About Kazuko’s Japanese Table
I was born and raised in Hikone, a city in western Japan. My mother is a talented cook, and she taught me many home cooking techniques. In 2010, my British husband and I moved to Wotton Under Edge, where we lived until 2021, when we moved to Nailsworth.

Chloe Fear2024-04-16Incredible evening with Kazuko who has so much knowledge to give. We spent nearly 3 hours cooking, eating and talking all about Japanese food. The course is very light hearted and fun and done completely at your own pace. Could not recommend highly enough - book her now!
Pippa Leggate2024-04-11Kazuko provided a three course meal and sushi lesson which was both entertaining and delicious. It provided a great insight into Japanese cuisine in an accessible and mouth-watering manner! Would highly recommend this dinner experience.
Sue Wharton2024-04-07What a fantastic experience! Kazuko guided us beautifully through our cookery lesson. We ate well, learned a great deal about authentic ingredients/technique, and had a great time.
Kayleigh2024-04-05Kazuko is the loveliest lady, so easy to talk to and learn from. Her knowledge is extensive and we really appreciated her given us information on the source of the ingredients too as we’d love to make the dish again. The food was delicious, and beautifully presented in her authentic Japanese China bowls. Worth every penny, we look forward to meeting with her again and learning something else :).
Claire Bish2024-03-13A unique experience for my mums Christmas present which didn't disappoint. Through advice and help in making the sushi and it tasted delicious. Everything from start to finish was 10/10! Will be trying the recipes again.
Jim Wilcox2024-03-02Kazuko’s cooking lesson was truly insightful. Her explanations of the health benefits of Japanese cuisine, both physically and mentally, clearly showed her passion and understanding. As a young person, I am especially grateful that Kazuko could share her knowledge with me. I’m sure I’ll carry it with me for a lifetime and use it to make lasting healthy decisions. Not to mention, the food was incredible! The homemade miso paste was like nothing I had ever tasted and each of the other ingredients was carefully selected and valued. I would recommend this mind-opening experience to anyone, especially younger people. Thank you Kaz!
Rachael Locke2024-02-19Kazuko was very knowledgeable and we very much enjoyed her instructions and information about the food. Our meal of miso noodles and Gyoza, with Yuzu cheesecake was delicious !! It was a really fun evening and we feel inspired to try now for ourselves!
Andrew Purkiss2024-02-17Kaz came over and my wife and I did a maki sushi lesson. So much knowledge was shared of how to make amazing sushi rolls. The starter, sushi we made, and dessert were all out of this world! All the ingredients and condiments were top quality, and we will definitely be doing another course in the future. Made for a fantastic date night, in the comfort of our own home. Thank you Kaz for showing us what really good sushi is.
Joel2024-02-13Fantastic experience, highly recommend this for anyone in the area! Kazuko is very knowledgeable & made the evening very fun & has inspired us to try cooking sushi at home.
Olivia Harper2024-02-08Kazuko was absolutely brilliant. She accommodated our request to have the lesson at a different time as it was for a special birthday and so we wanted it on that day, her teaching was brilliant as she talked us through and helped us learn. Everything we needed for the lesson was bought to the house, and the end result of the food was delicious. Would thoroughly recommend, and would definitely do another!
