+Experience Details
Few dishes capture the feeling of home in Japan quite like curry rice. Rich, gently spiced, and slightly sweet, this everyday comfort food is a staple across the country. Served over fluffy rice and paired with crispy tonkatsu or golden fried shrimp, it is a dish that brings people together around the table.
Step into a local kitchen in Setagaya and learn how to make this beloved meal from scratch with Chef Morimi. A Tokyo native and licensed chef since 2013, she has spent over 15 years teaching Japanese home cooking, guiding guests through approachable recipes rooted in everyday life.
The experience begins with a simple introduction to the menu and cooking flow, followed by a live demonstration of key techniques.
Then, you will cook your own meal step by step. Using ready-made curry roux, you will prepare a complete set meal including curry rice, tonkatsu, fried shrimp, grilled vegetables, and Japanese-style potato salad.
This class is designed to be accessible for beginners, with practical methods you can easily recreate at home.
You will even learn how to cook rice on the stovetop using a regular pot, no special equipment required.
Once everything is ready, take time to photograph your dishes before sitting down to enjoy your homemade meal with a cup of green tea.
This relaxed moment is also a chance to ask questions and learn more about Japanese home cooking.
Before you leave, you will receive easy-to-follow recipes in English and a small souvenir to bring the flavors of Japan back to your kitchen.
