Chicken Omurice Cooking Class in Shibuya (Tokyo)

When you think of Japanese food, sushi or ramen might be the first examples that come to mind. But Japanese cuisine is enormously diverse, encompassing a wide array of both domestic dishes and original adaptations of Western recipes, a culinary tradition known as “yoshoku.” Famous examples of yoshoku include Japanese curry and tonkatsu cutlet, as well as Japan’s unique spin on omelet: omurice. Like its name indicates, this dish consists of a fluffy, bright yellow omelet served atop a serving of rice, usually cooked with chicken, vegetables and ketchup to give it a pop of color and flavor.

Now a renowned classic, omurice provides the ultimate comfort, and is a versatile meal that can be prepared with ingredients readily available worldwide. In this cooking class, you’ll learn an original recipe for omurice from knowledgeable hosts with over 10 years of experience in Japanese cuisine. These experienced chefs and cooking instructors will guide you through the basics of Japanese cooking, helping you make a fluffy egg omelet and a savory chicken rice base to achieve an authentic omurice.

After cooking, you’ll sit down to enjoy your meal. Cut through the surface of the omelet to unfold its fluffy interior and savor the combination of flavors and textures in the dish. Enjoy your meal over conversation with your friendly hosts. You’ll take home a small souvenir and a copy of the recipe to recreate this timeless classic anytime.
