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 won’t be eating until around 8:30-9ish. Highly recommend this experience!

Booked the class Tokyo-Style Ramen with Chef Shinya in South Seattle
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!

I got this cooking class as a Christmas gift for my parents who are retired and have everything they need so good gifts are hard to think of. This cooking class was a huge hit! They loved working with the chef and another nice college student couple also attending the class. The atmosphere was fun and informative. The chef was an outstanding teacher and very knowledgeable in what he taught them. They said the food was delicious! And they felt the recipes they learned were things they would definitely make in the future. I would highly recommend this experience as a gift for someone you care about!

We loved this class, given to us a couple of years ago as a gift, so much that we booked it again and brought our adult children. It was great fun and Chef Shinya is both entertaining and knowledgeable. His home is lovely and he is a delightful host. We look forward to another class with Chef Shinya soon.

We had a lovely evening cooking with Chef Shinya! Not only did we learn (and eat) some delicious recipes, he also taught us a lot of useful skills and history about cooking in general. He has a warm, kind personality and the hours just flew by because we enjoyed ourselves so much. Would cook with him again, for sure.

Exactly what we hoped it would be: great food, conversation, tips for making sushi at home/techniques we didn't otherwise have hands on practices with and thoughtful preparation (food safety, etc.) Highly recommend classes with Chef Shinya.
