Experience Details
Tokyo is a great place to try all sorts of foods, but after eating out three times a day for a few days, you might find yourself craving a delicious homemade meal. In this lesson, you will not only enjoy a hearty meal but also learn the secrets of Japanese cooking at the very home of a Tokyoite!
Take a break from exploring popular tourist spots and spend the day cooking with your host, Emi. In this private cooking class, Emi will show you how to make three authentic home-cooked Japanese dishes of your choosing, from miso soup to Japanese curry rice. No cooking skills? No problem! Emi goes out of her way to ensure every guest enjoys the class to the fullest with a step-by-step cooking process suitable for all skill levels. Emi will teach you recipes to recreate at home!
Guests can choose three dishes from this list:
-Miso soup (a classic soup made with miso paste and toppings)
-Tonkatsu (a crispy pork cutlet)
-Okonomiyaki (a grilled savory pancake with chopped cabbage, meat [optional], and vegetables made with fish dashi soup stock)
-Gyoza (pan-fried dumplings with fillings, non-meat option available)
-Fried salmon with hijiki seaweed and edamame
-Onigiri rice balls filled with tuna and mayonnaise
-Ginger fried pork
-Japanese curry with rice (a mild curry with several ingredients in a smooth, rich brown sauce)
-Mashed tofu salad with shrimp, avocado and sesame paste
-A plump and juicy Japanese-style ground beef hamburg steak
Barley tea (mugi-cha) will be served. Rice will be served to those who don't choose to make onigiri or curry.
