Chef Fumiko is amazing! Sh made our steamed bun and pot stickers making class such a fun and memorable experience. She was very friendly, patient, and welcoming from the start, which made everyone feel comfortable, even if it was our first time making. She explained everything clearly step-by-step, from preparing the dough to rolling techniques and presentation. You can tell she is highly knowledgeable and truly passionate about what she teaches. She was also very helpful, always checking on us and giving tips to improve our steamed bun and pot stickers without making anyone feel nervous or rushed. Overall, it was an amazing class and I learned a lot. Arnel

We got a gift certificate and chose to learn to make pot stickers and steamed buns with Fumiko. Fumiko was very knowledgeable and friendly in her private cooking kitchen. We really enjoyed our class and we got to make delicious food.

The recipe for the buns is unique and worked very well. They came out well; very light - including the cinnamon buns. The pot stickers also worked well. The class was well paced and we received copies of the recipes.

We had a great experience with Chef Fumiko. She was extremely knowledgeable, communicative and kind. We did not have any experience preparing sushi and now have the confidence to do it on our own at home. We learned how to prepare the rice for sushi, and we prepared 3 rolls: a cucumber roll, a California roll and a Seattle roll.

Chef Fumiko had everything terrifically organized in her well equipped kitchen. She accommodated our food preferences in her menu. She taught us, included us in the preparations and had well documented, easy to read recipes for us to take home. Her experience and professionalism shine through. Highly recommend. Alsoâ€¦ the food was fresh and delicious! Thank you Chef Fumiko.

My fiancÃ©e Riley and I had an incredible time cooking and learning from Chef Fumiko. The kitchen was great, she guided us really well through the menu, and offered helpful suggestions for how we can continue our learning with Japanese vegan cuisine. I also appreciated how Chef Fumiko made the experience accessible. I am hard of hearing and wear a hearing aid, so places with a lot of background noise, etc. can be difficult for me. It meant SO MUCH that Chef Fumiko had speakers set up around the kitchen and used a headset microphone. I didn't have to lean on Riley to repeat things I'd missed, so I got to really just enjoy the experience overall. Absolutely would recommend this experience for others!

First time doing a cooking class and we LOVED it. Chef Fumiko was great - was very hands on to making sure we were successful and provided a wealth of knowledge (both cooking tips + history on what we were making). 10/10 will repeat.

Our group had a wonderful time making sushi with Chef Kumiko! Covid has obviously made doing group activities difficult and we were originally planned to do ours in January 2021. We felt uncomfortable with all the restrictions and Chef Fumiko was soooo accommodating to ensure we could make the best of the situation. We learned a lot about the proper methods to making authentic sushi, where we should get fish locally, and preferred ways of rolling and mixing ingredients. We look forward to trying again our on own using her guidance and techniques!

Fumiko provided us with a fun, informative, and relaxed environment for our first sushi-making experience. This class was a great date night, and Fumiko went above and beyond in her flexibility, answering questions, and giving us some fun ideas to try at home. We highly recommend taking a class with her, and hope we can take another class with Fumiko in the future!

Chef Fumiko was extremely knowledgeable and sweet. This was a wonderful date night. I especially loved how she found ways to still teach us certain aspects of cooking while finding ways to save time so I still felt like I properly learned the whole process, even though she did some of the prep work.

Chef Fumiko was obviously an expert on the subject of sushi and related Japanese style food (she made a tasty miso soup from scratch while we were there). She was well prepared for the class and provided extensive notes regarding materials, procedures, recipes, and details about various items used (or that could be used) in making sushi roles. It was a fun 'hands on' class. The best was enjoying the results of our labors at the end! We are inspired to make our own sushi at home. My hat's off to this chef!

We had a wonderful experience with Chef Fumiko! She taught us the proper way to make sushi rice and gave tons of great tips on where to source the right ingredients. She has a great teaching style that is easy to follow and made sure we went home with instructions so we could replicate what we learned later on. A fantastic date night or holiday gift idea!

We had a great time making vegan food with Fumiko! This was only my second cooking class (my wife has done more than me), so I didn't know what to expect. Fumiko's space works really well. She is very organized. At each step of the way, we did a lot of the prep and then was able to do the cooking after watching Fumiko do it first. Fumiko is a wealth of knowledge and answered all the questions we had at each step of the way (and is very patient with people who are not that experienced in the kitchen, such as myself). My wife mentioned that in cooking classes she's done in the past, a lot of times the food is "cooking class quality" whereas the food we made here was "restaurant quality." We bought LOVED the food -- and we made so much that there was a lot to take home for leftovers. Definitely something we would do again!
