Satomi was great at explaining the different steps involved when making bread and was able to break it down clearly and concisely. She was patient and willing to answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend her baking class to anyone who has an interest in baking!

A great course on not only baking Japanese bread but also bread as a whole.

Thank you very much for joining the class! It was such a great time to bake with you and chat about so many things. I hope you’ll be able to recreate Shokupan at home!

We had the most wonderful time. It was not only incredibly educational but we felt so welcome in your home. I have never experienced Japanese culture the way I did today and both Miranda and I will never forget this. The pacing of the class was perfect and everything was taken care of, thank you again so so much!

I had an incredible experience. The instructor was patient, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to tailor the lesson to my needs so I could get the most out of it. She shared countless tips and insights that made the process easy to understand and enjoyable. Her depth of knowledge was inspiring, and I left feeling confident and excited to try everything I learned at home. Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve their baking skills!

We had the privilege of taking the Melon Pan class with Satomi-san! I was deeply impressed by her professionalism from the beginning. She was always in constant communication with me and gave detailed information about the class and directions to her home. Satomi-san was very knowledgeable not only about the process of baking, but in the science of the ingredients! As a teacher and baker. I appreciated this information! We spent the wait times, (while the bread was proofing), chatting and getting to know each other— which made the experience much more meaningful! As a lifetime learner, I found the entire experience to be amazing! If you ever want to learn and grow as a baker, please take her class, follow her on IG, or on YouTube. Thank you so much Satomi-san!

I cannot recommend Satomi’s class enough! We chose to bake Shokupan (milkbread) and Satomi walked us through the process step by step carefully describing every move. Additionally, she shared crucial tips for the perfect baking! She printed out the recipe and steps so we could take notes meaning that there is no need to bring anything with you unless you want to use your own notepad for some reason. There are naturally waiting times between kneading, proofing and baking but we didn’t have any problems filling them chatting about baking utensils (she told us where to buy everything) and sharing our personal experiences. At the end of the class we tried the bread and it was delicious! Satomi let us take one of the loafs which was the perfect afternoon snack for us! After the class we went buying the utensils and we can’t wait to reproduce it at home.

The bread making class with Satomi-san was an incredible experience! Her knowledge and prowess in the kitchen really shone through. She was very kind and inquisitive throughout the class, and we had a good flow of conversation from start to finish. She has a real passion for baking, and she offered much insight into what she has learned over the years. I really enjoyed my time in the class and will definitely rebook when I come back to Tokyo!

Great Learning experience in a warm and friendly home atmosphere.Nice recipes and instructions to follow made baking such fun and encouraging. Looking forward to come again and join another class soon.

We really enjoyed the class very much! Me and my friend took a class on how to make a Japanese Milk Bread and Satomi taught us all the nuances and showed us the process in detail! In addition, Satomi is very kind, generous and lovely person with whom it was very easy and interesting to talk throughout the session. After the class we took with ourselves the recipes and the bread we made. The bread was so delicious! Huge thanks to Satomi for such a wonderful experience! Definitely recommend to take this class with Satomi 🙂

It is our first time to have cooking class overseas and Satomi truly has made our experience so memorable. She explained the steps in details so we understand the reason for each step. She also shared her knowledge based on her own experience which is unique as well as giving us the extra tips which cannot be found online. We definitely recommend her class if you are looking for an enjoyable baking class in Tokyo.

I loved attending Satomi’s baking class. It was really interesting and most importantly tasty 😋I picked up a lot of new techniques and making the bread in Satomi’s home gave the class a nice authentic touch. I would highly recommend it!

I was very happy with the lesson and I enjoyed getting to know Satomi. She made things really easy for me, gave me a few extra tips, and answered all my questions.

This is my first ever baking class, TQ Satomi sensei share a lot baking knowledge during the class. I miss karepan so much, classic and tasty! Hopefully I can bake the same flavor pan when at home. TQ, I really appreciate it.

Samantha, The United States of America 2025 January 28

I am a novice self-taught baker, and this was my very first in-person baking class. I decided very last minute to sign up, and it was SO worth it. Satomi is very friendly and knowledgable, and I learned a bunch about Japanese culture and bread baking in general from her. When I returned to the US, I baked both shokupan and curry pan for a couple physicians who I work with. They both are Japanese natives and absolutely loved them! I think that says a lot about how great of an instructor Satomi is. Thank you so much, Satomi!

Sabina & Eric, Taiwan 2025 January 16

Satomi is so nice and knowledgeable! My husband and I wanted to learn the techniques of bread making so we had lots of questions. Since bread making depends highly on the room temperature, humidity and the different types of flour and yeast, we got lots of good knowledge from Satomi. She’s patient and passionate about baking. I highly recommend this course!

Andrew, The United States of America 2025 January 31

We previously tried to make shokupan and we’re never able to get the fluffiness right! Satomi gave invaluable advice and we’ll definitely be able to emulate her recipe when we’re back from Japan!

Elizabeth, The United States of America 2024 November 26

Satori-san is an excellent baker & caring instructor! I learned the detailed process of Shokupan, cookiepan, and melonpan, and enjoyed a lovely afternoon of baking & conversation in a charming residential area of Tokyo.

Nicola, The United Kingdom 2024 November 22

My class was a great experience. Satomi is a very good host and has lots of knowledge. I would highly recommend this class and I hope to be able to book again.

We had a wonderful time in Satomi’s class. She was very informative and a very good instructor. The breads we made came out very delicious and we will definitely be baking these breads at home! Thank you for teaching us your bread recipes!

Rachel, The United States of America 2024 April 1

My husband, daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed Satomi’s class. She was well-prepared, knowledgeable and very gracious. All of her bread items came out great and we learned a lot. If she offers other classes and we are in Japan, we will definitely take another class. Thank you!
