Chef Taka is incredible! We had an event with 13 people, he was so kind and generous. Everyone loved the Chef and learned a ton about sushi. Chef Taka is a world class sushi chef. Can't recommend enough.

Chef Taka was prompt, knowledgable, patient with us first time sushi makers, and from my perspective went above and beyond to ensure we had a phenomenal experience. 10/10 would recommend his in-home sushi making class. Thanks for the great experience!
