CORNWALL LIFE (August 2017 edition)
CORNWALL today (April 2017 edition)
Once again we had an enjoyable evening at The Hidden Kitchen, St Ives. We joined owner James the for their Japanese Supper Club where guest Chef Naoko created an evening of authentic Japanese food, with 5 course’s we got to try some amazing creations. The Hidden Kitchen is a unique space for dinning in. With a shared table of 16, its an opportunity to meet new people and share the experience of Naoko’s Japanese menu. Full of flavours, fragrant and light to fish inspired dishes and not forgetting her show stopping Wagyu beef that was enjoyed by all! Its well worth a visit.

We attended the East Meets West event at The Art of Wine last night and thoroughly enjoyed the sushi you had prepared for us. The food looked like a work of art and the taste did not disappoint, it was fabulous. I think you can tell when a chef loves their work, the love can be tasted and that is certainly true with yours.
Thanks again, I hope we get to dine with you again soon. (June 2017)
A very belated thank you Naoko for a lovely evening learning how to make sushi. The food was awesome, company lovely especially meeting Taor at long last and Naoko you were brilliant. Cannot wait to come along on another evening to watch your superb presentation and make and eat your yummy food (May 2017)
Thank you for such a lovely evening we all enjoyed your delicious food and company and hope to repeat the experience in the future. I would be interested in any sushi making classes you may run. (February 2017)

We had the most amazing day, big thanks go to Naoko, George and his team, I can't recommend one of their highly informative courses enough, thanks guys. (January 2017)

"To the best sushi teacher, thank you for your wonderful classes, I am so pleased that my first attempt to make sushi was a success thanks to you!" (April 2016)
"Great to know there is a bit of Japan in Truro. Hope it keeps going for a long time. Delicious Gyozas, Pork Ramen and great selection of Japanese's pickles, an art on itself. Well done to the organizers and Naoko the chef." (March 2016)

"20 people dined together, set out in one long friendly supper club style (think Waggamamas). There was a real buzz – everyone was excited to be there and interested to get to know one another. Naoko introducing the courses and spending time with her guests. She’s a great host – very warm and likeable."

"Yesterday we went to bake cookies at Naoko's Kitchen in Truro.
I would definitely recommend it to any one in the Cornwall area.
It has inspired my daughter to bake her very own cake and cookies today with limited help from me! "(Nov 2015)
"Naoko is a local Japanese chef (and my dear friend!) - she caters locally for all events right down to sushi nibbles for your office meetings or dinner parties! She holds monthly fun and delicious Sushi making and tasting Lessons in Truro (or an area near you if you want to have one!) and Story Baking Events for the kiddies where they get to make and bake the character from the story she reads to them! Cuteness you can eat! Like, share, book, learn from the brilliant, affordable, warm-hearted Naoko at Naoko's Kitchen!" (Oct 2015)
"I've attended Naoko's Sushi Evening Classes, and they gave me confidence to make many different types of sushi. She's an excellent teacher and her lessons were well organised and interesting. She produced beautiful sushi for us to taste (along with traditional side dishes) and we were able to take our somewhat less attractive sushi home to eat. Fabulous lessens, well worth attending."
