The master class was extraordinary! Akemi is not only a renowned expert but also incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about the culinary arts. What made this experience truly unforgettable was how kind, welcoming, well-organized, and encouraging she was throughout.
Even though the class was intense and we learned a lot, we felt fully engaged, and the time just flew by. It was a real pleasure and even a privilege to sit at the cozy kitchen table with such an expert and gain so much knowledge.
Thank you, Akemi, for this amazing experience!
We really enjoyed our ramen making class with Akemi. It ended up being a private session which was great! Akemi gave us an interesting culinary history of ramen across Japan, guided us through all the preparation and cooking steps of making ramen, and overall was just incredibly friendly and encouraging! We’ve taken a lot away from the session, both as tips for cooking and for devices/utensils we want to buy for our own kitchen!
We’d really recommend taking a class with Sozai and will definitely consider booking onto another session in the future.
Thank you, Akemi!

We had a fantastic time learning to make sushi - the class was really fun and relaxed. I'm not a very good or confident cook but I found the whole experience very enjoyable and satisfying! Would definitely recommend.
