took my onigiri, tamagoyaki, and seasonal vegetable class came back for my Buddhist cuisine class just a day before heading home! 😊✨
He already had a great deal of knowledge about Japanese cooking and Buddhist cuisine, so I customized the menu to include renkon (lotus root) and white miso dishes based on his request.
Thank you so much for taking my classes twice during your limited time in Japan, and for the wonderful souvenirs — Shiro Miso from Kyoto and sesame tofu from Koyasan! 🥰🍀(Jan 2024)

He kindly wrote an excellent review for me. Here is a summary:
Cooking with Yuka was an outstanding experience. She is incredibly friendly, speaks excellent English, and seamlessly adapted the class to my exact needs. She instantly understood what I wanted to learn, sharing brilliant methods and insights into Japanese vegan cooking (shojin ryori) as well as tamagoyaki making. I was so happy with the lesson that I immediately booked another class for a few days later!
