My husband and I attended the sushi making class. It was extremely informative and we learned SO MUCH. Chef was very patient and extremely knowledgeable about the history of sushi making and the whole process of sushi-making. We were there for almost 4 hours and standing the whole time. So eat beforehand bc you wonâ€™t be eating until around 8:30-9ish. Highly recommend this experience!

My family (myself, spouse, 2 adult children) took the Tokyo Style Ramen class from Chef Shenya. Chef Shenya is an excellent teacher and very passionate. We learned so much during the class and appreciated his ability to share his knowledge and insights so effectively. Some of the things that really impressed me were: 1. A quality ramen broth takes significant time to prepare. Chef Shenya demonstrated the process and explained what was happening and what to expect. Each member of the class inspected and sampled the ramen broth at different stages and as new ingredients were added. We were literally able to see and taste the flavors developing at each sampling. 2. Chef Shenya explained the importance of quality ingredients and where to obtain them in this area. We have struggled to find the right ramen ingredients and now we know exactly where to look and what to get! 3. Chef Shenya shared his favorite restaurants both in this local area as well as in Tokyo. It is so nice to have this information. I would recommend this class to ramen lovers and groups of ramen lovers. Our class was 6 people and so much fun!

The cooking class with Chef Shinya was excellent! His explanations were very thorough and easy to follow. The food was delicious, and the cultural background he gave on udon and its many varieties was great. After Shinya's cooking class I feel like I can add homemade udon into my regular rotation of dinner recipes. It was a really fun night, and I would highly recommend his classes!

Even before we started our in-person ramen experience, Chef Shinya was very timely and helpful in providing information upon request. We wanted to make the most out of the 3-hr session and was able to prepare by watching a few short, but notable documentaries on the history of ramen. On the day of the cooking class, we showed up at Chef Shinya's home and everything was nicely prepared in advance (e.g. having both fresh chasu / pork to prepare in person but also some ready made for consumption due to the time it takes to marinate appropriately). Me and my SO were the only two guests, and he explained each step of the process very clearly, from making Ajitsuke Tamago to all the ins and outs of using the optimal ramen noodle and creating the soup base (we had Tokyo style ramen), I came away from the session with a much deeper perspective about the art of ramen. I will never see another bowl of ramen in the same light! When we were able to finally enjoy the ramen towards the end of the session, Chef Shinya set up a nice ambience for me and my SO and gave us additional Chasu pork to enjoy. Would highly recommend this session to anyone looking to better understand ramen!

Chef Shinya was extremely knowledgable and hospitable, and we all had a great time making the most delicious udon noodles. Kneading the noodle dough the traditional way (with feet!) was an unexpected highlight. The fried tofu (a vegetarian substitution) was incredible with a chunky sesame seed sauce that I can't wait to replicate. Overall, this was a wonderful cooking and learning experience.

We had so much fun with Chef Shinya - we got to learn about not only how to cook ramen (which was delicious) but also the history of ramen and the importance of the ingredients. Chef Shinya is full of interesting stories from his career that made the experience very engaging, plus he is just a very positive and kind person that makes you feel at ease while in his kitchen. Would recommend his ramen course to anyone and look forward to scheduling one of his other courses soon!

Chef Shinya is welcoming, accompdating, and fun! His class is incredibly interesting, yet easy to follow. I walked away feeling more than ready to make sushi on my own. My girlfriend, who already knows how to make sushi, found the class to be essential in helping her hone the cradt as well. All of his ingredients are either freshly bought or homemade too! I recommend Chef Shinya to anyone of any skill level looking for a fun, educational night with lots of quality sushi!

We took the class as a family with our two 10 year old daughters who love sushi and wanted to learn more. They ate a TON of food and really enjoyed being a part of the process. He adapted the menu for them and was SO patient with fidgety kiddos. We now feel comfortable making our own rolls of multiple kinds in our own home. Thank you, Chef!!!
