I bought this for my nieces for Christmas as a private class since they LOVE Ramen so much. They all gave it a 10/10. Her recipe was truly authentic and totally amazing… better than any restaurant we’ve been to. Chef Kumi was amazing!! She explained everything step by step and patiently waited to make sure everyone was making it correctly! Chef Kumi is very friendly and engaging! Looking forward to booking the next one!

Great experience! Chef Kumi went step by step through the recipe and wait until all participant finished a step to continue. The Ramen soup was delicious and very tasty.

Bailey

27 Oct 2021

TAKE THIS CLASS! If you love ramen and have always wondered how to make it in a more authentic way than with dry noodles and a packet of seasoning, this class if worth every penny. Chef Kumi is so personable, and so good at making you feel at ease as she walks you through the process. My husband and I enjoyed delicious ramen after our one-on-one class and we will look for future classes with Kumi because we enjoyed learning from her so much.

Ryan

Mara

12 Sep 2021

We have taken online cooking classes at least a half dozen times before. Chef Kimi was among the best instructors we have ever experienced. She moved the recipe slowly enough that we didn't feel stressed out or anxious about catching up or staying on top of multiple tasks at once. We enjoyed both the the challenge of a complex recipe and also having a patient and concise chef as our instructor. Highly recommend!

Dara

05 Sep 2021

Relaxed fun and the best veggie ramen ever!

Mitch

23 Aug 2021

Chef Kumi's class was a 10/10! She was so attentive, conscious of everyone's pace/time and provided us a recipe we will be using over and over again. The finished product was nothing short of amazing.

Lindsay

05 Aug 2021

Our private class (Oyakodon) with Chef Kumi was amazing! Chef Kumi is so knowledgeable and the pace of the class was perfect. The whole family (of 8) was able to participate in different steps, and the meal was delicious! Thank you Chef Kumi!

Saralyn

Very personable chef, made the food approachable, and delicious. I'm definitely going to make this again, it's a great way to use leftovers!

Kandee

18 Jun 2021

Got this for my dad for Father's day & it was such a blast! The recipes were unlike anything we have ever made and it was so fun to learn about the different ingredients. Kumi was a great host & chef; very kind and made us all feel comfortable

Parisa

We had a wonderful time following chef Kumi's Homemade Miso Ramen class. Thank you so much!

Laura

27 May 2021

Chef Kumi is AMAZING!! I went to Japan in 2017 and it changed my life, the food the culture was so incredible. I had tried the best ramen at Ts Tantan in Tokyo Station and have been trying to recreate it ever since with no luck. I signed up for Chef Kumi's ramen class and WOW!! It was unbelievable, dare I say it tasted even better then when I was in Japan. Blown away. She is so knowledgable, had great tips and knowledge to share with the class, always checked in to see how everyone was doing, kept the class running on time, I highly recommend any of her classes you will not be disappointed!!

Jenna

17 May 2021

Chef Kumi did an awesome job explaining every step in detail. I was hesitant to think we could make ramen in 2 hours but it turned out better than any restaurant! Thank you for this awesome experience and we can’t wait to book another class with you!

Charlie

02 May 2021

Really fun - moved at a great pace and stopped to make sure that we were all doing the steps correctly. The food was delicious!!

Reshma

We really enjoyed the class and learned so much. Most importantly, the Miso Ramen was awesome!

Dana

24 Apr 2021

Our time cooking with Chef Kumi was so wonderful! She was extremely knowledgeable and encouraging, sharing her love for ramen and Japanese cuisine that was infectious. She also helped us accommodate a dietary restriction without flavor suffering. There were 4 of us cooking together and each of our dishes came out perfectly. Such a fun way to celebrate a birthday. Thank you Chef Kumi!

Lily

19 Apr 2021

Such a great class! Chef Kumi is a wonderful instructor. She perfectly timed the class so we had time to work along side her. The resulting Ramen was so delicious we made another batch the following week :)

Lori

15 Apr 2021

Chef Kumi was wonderful! We had a private class to celebrate my son's birthday. The chef was live from Tokyo which made the experience of cooking Japanese Street food so authentic. We all enjoyed the cooking process and the final product was just delicious. We've taken several Cozymeal classes and thoroughly enjoy them!

Tamar

14 Apr 2021

Chef Kumi was very nice and welcoming. She was flexible and patient when I was having trouble. She explained things very well. The recipe was delicious!

Lynda

11 Apr 2021

Chef Kumi took time to make sure we all knew what we were doing before moving on to the next step and explained why we should adjust any substituted ingredients to get the best flavor possible!

