About this experience

As someone who has taught cooking abroad and has been running cooking classes in my home for nearly 20 years, I ensure a relaxed atmosphere where you can truly enjoy authentic Japanese home cooking. Set amidst beautiful natural surroundings, my home offers an opportunity to not only cook but also immerse yourself in Japan’s culture and hospitality.

What to expect

In this class, you will experience cooking traditional Japanese home dishes such as Osechi (New Year’s meal), festival rice dishes, and bento preparation. We will also use traditional Japanese tableware, such as lacquerware, allowing you to appreciate the beauty of Japan’s food culture alongside cooking. The class is primarily demonstration-based. The menu changes monthly, depending on the season. If you would like the meal to be served in a bento style, please let me know in advance via message, as this may not always be the default presentation.
