Experience Details
During this handmade udon cooking class, you’ll transform a mixture of flour and water into delicious, chewy udon noodles. First, you will walk to a restored traditional Japanese house. Then, you'll roll up your sleeves and get started.
After an explanation of the cooking class, you'll start to prepare udon from scratch. Udon can be served either hot or cold, so it is perfect for all seasons, and can be enjoyed both in winter or summer. You will also learn how to make the classic Japanese rolled omelet, tamagoyaki. It is often said that you can tell the skill of a home cook just by trying their tamagoyaki, and your host will ensure you learn all the tips and tricks to master this classic dish. You'll also be making everyone’s favorite: crunchy tempura. A battered and deep-fried dish, tempura is surprisingly light and crisp, and pairs great with udon noodles. Finally, after a delicious meal, your host will write your name in Japanese kanji on a special uchiwa fan for you to take home.
This host's cooking classes use seasonal ingredients and recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation. They make sure that these are all accessible recipes that you can recreate at home, no matter where in the world you live. Your host loves to share stories about traveling abroad, and look forward to chatting with you and enjoying a fun meal!
