Chef John was amazing and we had the best time! It was our first time ever doing a private class and he made it fun and engaging the entire time. He answered all of our many questions and took the time explaining why each ingredient is important for both taste and health benefits! Strongly recommend booking him for your next lesson! It was an anniversary my gf and I will never forget! Awesome experience

We attended the Tour of Japan class for our 13th wedding anniversary. Chef John was very hospitable, welcoming us into his personal home and kitchen. He demonstrated how to make several dishes such as miso soup, Wakame and cucumber salad, spicy tuna roll, poached salmon roll, and pineapple mango sorbet - all from scratch! He allowed us to be as hands on as we wanted, and we enjoyed assembling and rolling our own sushi rolls. Chef John was very knowledgeable and informative, and everything was delicious! Thank you for a memorable experience, Chef John!
