This was the second Sozai cooking class I have done with Akemi. Both were brilliant. Akemi is extremely knowledgeable about Japanese food, and I left both classes with lots of new information about Japanese food.

We made loads of delicious food, most of which we ate at the end of the class but we also got additional to take home. I would definitely recommend this class. The recipes are very approachable but still tasty, and I'm excited to try and replicate them at home. In three hours we managed to cook five dishes, which was really impressive.

I used to love sushi before going to class, but now I'm fully obsessed. I learnt a lot of new ways to prepare sushi. And the teacher was incredibly polite and helpful, explaining everything with great commitment. It was unthinkable that you couldn't understand something! If you don't know what to give for your close friends or family, this is the greatest gift to attend the roll & roll sushi class.

Cooking Ramen with Akemi was brilliant! We loved the insights and the final Ramen we cooked was delicious. The class size and atmosphere was perfect.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT !!!!!

My husband booked this class for me which was on my birthday wish list. I cannot describe what an amazing experience it was, it has opened my culinary world to a whole set of new ingredients and the class was so well thought out with the opportunity to make numerous dishes.
Akemi has a wealth of experience and knowledge and I feel lucky to have probably only experienced a small part of this. Will be following her recipes and look forward to new adventures in my kitchen. She is a true grand master.

Taking the online miso course was a truly enlightening experience! I learned how to make miso and shio/shoyu etc. koji at home, and the process was surprisingly accessible and enjoyable. Kinu was incredibly clear and thorough in her explanations, making it easy to follow along. It was a hands-on journey that deepened my appreciation for these Japanese ingredients. Highly recommended!
