Experience Details
Full of restaurants, shops, and attractions like the Golden Gai and the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, Shinjuku is one of Tokyo’s most exciting neighborhoods. Here is where you’ll meet Chieko, a certified cooking instructor specializing in Japanese cuisine who will teach you what you need to know to make a scrumptious meal with several dishes! While living abroad, Chieko noticed that, although many people were interested in Japanese food, few knew how to make it. This inspired her to start teaching Japanese cooking in English to visitors and enthusiasts of Japanese food.
