    Learning how to make sushi rolls
    Zoe D.

    We had such a wonderful time learning how to make sushi with Kyoko! I purchased tickets for my boyfriend and I to take this class together as a gift. It was our first time making sushi, and Kyoko was such a great instructor. She is very knowledgeable, patient, and charismatic. The sushi class is held in her home -- the environment was intimate and cozy but also very clean and professional. There were 7 of us in the class, which was a really nice size (two couples and one group of three). Kyoko walked us through all of the steps of making sushi, from making the rice and cutting the fish to assembling sushi rolls and handrolls. She has a ton of knowledge but made all of the information really accessible. It was also really helpful to learn where to source the different ingredients (from the rice to the fish to the cooking utensils) in San Francisco and around the Bay Area. We learned how to make the tamago egg omelette, how to cut different types of fish (salmon, tuna, and yellowtail) and vegetables, and how to cook shrimp. We made our own rolls with cooked ingredients and vegetables that we got to take home with us, and then we sat down for a dinner of handrolls that we assembled ourselves with all of the fresh fish, vegetables, and shrimp. Kyoko made two types of green tea and also made a delicious matcha white chocolate terrine for us for dessert. Everything was so good! There was so much food and it was so nice to also be able to take home leftovers. Kyoko also shared her recipes with us afterwards. This class was such a great way to spend an evening, and we learned so many skills that we are excited to practice making sushi at home. Thank you, Kyoko, for such a wonderful experience learning how to make sushi! We'd love to take another class with Kyoko and would highly recommend this experience to others.

    My boyfriend and I signed up for a sushi-making class with Gochiso Kitchens, and we feel so lucky to have had this experience. Not only was Kyoko extremely knowledgeable, she is an excellent host, super encouraging, welcome, friendly, and easy-going. I learned so much in these few hours from her, not just about cooking but also about Japanese culture. I would 100% recommend her class! The class itself was very intimate, which was fantastic because we had a lot of hands-on practice. We learned to make sushi rice (the most important part of sushi!), prepare cucumber and vegetables, cut raw fish to make sashimi, make tamagoyaki (rolled sweet egg cooked on a pan), and de-vein and cook shrimp. After all the preparation work, we learned to make futomaki (wide rolls), which we got to bring home after the class, and we had a whole platter of sashimi and vegetables to make temaki (hand rolls). After the class, we had a great dinner eating our platter while making hand rolls using the sushi rice we prepared. It was really filling!! Kyoko also prepared a red bean dessert for us after the class, which was so delicious. Not only did she teach us to prepare this incredible meal, she also told us about all the different places we could purchase the ingredients in the Bay Area, as well as tips on how to look for quality ingredients. We feel very prepared to be able to make this meal ourselves at home. I cannot recommend this class enough; this is probably one of the most memorable experiences that I have ever done. We are already planning our next class with Kyoko. You will not regret doing this class if you love Japanese food!

    Really fun evening learning to make sushi with Kyoko! She's a kind and welcoming teacher, sharing her culinary expertise and cultural insights. And now I'm ready to host a sushi party! Got home and bought a rectangular pan so I could make the rolled omelet from class. Enjoyed a great meal and took home delicious rolls for later. Highly recommend her class!

    Getting ready to make hand rolls...

    It's rare that you have an experience that exceeds your expectations -- and hopes -- in every way but Kyoko did just that for each of us at her class yesterday. Over the years, I've taken about a dozen of cooking classes. While most of them have been entertaining and included a good meal and recipes, very few have actually improved my skill sets or culinary knowledge in any substantial way. Usually, it's just been a fun way to spend a few hours with some tasty food and not much more. However, the sushi-making class at Gochiso Kitchen was far above and beyond that. At each stage, Kyoko shared valuable knowledge about how to procure and assess the best ingredients, store and prepare them properly, and present them. Her instructions were clear and very encouraging, and each of us enjoyed both the process and the results. She generously shared resources as well as ingredients that she had recently brought back from her travels to Japan. During the class, we learned how to make a wide variety of raw and cooked sushi ingredients, assemble rolls, and enjoyed a delicious and substantial meal afterward--with a bonus roll of cooked ingredients to take home! All of this would be enough to make it a cooking class that I would be happy to recommend to anyone but Kyoko's wonderful and warm hospitality made it even more special. Within minutes, she transformed us from a group of strangers to a relaxed group of friends preparing a meal together. Despite arriving solo, she immediately made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Kyoko has delightful enthusiasm, deep knowledge, and a fun and welcoming spirit. The space is open, airy, and inviting, and Kyoko's hospitality is perfection. Please support her school and give yourself the gift of a memorable and educational experience!

    Such a wonderful and informative experience! Kyoko offers a private and comprehensive lesson on authentic Japanese sushi preparation and enjoyment. Loved it- would highly recommend :) great for couples and best friends!

    Salmon hand roll
    Jen L.

    Came here for a work team-building event (sushi making!) on a school night. We were tired and weary from the workday, but as soon as we walked into Kyoko's kitchen, her calm demeanor put us at ease. She taught us all the basics and then some: how to cook sushi rice, identify and cut raw sashimi-grade fish (salmon, tuna, yellowtail), grill sushi-style omelettes, construct a handroll, arrange a pretty sushi platter - the list goes on. She sprinkled cultural and historical context into her methodical instruction, making for a delightful evening. This event was my second time at Gochiso Kitchen (I've also done Kyoko's Japanese home cooking class for a friend's birthday), and I thoroughly enjoyed myself both times. I'd come back again in heartbeat.

    Each of us had a plate like this to enjoy!!

    Took a sushi class and was probably one of the best classes I have taken. Kyoto was really knowledgeable and took us through all the steps from making rice properly, cutting fish, making tamago and rolling our sushi. We then sat down to enjoy our sushi! Really a wonderful evening! We plan on taking another class soon!

    7/27/25 Zach…read moresurprised me with a ramen cooking class at The Story of Ramen. I lovvvve ramen (and noodles in general) so I was ecstatic for this experience. The Story of Ramen is located in the Mission so parking was a little tricky. We got to the general area 20 minutes before so that we could get a decent parking spot. We did the 4 hour advanced workshop where we learned about how to prepare the broth, marinated eggs, chasiu pork, tare seasoning and how to make the ramen. For that day, there were 5 other pairs. Our teachers Manville and Jeff, guided us through every step of the arduous process of making the perfect bowl of ramen. The workshop started off with a lecture about the history of ramen and the creation of The Story of Ramen. Of all the tasks we did, my favorite was making the ramen itself. After learning in detail how much work goes into making ramen, I appreciate ramen more than I ever did before. This was a great team building activity and something new for us. I highly recommend this and of course you get to eat the bowl of ramen you make at the end of the workshop!