Kris

09 Apr 2021

I've had Oyakodonbori in restaurants and made by my Japanese mom and I was THRILLED to make one even better. Chef Kumi is easy to follow and the recipe is so simple. It's true Japanese home cooking. My 8 year old son also loved the Oyakodon. Highly recommend her classes.

frank

09 Apr 2021

Her class was well organized and clear, everything came out absolutely delicious. I highly recommend you take a class with chef Kumi

Erin

07 Apr 2021

My brother and I gifted this class to my mom for her birthday and it was truly a fantastic family bonding experience. My parents logged in from one computer while my brother and I logged in from different corners of the continent and we got to make a delicious meal. Kumi was a wonderful teacher and guided us through all the prep, cooking, and plating! I highly recommend Kumi's class. It was a really great way for us to stay connected.

Tina

07 Apr 2021

We loved the ramen class and Chef Kumi was a delight. She gave clear directions and was so patient with everyone. We can't wait to take another class from her.

Kris

03 Apr 2021

Okonomiyaki was SO much easier than I thought it would be. The class was easy to follow and the end result was fantastic! My 8 yr old son devoured it. The class is helpful for success as it's all about the consistency of the batter, seeing the textures(e.g. how thin to chop the cabbage), and seeing the color of the finished product to know you have it right. We've had Okonomiyaki before and this was better because we could make it to our liking. We are looking forward to making lots of variations of this. It will be a recipe we use again for sure!

Megan

03 Apr 2021

Great experience!! Thanks chef Kumi!!!

Luke

30 Mar 2021

Excellent class. Kumi did an incredible job balancing the multiple steps and concurrent cooking that happens when making ramen. Dinner was delicious, learned a ton, had a great time, and she made a tough dish a delight to make ("I will not log off until everyone has finished..." Kumi ensured us all that if there were any hiccoughs, she would stay online for any or all who needed it for as long as it may take). Highly recommend her.

Christine

29 Mar 2021

Chef Kumi was really terrific! It is really impressive how she guides everyone through so many steps and ingredients and how it comes together at the end. And the ramen was amazing- the broth was incredibly flavorful.

Mathew

28 Mar 2021

We covered a massive amount in a short time. Yet I never felt like we weren’t given great detail on what we were doing. Great class

Eric

24 Mar 2021

I enjoyed the class and made a tasty donburi bowl with zero prior experience in Japanese cooking. Chef Kumi was very knowledgeable and helpful. Our group of around 10 people had a great experience with the online session! I really liked Chef Kumi's additional instructions, which modified the steps slightly from the printed recipe. As constructive feedback I would have like it if she would add those additional steps to the printed material as well. In any case, it turned out great!

Cyrus

22 Mar 2021

We couldn't believe we actually made the food we were eating! Chef Kumi was amazing - patient, talented, and full of innovative suggestions. We've been recommending her course to everyone we've talked to since taking the class. Thank you Chef Kumi!

Absolutely Amazing. Great explanations of everything. Went a little bit fast, Other than that, everything was amazing.

Teresa

21 Mar 2021

Another great class from Chef Kumi! The karaage turned out perfectly and the marinade so flavorful. We'll definitely be making that salad dressing again and again. She's right, it's so much better than store bought and super easy!

Teresa

21 Mar 2021

Such an amazing class. Chef Kumi is an excellent teacher. The class is paced very well so nothing is rushed. She explains the ingredients and how they balance the flavors. The ramen was so tasty and we were so impressed that we booked a second class right after we finished! Thank you so so much!

Rob

21 Mar 2021

Everyone in my group greatly enjoyed learning from Chef Kumi how to prepare and present Japanese comfort food! This was our first class with Cozymeal. Based on a great first experience we are all excited to try more classes in the future! We would definitely attend classes taught by Chef Kumi! Thank you Chef!

Stephanie

21 Mar 2021

Amazing!!! All 12 plus of us enjoyed learning, cooking and eating what we made!!! We were all commenting how good the dressing and tomato salad turned out!!! So much fun that we want to do it again!!!

Ryan

20 Mar 2021

My wife and I had a great time in your class. The instructions were simple to follow and the meal was incredible. The best part is you inspired my wife. Thank you so very much

Kathleen

20 Mar 2021

Chef Kumi was friendly and very thorough. The class was easy to follow and easy to prepare for with the recipes and ingredient lists. The class was well-paced (if you were prepared ahead of time, of course) and Chef Kumi's commentary and instructions were very informative. It was fun and lively for my teenaged son and me. The ramen and chicken were delicious and we even have leftovers for the next day. The recipes were just complex enough for it to make it worth our while to learn with Chef Kumi. My wife is not looking into doing another class with her or another chef on your site. It was a fun night together and we enjoyed the meal very much! Thank you!

Sarah

20 Mar 2021

Chef Kumi's class was so much fun. She's great at answering questions in a way that's the easiest to understand. She's also great at explaining exactly what she is doing during her instructions. Her recipes are easy to follow and are always delicious! I can't wait to take another class!

