• 4/5 from Jeremy Tham, attended Apr 2022: It was a fun morning with authentic tasting food. The best part is the small personal class. It could have been better if there was more hands on cooking. It felt more that we were assisting in a cooking demonstration. Hideo is very knowledgeable and it is a good overall Japanese cultural experience too! We thoroughly enjoyed this class and highly recommend it.
• 5/5 from Robyn Sorensen, attended Mar 2022: Great teacher, although a little hard to understand, but as he is Japanese it was not unexpected. The food was authentic. We learnt of a lot of new ingredients and how to use them. We also learnt the correct manner of serving. Altogether, a great day out and well worth the money. I will go to other classes with this tutor.

• 5/5 from Pm Luong, attended Jun 2020: Mr Dekura was an inspirational teacher who imparted his knowledge with such calm and grace that made the experience so memorable and amazing. His cooking style and his wealth of knowledge was Worth more than one could ever hoped to learn in a cooking class. (I am already booking more sessions with him). The venue was homely and beautifully presented, every detail has been carefully thought of. The ingredients were chosen so creatively and so fresh that you’d think it can only come from his garden. I learnt many of my favorite dishes I’d tasted in Japan through my travel, and the principle behind authentic Japanese cooking- my dream came true There were so much food that one could never finish in one go- lucky me. This is one of the best cooking lessons I’ve had. I’d highly recommend mr Dekura’s classes to anyone interested in learning about Japanese food and culture.
