My cousin and I had such an amazing lesson making sushi with kazuko. We did the maki and nigiri option and would highly recommend, kazuko had so much knowledge on every ingredient we used and we learnt so much. Kazuko also made us delicious gyozas and a matcha cheesecake to go with our sushi! The whole experience was so fun and will definitely be returning!

We had a great time doing Kaz's sushi cookery course.  It was a fantastic family activity and Kaz made the tasks easy for us to understand.  The food we made was super tasty and there was so much we had it for lunch and dinner!  Would recommend to anyone wanting learn about Japanese food.

Amazing evening learning to make proper ramen. I'll never say it's just ramen ever again! Kasuko shares her respect for ingredients and methods, reminded me of the fantastic food we had in Japan

My partner and I had such a fantastic time on the cookery course! We had loads of fun, felt really welcome and relaxed from the moment we arrived, and the food we cooked was absolutely delicious. It was such a lovely experience and we’d definitely recommend it. Thank you, Kazuko! 😊

My daughter and I had the most wonderful experience attending Kaz’s Japanese Bento Box cooking lesson. From the moment we arrived, Kaz welcomed us into her beautiful home with such genuine hospitality that we instantly felt relaxed and comfortable.

She began with an introduction to the course that included practical insights into gut health, setting the tone for a lesson that was not only enjoyable but genuinely educational. The pace throughout was calm and reassuring, and Kaz was great with my 9‑year‑old daughter — offering age‑appropriate tasks, keeping her engaged, and making her feel confident and involved.

The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and over the three hours we felt we gained a surprising amount of new cooking skills, especially around vegetable preparation. I left with valuable food‑prep advice that will absolutely influence how I cook in the future.

The flavours we created were incredible. My daughter even tried seaweed, edamame beans, and sweetcorn — ingredients she would never have chosen otherwise — and thoroughly enjoyed them.

Overall, it was a truly enriching experience: calm, hands‑on, beautifully taught, and full of practical skills for healthier, more mindful cooking. I would wholeheartedly recommend Kaz’s lesson to anyone looking to learn Japanese cooking in a warm, welcoming environment.

I joined a class with Kazuko after looking for authentic home cooking style classes. I've spent a bit of time in Japan and have always been interested in the food culture so really wanted to learn how to make these dishes myself, not just a western take on them.

I joined the bento class and learned how to make a lot of new things, as well as improving how to make some things I'd tried to make in the past. Kazuko also taught us a lot about how to make food gut friendly both from a microbiome/helpful bacteria way and also how to make some foods lighter (e.g. karaage/fried chicken!) - if that's a particular interest she has a lot of helpful knowledge!

Kazuko is also very helpful in recommending where to source ingredients and cookware, some of which can be a bit fiddlier to get in the UK.

I took the class on my own and both Kazuko and the other students were very friendly and welcoming. It felt like cooking with friends rather than taking a class which was really lovely. She also surprised us with a very delicious yuzu cheesecake at the end, and shared the recipe for us to try at home.

I'd definitely recommend these classes and will be taking more myself in the future!

Sadly the bento box was so yummy and I was so eager to eat it I forgot to take any photos to include 😭

We had a truly wonderful time learning how to make Dorayaki pancakes with Kazuko. She was really friendly and a great teacher.

The meal afterwards was delicious too.

I can’t recommend highly enough!

Had great fun on Kazuko's Temari Festive sushi course today. Learnt how to make sushi rice and then prepared lots of different ingredients to make a variety of sushi balls. We then sat down to eat our sushi along with some miso soup and blueberry and yuzu cheesecake made by Kazuko. It brought back happy memories of my trip to Japan earlier this year. A great experience.
