★★★★★ (10)Hi, my name is Masumi.
My hobby is cooking. I am enjoying cooking for my family every day.
Time to time, I plan and serve for lunch or dinner party with my friends at home. I can cook 7 to 9 kinds of dishes, within 2 hours.
As I love cooking too much, I have started to work as a professional housekeeping and cooking staff.
I have lived in Germany and Singapore for almost 10 years as my husband was working there.
I had a lot of opportunity to learn different type of local food. They are now one of my favorite repertoire.
It was also great fun to teach how to cook Japanese dishes to the local friends.
My belief is that people will become friend much easier if cook and eat together.
Why don’t you cook with me and enjoy the dishes together?
You are always welcome!

★★★★★This was the first time we had used airkitche, usually going to traditional group cooking classes when we travel. The experience was wonderful, with a variety of different dishes which included my children's favourite Japanese foods, onigiri and rolled omelette. While the food was good and learning how to make the food was excellent, the really bonus of this experience was the company of Masumi. She is a delight to speak to a spend time in and she genuinely lovely spending time with us and in particular my children. After lunch she sat down and taught my children a Japanese card game and they played many rounds enjoying each other company. While other people can teach you to cook, if you want a real cultural experience while you are travelling, then you should

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I was really excited with your family. Your children are so cute and I am very glad to hear that they learn Japanese. We talked about various topics. I was very interested in your talking. If you come again to Japan, please let me know. We’ll make “Ramen and Gyoza” together. Thank you so much for coming and nice review .

★★★★★I really enjoyed cooking with Masumi. After a short walk from the station, we arrived at her flat, which with better weather would have provided me with my first view of Mount Fuji. After a short introduction we started cooking. In a very charming mix of three languages, Masumi explained and answered my questions. Afterwards we ate and talked. This included her teaching me some more japanese phrases. Overall, I can fully recommend booking with Masumi!

★★★★★We had a very lovely evening with Masumi and her daughter. it was easy to get there by public transportation and from there it was only a 5min walk to her place. We were cooking for a Bentobox and Masumi brought us closer to this part of the Japanese cuisine. The food was very good and we might be able to cook some of the dishes back home. we felt very much at home and it was a great experience. the communication before and in the evening was no problem and we had a lot of fun exchanging cultural differences. thanks for this highlight of our trip to japan.

★★★★★Dear Masumi, Thank you so much for this wonderful experience. You're not only a great cook, but also a great teacher and a very warm person ! This was also a great exchange of cultural habits and specificities. In the meantime we could try out the bento box cooking a couple of times ourselves, and thanks to your tricks, it really isn't that difficult (although there is definitely still room for improvement (-: ) The fact that you speak so good English did help of course. Again, thank you so much. This experience was definitely a topper of our trip to Japan ! Warm regards, Gwen

★★★★★We had a great time at Masumi's. She is a wonderful host and we felt comfortable from the very start. Learning to cook all the different dishes for the Bento was really exciting and showed us a lot about japanese cooking. Would definitely do other courses with Masumi, too, as she is a great cook and can highly recommend for everyone who wants to enjoy an authentic and relaxing event!
