4.9 (404)Hideo was born in Yotsuya, Tokyo. His father was a playwright and owned two Japanese restaurants, Kihei of Tokyo and Misuji, where he commenced his training, whilst still at school at Shinjuku High School and through to Nihon University. Hideo learnt from his parents the principles of sushi and kappo-ryori food preparation, cooking and presentation. These methods have been passed down through generations of his family. At the same time, he learnt the philosophy of Chakaiseki (the tea ceremony cuisine), Teikanryu Shodô (Calligraphy), Ikenobou-Ryuseiha (flower arrangement) and Hôchô Shiki (the cooking knife ceremony) under the tutelage of Shijyoushinryu by Iemoto-Shishikura Soken-Sensei.
After years of cooking and demonstrating in Japan, Hideo's interests led him to Europe to study classical French cuisine, England and then the United States, where he was able to combine his skills in Japanese and European cuisine by working as a demonstrator in California.
In 1972 Hideo visited Australia for the first time and settled in Sydney in 1974. He set up Japanese Functions of Sydney, the first Japanese catering company in Sydney, which was highly successful. He has lectured in several places and has now opened Culinary Studio Dekura in Chatswood.
Hideo is a master of Shijoshin-ryu in Sydney. Furthermore he is a member of Food Professional Australia, (formally Food Media Australia), Japan Master Chef Association, and a lecturer at the Sydney Sea Food School.
He is the author of several Japanese cooking books and cooking videos.
In 2007 and 2015 Hideo was presented with an award from the Japanese Government to those who have made significant contributions to the promotion of Japanese food and cooking.
In 2016 He was appointed as Goodwill Ambassador for Japanese Cuisine.

Amazing class and Hideo taught me so much which I can use when making Sushi at home. Food was amazing and so proud of how my sushi turned out. He has written 18 cooking books, so he definitely knows his Sushi!
Tais de Almeida Moyses • Nov 2023
Amazing, gorgeous venue. The best teacher EVER! Not only Mr. Hideo Dekura is extremely qualified, he is also a very interesting person and extremely friendly. We had great conversations that enriched the experience. Will certainly be back for more
Angelique Parras • Nov 2023
My mum and I loved this class! The teacher was so sweet, very knowledgeable and great at instructing us on how to do every step. He had some great stories about his life and career as a chef. The venue the class was held at was easy to get to, beautifully filled with Japanese items and the kitchen was great quality filled with high quality equipment.
The ramen we made was delicious and we came away with extra noodles to freeze and eat later. The course ran on time, it was so interesting to make fresh noodles and all the ingredients were super fresh and tasty.
This course was well worth the money, we were given freshly made tea as an extra and also provided the recipe and an extra recipe book to take away with us. Would definitely recommend.
Vanessa Campbell • Nov 2023
Both a culinary and cultural experience, this class is truly outstanding. We will be back for other classes at this location.

Jaquita Britton • Oct 2023
My 13YO son really enjoyed the experience and gleefully told me how I was making sushi all wrong. I also got to do a tasting and they were delicious. I ended up buying his sushi for kids book to inspire my son to cook rather than me.
Kiri McCurdy • Sep 2023
My daughter loved this and came out with a newfound culinary confidence. I recommend the experience and the sushi was a step above ordinary and really yum. I wasn’t allowed to stay inside but I could watch through a window and the teachers were exceptionally patient and kind throughout.
Rosanne James • Sep 2023
Nice for kids. Sushi looked great and all the kids managed to make it and do a great job. Very enjoyable

Sensei was a wonderful teacher, providing great insight about Japanese cuisine, culture and he made the experience fun.
I learnt so much from this two hour class such as:
How to make noodles by hand
How to knead the dough
How to make the broth and preparing toppings.
I highly recommend this class to anyone who is interested in learning Japanese culture and cuisine.

We had great time making Daifuku. HIideo Sensei was very patient and knowledgeable. He guided us every step of the way. The ingredients were fresh and final product was delicious. He even taught us how to make matcha. Overall it was great way to spend a Sunday.
Morgan Trent • Aug 2023
Amazing and fun! Great date, and a lovely instructor - only thing is you're mainly making the noodles and everything else is pretty much done, so depending on the level of involvement/learning you're looking for
Penelope Sootho • Jul 2023
Nice bunch of people. Very organised. Easy going. Delicious food. A fun day to be had!
Charlie Rosa • Jul 2023
My son and his friend had an excellent experience at Class Bento. They thoroughly enjoyed the lesson and I'm hoping my son can recreate some of his work at home, for many years to come! Thanks to all the team at Culinary Studio Dekura!

