Feast on a home-cooked Japanese meal prepared by a professional instructor
Customize the menu to suit your tastes
Enjoy lively conversation with your host in a Japanese home
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!
Please inform the host of allergies and other dietary information at the time of booking

My family really enjoyed this dining experience last night! Marimo sent us the menu in advance for our input and then during dinner explained the background behind each dish, which was very educational. She also took into account my dietary restriction. It felt very comfortable to eat in Marimo’s home rather than another restaurant, and even walking through the neighborhood was a part of Tokyo we had not seen. Highly recommend!
