Our daughters gave us a Sozai gift voucher as a Christmas present. We both love Japanese cuisine but were apprehensive about our culinary abilities. We need not have worried as Akemi and her assistant Angela were so hospitable and skilled in the art of teaching. The day flew by as we were taught the fine details of sushi making. We enjoyed eating our creations as we prepared them and also the next day. Thank you very much for a wonderful experience. We highly recommend Sozai Cooking School classes to anyone wanting to learn sushi skills.
I would very highly recommend this incredible class, full of knowledge and expertise, and also extremely fun to do! :)