Beautifully situated in a cottage set up with a kitchen, my son was engaged from the get go equipped and greeted kindly.
He was so proud of what he accomplished and found the teacher and their assistant really clear, engaging, insightful and friendly.
He’s now asking for a kid’s class 2! Highly recommend.
Jay Chou • Jun 2023
I was quiet impress by the whole process. I’ve learned quite a lot and my partner is very impressed. Down side to this is she rather I make it than going to any sushi restaurant.
Pip Stanford • Jun 2023
Hideo is a wonderful teacher, with unbelievable skills, knowledge and experience. His lovely calm demeanour put everyone at ease and he guided us through the recipes and techniques wonderfully. Such a great class!
Nicole Wilson • Jun 2023
The teacher was fantastic, very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The venue was well equipped and easily accessible. Learnt how to make different types of Sushi.
Charissa Lam • Jun 2023
Great time in the kitchen with Hideko-san. Hands on class that gives you confidence to make sushi at home, along with a few other things like a salmon-broth-based miso soup and Japanese omelette (tomago). Thank you so much for your time and knowledge in teaching us.

This was a birthday gift from my siblings and I to our parents - right from the start when requesting a private class, Hideo was very accommodating. On the day itself, we found him to be an excellent teacher and has the perfect balance of patience, humour and guidance. We all successfully made our own sushi rolls and nigiri. The Miso soup was a revelation, never tasted such a delicious one before. It was a relaxed, fun and tasty way to spend time with my family! Highly recommend.
Elsje Elsje • May 2023
It would be very perfect if every class session have a certificate which we will be proud yo show it to our family or friends to recomend it to them. Thank you n best regards from ELSJE - Indonesia
Joe Meadows • May 2023
Hideo was incredible at showing us how to make ramen noodle followed by concocting our very own bowl of noodle with choice of soup base!
With the weather being 11 degrees and rainy outside we sure did pick the perfect day! The group was only 6 so it felt intimate yet social! Thank you Hideo San

Todays class was great, the teacher was very friendly and the class ran smoothly. The skills that were included in the class were reliable and traditional. As well as the end product was amazing. It was age friendly and no one can do anything wrong, you are helped all through out the class and you learn about the origins of lots of different Japanese ingredients. The experience is once in a lifetime. Making this class even more authentic, having a native Japanese instructor. This class is definitely worth the price as it was enjoyable and educational all at the same time. If you choose to have a public class, the amount of students is 7, that is enough that you get personal interaction as well a group experience. It was a great class, I highly recommend it.

It was a very interesting class. Our teacher explained the process really well. I will definitely do anther Bento class.
Jayde Armitage • Apr 2023
Bought this for my brother for Christmas as he loves ramen. I've never been too fussed, but after taking this class I am now a convert! The teacher was kindly spoken and knowledgeable - check out his many books whilst there. The venue was easy to find, had ample street parking, and was neat and tidy. We had an intimiate class of 6, which gave good access to resources. As another reviewer states, the heavy lifting (i.e. broth and chashu) has been done, so for this part it's information only. Make sure to wear decent socks, you'll thank me for it later lol. Thoroughly enjoyed eating what we made, though the credit must go to Hideo-san.
Gerard Barrameda • Apr 2023
Teacher Hideo is a really great!
It was very interactive and fun.
He is very helpful and nice
Jo Wong • Mar 2023
Class was very interesting and we learnt a lot of different techniques about sushi making preparation. We were also provided with amazingly delicious miso soup as a start. Engagement with the class was good and we were provided with support whenever we needed help with certain steps!
Jane McDonald • Feb 2023
We had a great time making sushi. The chef was amazing and we went home inpired with our new cooking skills as well as full stomachs!
Elise Sproll • Feb 2023
I loved this class! Dekura was so patient, kind and made the day fun. He's so knowledgeable and gentle. I had no idea I could make sushi that tasted so yummy and fresh, and looked so delicate. Very proud!
Lisa Buttigieg • Feb 2023
We had a wonderful time this evening and thoroughly enjoyed this ramen class. Our teacher was a pleasure to learn from and the venue was a beautiful space with plenty of parking. We would definitely recommend this class.
Kate Raymond • Jan 2023
My daughter and I really enjoyed this class. We'd never made noodles before and weren't confident to try it ourselves at home. This class has shown us that it's really not that hard and we are excited to perfect our ramen-making. I was especially interested in the Tonkotsu and feel like now I've got all the information I need to make much more delicious and authentic soups, along with making noodles from scratch. It was a really friendly, small class in a welcoming setting. Thank you so much for a wonderful morning and the delicious food! I wasn't feeling 100% (terrible timing), so didn't eat much of the wonderful spread of toppings provided, but my daughter put together this fabulous dish.

