This was our first cooking class, and I'll say Chef Misako is the standard. I knew it was going to be fun, but she has a personality that moves the room. She makes learning fun, and we were laughing the entire time. Misako, thank you for your knowledge and empowering us with a skill we can bring to our own game night. Well will exclusively be on the lookout for more classes taught by you❤️

Awesome class! Chef Misako’s pop-up class was informative, high-energy and just plain fun. 2 1/2 hours went by in a snap, and by the end, we were rolling sushi like masters! Thank you, Chef Misako for a great experience. Can’t wait to take another class with you!

Chef Misako was amazing! She is funny and talented! We had a great mom daughter date! Place it’s hosted at looks a little shady outside (Blue Ox Tavern on Sahara) but the inside was nice and staff was great! Definitely recommended!

Chef Misako was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of great information in terms of tips and tricks on how to make your own delicious sushi at home. She was kind and explained the value and importance of meal presentation as well and gave the class extra I was not expecting such as miso soup, mochi, and green tea. My only criticism has nothing to do with Chef Misako, but where the class took place was an odd set up. It was in a bar/restaurant where the students were separated from her so I had a hard time following her and seeing what she was doing. Overall a great experience.

Hands down the most fun I’ve had in a cooking class! Misako’s guidance was easy to follow, and the results were delicious. Bonus points for the matcha tea and her DJ-style sushi rolling soundtrack!

Such a unique and heartwarming experience! Misako doesn’t just teach sushi—she shares stories, laughter, and a piece of her culture. It felt like visiting a friend’s home in Japan.
