also sell high quality Japanese knives at a good value. They took photos of us and shared at the end and were so kind and patient with our novice skills. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone!