Hideo is clearly experienced in what he does, I really enjoyed the ramen making class.
6 people attended the class which was a perfect number enabling us to have enough space each.
The recipe sheet given is very detailed which helps when trying to recreate in my own kitchen.
The only challenge was the heat today, mid summer in the kitchen…… I’ll choose a different time of year to attend my next class!

The wagashi class was clearly presented, with cultural information provided about the history of the sweet. All done while being taken step by step through the different stages so we could recreate at home.
Hideo created a great space to learn and was a welcoming teacher. I had a great evening making daifuku mochi and enjoying them with green tea afterwards.

Superb master is this teacher in Japanese cuisine highly skilled and very friendly most amazing experiences truly great
John • Nov 2022
Dekura-sensei is a master of his craft. An immaculate man in an immaculate space, with immaculate ingredients and immaculate presentation skills. His decades of experience in traditional Japanese cuisine (not just sushi) was clearly apparent, and with a small group of students clustered around the table we could each learn the beginner skills and practice them. Looking back at the photos of the miso, omelettes, nori rolls and nigiri on my phone it's hard to believe that I made them myself!
Kevin Lee • Nov 2022
Very delicious! Fun birthday "experience" gift for my fiance. We also learned how to make miso soup.
Mark Harris • Nov 2022
Hideo is a lovely and experienced chef. He teaches the really great way to make proper ramen noodles from scratch. He had premade the tonkotsu broth because it takes many hours, but he explained clearly how to make it yourself and how to purchase the correct meat cuts for it. He provides good printed materials to take home and continue your practise yourself. The tonkotsu-miso ramen we made together tasted amazing! The kitchen was excellently suited to the class. I highly recommend this class if you want to know how to hand make the best ramen noodles!
Edward Chung • Oct 2022
Strongly recommed this place for kid's birthday party, it beats all those chocolate making, artwork, bath bombs, princess, etc places (we've tried all). My girl had her 11yo party about a week ago, she and friends (total 9) had an amazing time. All 1.5 hrs were FULLY engaged as Hideo sensei n his assistant put great attention to them, and he is very funny too. Barely enough time for cake cutting. Everyone had an individual setup with all the ingredients provided. They loved the accomplishment of a genuine edible delicious sushi (refer to photo). The completed sushi (if uneaten) were taken back home. Thank you Hideo's team, I'm certain we'll return next year!

Jan Marshall • Aug 2022
Demurs was a good teacher if a little difficult to understand at times. The venue is very pleasant easy to find with street parking nearby. 10 people in the class. Dekura started by making miso soup for everyone, we helped in making a thick omelette. Then it was really hands on as we all made our own sushi and Nigri plus garnishes. Then it was time to eat what we had prepared. 4 hours well spent and good value for money.

The classroom is a professional kitchen in a leafy suburb with good parking. Hideo Dekura is a licensed from Japan and does more than just kids sushi so he knows his subject matter and can answer adult questions as well. The sushi that we learned to make was very pretty. The kids had a great time. I truly liked Hideo a lot and would recommend this.

I cannot say thank you enough to teacher Hideo. Food and how to cook food properly is a big part of my family. A crucial ingredient for souk nourishing. Having my children attended this class is valuable and priceless. My children learnt a lot and teacher Hideo is most experience and knowledgeable. Thank you.
