Cooking Class - Japanese Dumplings and More in South Seattle

Chef Shinya was amazing! He was welcoming and friendly and full of all sorts of information that helped enhance the experience. Of course the food was amazing, but he made the whole event enjoyable as well! We’ll definitely take another class in the future!

This was such a fun and eye-opening class! I'm going to be honest when I say there are several items I struggle with cooking and dumplings are one of them. Even though I love eating them so much I could never get the folding technique or ingredients right. Chef Shinya gave all of us such a lovely dive into the history behind dumplings and the similarities between China and Japan, which made the whole course all the more interesting. I would highly recommend this for anyone who is a beginner with dumplings, or if you just want to spend a fun evening with a professional chef

Our evening with Chef Shinya was wonderful. Chef is great at storytelling and we had plenty of laughs through the night. Chef taught us great fundamentals to cooking and techniques to make delicious food. I'm excited to use all that I learned.

We had a blast! We learned so much and were very inspired. We didn’t know any of the people in our class but we quickly got to know each other and totally enjoyed what we had created for our meal. Chef Shinya was patient and encouraging with our efforts and explained things clearly. The final result was delicious. The class was 3 days ago and since then we have tried two of the recipes and bought supplies to make the rest of the meal. Thank you, Chef Shinya!

Great class with great food and company

This experience was out of this world! What an amazing experience! Chef Shinya is such a pleasant person, he explains things so well and and shares his abundant knowledge in all aspects, he is like a culinary encyclopedia. If I could give this experience a 10 I would! My husband and I look forward to booking more experiences in the future and hope to be invited to a private event some time as well! Such a fun and unique experience, it's an activity a learning experience and you get to have dinner at the end!

Chef Shinya has a wealth of knowledge and a passion for food. My advice is to bring a pen, we received numerous recommendations as conversations blossomed into many interesting topics. I would highly recommend any of his classes given my and my husband’s experience.

Chef Shinya had a great way of really showcasing and teaching the techniques he wanted us to learn. Some extra basic cooking and hard earned knowledge he was able to teach us was not listed under the class but I feel will help better and elevate my cooking skills! The recipe he followed was also very easy to read, understand and included a lot of things that most people regularly keep around the house aside from fillings. He had good recommendations on where to locally source the ingredients he used and also advice on storing and using left overs so that the meal would not be wasteful. Just a joy to learn from!

We really enjoyed our evening with Chef Shinya. He was friendly, extremely knowledgeable and the food was excellent.

Chef Shinya was a great host and teacher. Food was fantastic and experience was fun.
