I had an incredible time at this cooking class! The chef was so friendly and gave clear, easy-to-follow explanations, making it fun to cook authentic Japanese dishes myself. The recipes felt like genuine home cooking, and the English translation of the entire cooking class was perfect. The experience was both enjoyable and educational—highly recommend for anyone who loves food or Japanese culture!

Japanese Home Cooking Class in Tokyo (Onigiri & Tamagoyaki)
Cooking Classes
This was a fun and interactive presentation of two of Japan's favorite comfort foods, onigiri and tamagoyaki. Admittedly, I'm not the greatest cook, but with their expert guides I was able to make easy and delicious snacks. I'm confident that with the recipe sheet provided and the right ingredients I could make these at home in the U.S. Participants were encouraged to do all the preparation themselves and with an expert translation we were able to copy the Japanese chef's instructions easily. It was a really nice experience. I would highly recommend.

Teishoku Cooking Class in Shinjuku (Five Meal Options)
Cooking Classes
We were welcomed into a beautiful home by a wonderful couple. She explained bento and onigiri before diving into the how-to. The process was surprisingly simple but something you can't learn on your own. We also fell in love with the square pan used for rolled eggs. After cooking, she showed us how to make onigiri and assemble the bento box, giving us lots of ingredient options based on our preferences. Afterwards, we ate what we made, along with traditional sweets and tea. A bonus was a pot of pour over coffee in the backyard in the shade. Can't say enough how wonderful of an experience it was, as English speakers we got along just fine. We left full and she even wrapped up what we couldn't eat! Favorite day spent in Japan.