Denise

19 Mar 2021

Great class, and delicious soup. A lot of effort goes into making it but it is totally worth the time! Thanks Chef Kumi for a wonderful class. I will be making miso ramen again.

Erik

17 Mar 2021

Great class the karaage was amazing.

Lina

14 Mar 2021

Chef Kumi was AMAZING! She carefully walked us through each step and paused throughout to see if we had questions or to check in on how our dishes were coming along. I enjoyed the pace of the class and also how she shared great cooking tips. I would absolutely recommend her class to others and have already begun sharing about this site with friends.

Heather

06 Mar 2021

This was totally awesome! We now have added this as one of our staple dishes. Thank you Chef Kumi!

Francesca

01 Mar 2021

I truly enjoyed this class and ended up eating an incredible meal that I made by myself...with the help of a chef! This was such a fun experience and I hope to do it again soon. I truly enjoyed all the background information on the food and culture of Japan as well.

jacob

25 Feb 2021

What a wonderful experience we had with Chef Kumi! We had our family in all separate parts of the country. She not only made us feel connected, she led the class in a way where we were all relaxed while learning completely new techniques. Chef Kumi was incredibly personable, checked in to make sure we understood everything, and the dinner came out perfectly (incredible flavor and texture). Hopefully we can all have a drink together in Chef Kumi's Japan in the future! What a chef! Thank you so much.

Matt

Juliet

08 Feb 2021

My son & I took the ramen class last Wednesday. It was exactly what we needed!! From start to finish (and even some left overs for the next day...) we loved it all. I’ve already booked private class with a group of friends. Detailed, well planned & explained, cheerful & a great teacher, Chef Kumi was awesome!

Adriana

08 Feb 2021

Exceeded expectations. Chef Kumi is very knowledgeable and shared lots of valuable tips that we wouldn’t have learned by just following a recipe.

Beth

04 Feb 2021

I loved the class and Chef Kumi's attention to detail. There are a lot of pieces to this class. I was waiting to do it with my son who loves noodles. He is from China. I was so excited to find an online course during this pandemic for some comforts that Ramen can bring. I will be attending more of her classes and may even travel to Japan once this pandemic is over and attend a class in person.

Angie

03 Feb 2021

It was great fun. The recipes were amazing!!! So glad I took this class!

Chef Kumi was great! She is a fantastic teacher and chef. The instructions were clearly laid out prior to cooking and during cooking any questions were addressed quickly and effectively. Her personality is so fun and makes the class very enjoyable.

Andrea

02 Feb 2021

Chef Kumi was wonderful! She was thorough, engaging, and gave us great tips that we wouldn't have been able to get from reading a recipe. Not to mention, the food was absolutely delicious! More than that, she went above and beyond to follow up with us about other questions we had regarding Japanese cooking and ingredients. We were so pleased with this experience that we booked another class with her and recommended her to our friends!

Stephanie

22 Jan 2021

Our class was a wonderful experience. I learned a lot, the dish was excellent and plated so beautifully! Chef Kumi you were outstanding and I loved that you were teaching us from Tokyo, Japan. It was so authentic and felt like we were learning from you in your kitchen. You were so very engaging and your pace of instruction was perfect for the group! Thank you so much for teaching me to make chicken karaage, it was so delicious and crispy! Stephanie

Awesome class and teacher!

Margann

16 Jan 2021

This was my first Cozymeal experience and it was SO FUN! 100% Recommend to anyone regardless of cooking ability. Chef's directions were easy to understand and follow and she was patient and attentive to everyone on the call (about 20 devices, I think). The recipe was not difficult to prepare with her step-by-step instruction and the food was delicious. We will definitely do another class with Chef Kumi - want to try the ramen class - and will try other chefs, too.

Brian

13 Jan 2021

Chef Kumi was a wonderful teacher and the Ramen was exceptional! She was very clear with communication ahead of the class and acceptable substitutes were given for less common ingredients. During the class she was patient, but efficient and kept everyone on task! She also explained a few techniques that were important so you could understand WHY we were taking certain steps. Would definitely recommend taking a class with Chef Kumi!

Brooke

12 Jan 2021

So much fun! Was very easy to follow Chef Kumi over the internet, I picked up key secrets to making delicious Japanese Street Food that you can't get from just reading recipes! Thank you!

Chef Kumi was wonderful! I told my husband that she seemed like a Food Network Chef, very personable and comfortable teaching the class. I love how she was on the other side of the world but it felt like she was in the kitchen with us.

Chef Kumi was great! She was very thorough in her explanations of how to make the dishes, and she taught us a lot about frying. And, the dish was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be taking another class from her.

Chef Kumi guided us through a fantastic meal that I could never have made on my own. She was careful to show each step and made recommendations for what to substitute for a vegetarian version. Both dishes were delicious - and gorgeous. Looked and tasted like a restaurant meal!
