Tokyo is full of incredible places to eat. Still, after a few days of dining out, nothing feels quite as comforting as a homemade meal. 

This private cooking class offers a chance to slow down, step into a local home, and experience everyday Japanese cooking with your host, Emi, a Tokyo local who loves sharing home-style recipes.

Away from busy sightseeing spots, guests spend time cooking together in a relaxed home setting. Emi guides the class step by step, making it easy to follow, whether you're a first-time cook or already enjoy being in the kitchen. 

Guests choose three dishes to make, which may include favorites such as tonkatsu, salmon with hijiki seaweed, gyoza, or okonomiyaki, along with comforting staples like scrambled tofu or oyako don (chicken and egg bowl). 

Other options include a juicy Japanese-style hamburger steak made with pork and beef. Each dish is prepared with simple techniques and everyday tools, making the recipes easy to recreate at home.

Once the cooking is done, everyone sits down to enjoy the meal together. Barley tea is served, and rice is included for guests who do not choose oyako-don. 

This isn’t just a cooking class, it’s a cozy glimpse into daily life in Tokyo, filled with good food, friendly conversation, and the comfort of a home-cooked meal.

We also welcome team-building events and school trip inquiries. Please note that individual requests like vegetarian or gluten-free options cannot be accommodated for large groups.

On national holidays, classes are available only for groups of 5 or more. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept bookings for groups of 4 or less on these dates.
