Tempura Making Class in Shinagawa (Tokyo)

Frying tempura can be deceptively difficult — underfrying can lead to a soggy batter while leaving the ingredients in for too long can result in an oily, unpleasant mouthfeel. What, then, is the secret to Japan’s fluffy and crispy fritters? Miyuki, a local cooking instructor, is eager to share her best advice for making delicious tempura to crisp perfection in this home cooking class in Shinagawa. After meeting one of your hosts, you’ll head to the cooking studio, where you’ll get acquainted with Japanese ingredients and seasonings. You’ll be frying seafood and vegetable tempura, from ingredient preparation to the final result, and you’ll prepare more dishes to complete your meal: miso soup, dashimaki omelet and a side dish of green beans with a sesame seed dressing. Follow Miyuki’s recipes and learn from her cooking techniques before enjoying a wholesome homemade meal. Next, you’ll sit at the table to enjoy your meal and continue your exploration of Japanese culture and customs as Miyuki teaches you Japanese table manners. After enjoying your meal, refresh with tea and a seasonal Japanese dessert. Miyuki is a passionate cooking instructor and certified food coordinator.
