Healthy Japanese Home Cooking Class in Tokyo (Setagaya)

Craving an authentic, flavorful breakfast, lunch, or dinner in Tokyo that isn’t packed with sugar? If so, why not make it yourself? In this cozy home cooking class led by Yuka, a cooking instructor specializing in gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian cooking, you can learn to make Japanese staples like onigiri rice balls and rolled omelet using natural and pesticide-free ingredients. What’s more, this class can accommodate several dietary restrictions and be adapted to vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and halal-friendly diets. You’ll meet Yuka at her home in Setagaya, a quiet residential neighborhood near Shibuya. Upon arrival, Yuka will introduce the recipe and ingredients before you put on your apron and get hands-on cooking an assortment of dishes. You’ll learn about Japanese cooking techniques, differences between ingredients, and recommendations on substituting ingredients when adapting recipes for different dietary restrictions. As a culinary specialist, Yuka selects only natural ingredients free of pesticides.
