Thank you so much!
どうもありがとうございます。
We had a fantastic time at Takumi’s cooking class. It was the perfect mix of a hands-on cooking session and an interesting discussion about Japanese culinary customs.
The class was very interactive, and I learned several practical tricks. I was especially impressed by her technique for cooking salmon perfectly—it was probably the best salmon I’ve ever had.
Because the group was small, the atmosphere felt really cosy, and Takumi could tailor the class to our level. We left full of new cooking ideas and inspiration.
Highly recommended!

Takumi’s cooking course is a very nice experience. Everything was well prepared and explained; especially where and how to source ingredients. The recipes are simple yet very delicious; and Takumi is a great host. 5/5 stars. Thanks Takumi!

A wonderful place if you want to enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine. We discovered that cooking is more than just following instructions. From understanding the different types of seaweed, how to get every flavour from a simple vegetable, and so much more... It was a great experience and we enjoyed Takumi’s presence so much. She was incredibly kind and welcoming to us and our baby, which made the whole evening even more special.
Highly recommended!
(Mrs. S & Mr. M.G.)
I had a great experience at this cooking class. Takumi showed a very authentic side of Japanese cooking, sharing not only techniques but also the cultural background behind the dishes. It felt genuine and traditional.
Takumi is very friendly and welcoming, and we had a really interesting discussion about Japan, which made the experience even more enriching.
When I asked her how to properly make sushi rice, she kindly took the time to explain it to me and shared her recipe, even though it wasn’t part of the class. I really appreciated that.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to discover authentic Japanese cooking in a warm and friendly setting.
(Mr.H.V.)
Thank you very much for what turned out to be one of the most memorable evenings we’ve had in a long time. From the moment we arrived, Takumi-san you welcomed us into your home as if we were long-awaited guests. The atmosphere was warm, authentic, and full of kindness.
Throughout the evening, we cooked and enjoyed traditional Japanese dishes, each prepared with incredible care. You shared stories and explained every ingredient, making the experience not only delicious but also deeply educational. It truly felt like spending a cosy Saturday evening among friends—cooking, learning, and discovering more about Japanese culture.
The food itself was outstanding. Our 6 year old daughter finished all her dishes (which says everything!) and even asked for a second portion of the cheesecake. Every step of the evening was thoughtfully organised, smoothly guided, and full of genuine hospitality.
We left absolutely amazed by your warmth, the exceptional quality of the food, and the beautifully planned experience. An unforgettable evening—thank you, Takumi-san! And thank you for engaging and being so attentive to our daughter throughout the evening!
(Mrs.M.P. & Mr.A.N.)
The course format was great, I loved the fact that you focus on home cooking rather than mainstream Japanese food found in Europe, that made it really unique for me. Thank you so much for the lovely evening.

"Takumi's course was great! She designed a personalized menu based on our preferences, and we could cook tasty dishes with her from ingredients that can all be found in Zurich shops. We discussed Japanese culture and techniques, and have been particularly inspired by the care and attention given to every step of the process. A good way to slow down by carefully preparing a dinner and serving it beautifully. Takumi showed the mastery of her craft, but nothing was out of reach and we came back with inspiration and a lot of concrete ideas to apply at home."

Before I met Takumi, I have nerver been in contact with japanese culture.
From the start, I learned how to be a good guest and how to be a good student.
Her living room and kitchen give a familiar atmosphere, you feel, that her family invest a lot of love in their flat.
Back in time, when my grandmother had her own restaurant and cooked for customers, I often looked over her shoulder.
Takumi's kitchen atmosphere reminds me of my childhood.
For an optimal knowledge transfer, the right environement is key.
She has a one to one teaching style, which I think is very important to learn cooking the right way.
Through the whole course, I had always the posibility to interrupt and ask questions.
You will feel, that she is open minded and willing to share her experience with you.
This will definitely spare you time in experimenting by your own...
Takumi gives you directions, but you have to walk by yourself.
For all of you out there, who are really curious about japanese cooking, I highly recommend to visit Takumi's course.

It was great to be able to watch and especially participate in the making some of our favourite Japanese dishes. Furthermore, it was highly appreciated to be able to discuss beforehand the types of dishes we were most interested in with Takumi. During the class, Takumi was very well organised, attentive and prepared for any questions we had. It was great to have one on one time with her and for her to share her knowledge. We would highly recommend Takumi’s comfort kitchen with anyone who is interested in learning how to cook Japanese food in the comfort of their home.
(Mr. M. G. & T. W.)
Thanks a lot for this informative cooking class with many delicious vegetarian recipes.
Takumi was thoroughly prepared and answered all our questions about the ingredients and preparation with much knowledge and detail.
We observed her preparing a variety of dishes and are now highly motivated to try it at home!
After the preparation, my husband and I could try the many beautifully arranged dishes, each one of them tasted fantastic.
(Mrs. & Mr. W)
Takumi's Comfort Kitchen class was fantastic! She is very warm and welcoming.
She had prepared her kitchen and ingredients and after demonstrating each step we began to do them ourselves under her supervision.
It’s a big advantage to have the small group and in that way have the personal assistance from her.
I also enjoyed learning about the different flavors and Japanese cooking methods. The recipes and detailed documentation we received is still helping to cook the menus at home.
(Ms. A. G.)
The Japanese home cooking workshop was a perfect opportunity to watch a Japanese cook move around in her own - normal! - kitchen, explaining how each dish for a complete meal comes together. You can find recipes for familiar Japanese recipes online, but the workshop let you see each one as it cooked, how it looks and smells and when to tell when everything is done. Plus Takumi gave us lots of tips on where to find the right ingredients!
(Ms. A. L.)
During my cooking class, Takumi made us feel comfortable and we learned new techniques and more about Japanese culture. Will take more classes from her! Highly recommend.
