Our professional edge
Authentic knowledge you can feel
We draw on real Japanese heritage and lived experience in every session. You get insight that goes beyond recipes and into the culture behind the food.
Friendly teaching without the fuss
We keep things warm, clear and approachable from the first step. You can relax and enjoy learning, even if sushi is completely new to you.
A booking shaped around the occasion
We tailor each class, event or catering brief to suit the people in the room. That gives you an experience that feels personal rather than off the shelf.

Izumi Nakamura, Our Expertise and Philosophy
Raised in Amakusa, Japan, Izumi developed an early appreciation for wholesome food and shared dining. As a sushi chef, dietary consultant, qualified sake sommelier and trained pharmacist, she combines flavour, nutrition and wellbeing in her work.
Her approachable teaching style supports participants of all abilities in the lessons, guided by the principles of Ichigo-Ichie (valuing encounters), Ishoku-Dougen (food as wellbeing) and Yuu-Ki-En-Raku (enjoying shared connections). We are also proud to cater for Japan House London.
