Experience Details
During this Japanese Home Cooking Class for Beginners, our cooking instructor will teach you the basics of Japanese home cooking, starting with ichijiu-sansai (literally “one soup, three dishes,” though it also includes rice). This is the typical Japanese meal layout that is served in restaurants and homes all across Japan.
The main dish for this cooking class varies, but all options are popular among foreigners in Japan. For example, tamagoyaki (the traditional Japanese rolled omelet) and karaage (Japanese-style fried chicken) are two such dishes in our roster of recipes. Every cooking class includes miso soup, which is a staple soup of Japanese cuisine. We will make it from scratch, starting with the dashi (Japanese soup base usually made with dried fish and kombu, dried kelp).
This Japanese Home Cooking Class for Beginners takes place at a cooking studio in Minami Aoyama, one of Tokyo’s wealthiest areas. With kitchenware and tools from top brands, this cooking workshop features fantastic facilities. The spacious and bright studio is perfect for photography and has been visited by Japanese celebrities and has been the site of magazine photoshoots. It’s the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed cooking class. Come along, and let’s discover the secrets of Japanese home cooking!
