Japanese Home Cooking Dining Experience in Tokyo

Sure, bar-hopping in Tokyo is fun, but maybe you’re missing a good, home-cooked meal. This dining experience is perfect if you want a more mellow food experience in Tokyo. Join Marimo, a Japanese home cooking specialist. She learned to cook from her mother and grandmother. Her father worked as a chef at a Japanese embassy abroad. It’s natural, then, that Marimo grew a love for home-cooked dishes. This is not a cooking class. Come with an empty stomach and be welcomed in Marimo’s cozy Tokyo home, where you’ll enjoy a delicious, seasonal meal in a Japanese-style room with tatami flooring. This is a unique experience that takes you inside the home of a Tokyo resident — a rare chance, considering most Japan residents rarely welcome strangers and acquaintances into their homes. It’s also a great chance to eat dishes not usually offered at restaurants. Marimo is open to requests and will curate a menu based on your preferences. This includes adjusting Japanese dishes to suit dietary restrictions. Vegetarian and vegan travelers are welcome! Sample Seasonal Menus: Spring: Chirashi-zushi (sushi rice topped with assorted ingredients) and wild vegetable tempura Summer: Somen (thin wheat noodles) and summer vegetable tempura Fall: Seasoned steamed rice with mushrooms and vegetables, served with persimmon salad Winter: Japanese hot pot with seasonal veggies and meat
