Chef Motoko

It was really easy to communicate and coordinate with Chef Motoko-- my parents had such a lovely time cooking with her. This what they had to say: "Chef Motoko is so nice. We had such fun working with her. What a great gift. Good fun and educational." Thanks so much Chef Motoko!

Chef Motoko was incredibly informative and friendly. She definitely knows her sushi and has the right mindset for cooking. She grows some of her own ingredients, has a published sushi book, runs a blog and genuinely believes in healthy eating. She was also able to accommodate our eating preferences which really made us happy. I would definitely recommend.

Chef Motoko was wonderful. She brought ingredients from her own garden, explained where everything came from, taught us to make everything, and it was delicious!

Motoko was great! She was instructive, brought fresh materials from her own garden and introduced us to them, and was an all-around lovely person. The food was delicious too!

Chef Motoko was very nice and we had a lovely evening. I was a little surprised that we didn't learn to roll sushi and just made messy-looking seaweed wraps in our hands.

She is wonderful! This was a great experience from a chef who is passionate about Japanese food. We will definitely be making sushi at home again!

Great sushi making class with a fantastic chef!

We really enjoyed this cooking class. Thank you Chef Motoko for the wonderful sushi class!

Chef Motoko was FABULOUS. I highly recommend spending your evening with her, you will make tasty food and have a charming companion.

Our evening with Chef Motoko was a delight. She is a wonderful and patient teacher and her food was delicious!

Chef Motoko's rice was perfectly seasoned--I had not tried brown sushi rice before and could not get enough! I enjoyed the practical and healthy adaptations to her traditional fare, and her warmth and eagerness to share her knowledge in the kitchen was delightful.

Chef Motoko prepared a delicious and healthy Japanese lunch for us. She sourced many of the incredibly fresh ingredients for the meal from her own garden. A few of the ingredients I had never tasted before and we loved the flavors. Chef Motoko helped teach us how to make a simple and flavorful sushi bowl as well as a very unique miso soup both of which I can’t wait to make at home. I really liked Chef Motoko who was personable with a homespun style of instruction that was very easy to understand.
