Cooking Class - Authentic Japanese Cooking

My friends and I had a lovely night with Fumiko preparing the 5-course Japanese dinner. The food that we made was excellent, however, I don't feel like Fumiko spent much time teaching - she briefly explained the ingredients, passed them to us with the recipe, and we were off and running on our own. While the food & cooking experience were fun, clean, and tasty, I was hoping for more takeaways from this class.

We had a wonderful experience with Chef Fumiko! She taught us the proper way to make sushi rice and gave tons of great tips on where to source the right ingredients. She has a great teaching style that is easy to follow and made sure we went home with instructions so we could replicate what we learned later on. A fantastic date night or holiday gift idea!

We had a great time making vegan food with Fumiko! This was only my second cooking class (my wife has done more than me), so I didn't know what to expect. Fumiko's space works really well. She is very organized. At each step of the way, we did a lot of the prep and then was able to do the cooking after watching Fumiko do it first. Fumiko is a wealth of knowledge and answered all the questions we had at each step of the way (and is very patient with people who are not that experienced in the kitchen, such as myself). My wife mentioned that in cooking classes she's done in the past, a lot of times the food is "cooking class quality" whereas the food we made here was "restaurant quality." We bought LOVED the food -- and we made so much that there was a lot to take home for leftovers. Definitely something we would do again!

Amazing event! The dishes were simple yet delicious! We learn to use ingredients to improve the taste without additives and spices! It was a fun experience and amazing to learn! Chef Fumiko is someone who loves her art and she did an amazing job at showing us how to cut and how to cook the food! It was amazing!

Very fun and intimate experience! We met with a very experienced chef with tidbits of info and history about the dishes we were making. Only 6 people in the class so everyone talked to each other and had a good time together. We walked away with a lot of food too, even after eating all of our creations. We got to bring wine to enjoy while we cooked. All around a good experience.

My partner and I had so much fun learning to make sushi with Chef Fumiko! Her kitchen has a really good vibe. She was a great teacher, fun, answered all of our questions, moved the class along at a good pace, and taught us history about sushi as well as common practice in various parts of Japan. 10/10 would recommend!

Luke

My fiancée Riley and I had an incredible time cooking and learning from Chef Fumiko. The kitchen was great, she guided us really well through the menu, and offered helpful suggestions for how we can continue our learning with Japanese vegan cuisine. I also appreciated how Chef Fumiko made the experience accessible. I am hard of hearing and wear a hearing aid, so places with a lot of background noise, etc. can be difficult for me. It meant SO MUCH that Chef Fumiko had speakers set up around the kitchen and used a headset microphone. I didn't have to lean on Riley to repeat things I'd missed, so I got to really just enjoy the experience overall. Absolutely would recommend this experience for others!

Sarah

27 Feb 2023

Chef Fumiko was amazing! I love the detail from the types of rice to the sushi vinegar and letting us taste the difference between store bought and homemade. Down to How much rice to use and what to do when it's too much. The stories she shared made the experience even better. Thank you for an amazing time.

Absolutely the kindest host, ever! She was so patient with the students and when I messaged concerned about the heat and being 38 weeks pregnant, she ensured that the AC unit was working and accessible. The food made was delightful with great flavor and you definitely make enough for leftovers!!

Chef Fumiko did an outstanding job teaching us how to make delicious Steamed Buns and Potstickers. She gave us really great instructions on how to portion our fillings and the pleating/pinching method. By the end of class, I felt pretty successful with both the Steamed Buns and the Potstickers. While we were enjoying eating our delicious creations, she gave us some history about both and different flavor varieties we could make. I definitely recommend this class.

Cooking and learning from Chef Fumiko was a pleasant experience! She was very accommodating as I was vegetarian and my partner was not. She had lots of both options available.

Chef Fumiko is a great teacher and we genuinely enjoyed the class. We got to make 3 different rolls and then enjoy eating them with Miso soup while Chef told us about the history of sushi.

Michelle

13 Apr 2021

We were excited for the class although we didn’t know what to expect since it was our first time doing something like this. Chef Fumiko allowed us to really make our own meal with instructions on how to prep and measure the ingredients properly and was knowledge about the type of food we were preparing when we asked questions. She also took the time to get to know us and talk about herself and her culinary background. We couldn’t believe we actually made everything we ate and it was delicious! We would definitely do another class with Chef Fumiko in the future.

Kyle

Our group had a wonderful time making sushi with Chef Kumiko! Covid has obviously made doing group activities difficult and we were originally planned to do ours in January 2021. We felt uncomfortable with all the restrictions and Chef Fumiko was soooo accommodating to ensure we could make the best of the situation. We learned a lot about the proper methods to making authentic sushi, where we should get fish locally, and preferred ways of rolling and mixing ingredients. We look forward to trying again our on own using her guidance and techniques!

Nick

Sharra

Chef Fumiko was obviously an expert on the subject of sushi and related Japanese style food (she made a tasty miso soup from scratch while we were there). She was well prepared for the class and provided extensive notes regarding materials, procedures, recipes, and details about various items used (or that could be used) in making sushi roles. It was a fun 'hands on' class. The best was enjoying the results of our labors at the end! We are inspired to make our own sushi at home. My hat's off to this chef!

Margaret

26 Jan 2017

I had the opportunity to learn to make basic sushi rolls with Chef Fumiko. It was a great experience! Exactly what I wanted, a small scale class, hands-on learning, and a dynamic teacher. I have recommended this class to a couple co-workers and many of my friends.

So glad that Cozymeal is finally also in Seattle.

Chef Fumiko is 100% Japanese and it shows in her every movement. Her simple grace and hospitality, her humble style and her delicious cuisine. Her sauces are so simple and yet they turn a few ingredients into an incredibly tasty dish. She is the real thing. Loved this class. Highly recommended.

It was a great teaching, learning experience. We learned how to make sushi! What could be better? We also got to eat our own creations! Fumiko was extremely welcoming and helpful in making us feel at ease in her kitchen. We learned "the tricks of the trade," that had us making sushi in a few minutes. I would heartily recommend this experience to anyone who wants to know about sushi and how to prepare it. Thanks you Fumiko,for the adventure!
