We wanted to experience authentic Japanese home cooking, and it couldn't have gone better. It was truly home cooking—at Michi's apartment—giving us the opportunity to experience Japanese hospitality firsthand. The recipes and ingredients were chosen with great care, and as you can see, we had a wonderful time together. Many thanks again to Michi and Yumi. It was marvelous.

We had the best time with Michi! She and her friend were friendly and welcoming. We had great conversation and they shared things to do in Fukuoka. The food was great and it was a great experience. They made us feel so comfortable, it was like cooking with friends. We will definitely book with Cookly again.

My partner and I enjoyed a magical experience with the very generous hosts, who taught us how to make okonokmiyaki and takoyaki. We already learned a lot about local ingredients and cooking techniques, leaving us with lots of inspiration to try our own Japanese dishes in the future. The delicious appetiser, and matcha ending made it extra special. Thank you for the great time!

We made masuzushi, tempura, harumaki,nikujyaga. Everything we had was beautiful. Also, we had a tea ceremony. That was unforgettable experience. Thank you very much.

I spent so much happy time in Tr. Michi's cooking class in July, 2023. I highly recommend this class for who would visit Fukuoka :) My cooking class was about Tempura! You can learn how to handle ingredient in Japanese way such as the way cutting a carrot (it was quite different to Korean way). Also, the teacher really likes cooking itself so she knows much about Japanese cooking and she kept introducing many of Japanese sauces and seasonings, of Japanese plates and of Japanese food such as sesame tofu and tororo. I took all things she introduced to me and I’m planning to buy them now hahaha. (Her picks were really delicious!) The 4th picture is a sesame tofu which was shocking to me LOL I'm gonna buy and eat it when I get back to Japan someday! For me as a Korean, I thought we are sharing kind of big cultural base but thanks to this class, I could learn subtle differences between Korean and Japanese cooking which was really interesting to me ! For instance, she introduced various 'tororo' side dishes to me as a Japanese summer food. In my country, we usually eat tororo just as a shake and I had no idea it's good for health in summer and there are many ways to cook tororo. It was really exotic to me. Thanks to her, my world’s got wider in Japanese way! 😊 The class is held up in really cozy and CLEAN place so I felt relieved to cook and eat there. The teacher takes a good care of the place and ingredient. Also, the way how she cooks, organizes the place, eats and lives her life gave me inspired. During the class, you guys can talk with her and you might know how balanced person she is. For me, she became my life role model. hahaha. She is really friendly, kind and good at leading the class in gentle way. Of course, she's so fluent in English so there was no problem to communicate with her! Also, she is very opened person to be a friend, either. For me, the best way to learn about foreign culture is to learn their cooking. Because I believe the food is a combination of a culture, history and people. So, I could feel and learn more about Japan during the class. Her class will make your trip more than just a trip! My trip is completed by her class! Now we became friends and I’m looking forward to introducing each other’s culture! Thank you for reading my review. Have a great day!

If you will travel to Fukuoka, I suggest you consider this class as a part of your bucket list! I learned a lot from the chef about cooking several dishes. It was delicious, too. I will attend again if I get a chance to go back to Japan.

This was a private lesson, and I had a wonderful time. Both instructors were incredibly personable and spoke impeccable English. We covered many dishes and ingredients and learned from each other, and the end result was more food than we could possibly eat! The only drawback was that it was largely a demonstration; I only rolled one maki roll (something I already knew how to do). Would have liked to do more in terms of hands-on cooking.
