Learn to make omurice, a soft, creamy Japanese omelet over fried rice, topped with tomato or demi-glace sauce in this unique cooking class.

Omurice is a comforting dish that has gained popularity on TikTok and Instagram. Join Chieko in her home kitchen in Chiba for a hands-on class and recreate this Japanese favorite.

Chieko grew up in Tokushima surrounded by fresh, homegrown ingredients. Traveling across Japan and to Los Angeles strengthened her love for food and its ability to bring happiness. Inspired by her mother’s cooking and the harmony of ingredients, Chieko became a certified cooking instructor and opened her home kitchen in Chiba to share Japanese cuisine with travelers.

Omurice blends Western and Japanese flavors. A thin, soft omelet sits over seasoned fried rice with vegetables, proteins, and a touch of ketchup or demi-glace. The omelet drapes over the rice for a creamy, comforting bite, finished with a drizzle of sauce. During the class, you’ll also make seasonal side dishes to complete your meal.

After enjoying your creations, try your hand at Japanese calligraphy. Write your favorite words, names, or characters in hiragana, katakana, or kanji.

The experience begins with a pick-up from Chiba Station and a short transfer to Chieko’s home kitchen. After greetings and an introduction to Japanese cooking techniques and tools, you’ll make omurice and side dishes, enjoy your meal, and finish with a calligraphy lesson.
