I attended a great workshop on how to make sushi, organized by Yumiko. I had done similar workshops before, but because of Yumikos Japanese background, she could teach us the real thing, for example how to cook the perfect rice, what vinegar to add ( and why to add vinegar in the first place), but also general Japanese habits. The sushi was of great quality and the workshop very professional yet also relaxed. A perfect balance between learning something new, making the sushi ourselves but also time to enjoy the afternoon with the friends we did the workshop with. I can highly recommend Yumiko’s workshops (she does other Japanese food as well, very yummy!). It is a great way to spend an afternoon or evening with a group of friends and enjoy great food!

I personally think that Yumiko is very talented! Because as I love sushi so much I decided to have a party where you can make sushi. Yumiko explained how to do it step by step but I don’t think anyone made the sushi as good as Yumiko!! (Poppy Maidment)
