Experience Details
Located in the upscale residential neighborhood near Meiji Jingu Shrine, you’ll be welcomed into Mayuko’s home for a private cooking class for 1-6 people that teaches the fundamentals of Japanese cuisine. Tourists in Japan don’t usually have the opportunity to visit a local’s home and enjoy authentic home-cooked Japanese food, so Mayuko decided to open her home to foreign visitors and teach them about the cooking techniques and real, everyday ingredients used in Japanese home kitchens. During this hands-on private cooking class in Tokyo in her cozy home, she’ll teach you how to make authentic dishes that, unlike sushi and ramen, people often cook from scratch at home! First, you’ll have a cup of frothy matcha tea which you’ll whisk yourself, a Japanese sweet, and a chat with Mayuko. She will then introduce 2 staple ingredients used in dashi soup stock (the base for a variety of Japanese dishes), along with 3 types of Japanese miso which will be used in various recipes during the class. This private cooking class will teach you how to make dishes like nasu dengaku (miso-glazed grilled eggplant), salmon chanchanyaki (salmon and vegetables seasoned with chunky miso sauce), tomato goma-ae (tomato dressed with nutty and sweet sesame sauce), and miso soup with in-season veggies. You’ll taste as you go, getting familiar with the flavors of Japanese cuisine. Finally, with the hard work out of the way, you’ll sit down to your home-cooked feast, and enjoy chatting and eating with Mayuko. She’ll also serve sake and let you choose a glass from her stunning selection of glassware, including elegantly sparkling Edo kiriko cups. Mayuko’s radiant energy and love of teaching Japanese cuisine make this cooking class truly special. Come and join her to get a local’s perspective on Japanese home cooking, and learn how she became a Japanese cooking sensei.
