Teishoku Cooking Class in Shinjuku (Four Meal Options)

Full of restaurants, shops, and attractions like the Golden Gai and the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, Shinjuku is one of Tokyo’s most exciting neighborhoods. Here is where you’ll meet Chieko, a certified cooking instructor specializing in Japanese cuisine who will teach you what you need to know to make a scrumptious meal with several dishes! While living abroad, Chieko noticed that, although many people were interested in Japanese food, few knew how to make it. This inspired her to start teaching Japanese cooking in English to visitors and enthusiasts of Japanese food. Whether you’re interested in traditional or modern cooking styles, Chieko is a flexible instructor who can adapt to your preferences. Before cooking, choose your menu: -Traditional gozen set: This assortment of flavors and ingredients has a little of everything: a meat plate, a fish plate, a side dish, miso soup, and an onigiri rice ball. It’s perfect for those who want to learn how to make a rounded home-cooked meal the Japanese way. Yum! -Beef and potato nikujaga stew set: A hearty, steamy bowl of goodness, nikujaga consists of a dashi broth base topped with braised beef and chunks of potato, carrot, and onion. On the side, you will also prepare tamagoyaki (Japanese-style rolled omelet), miso soup, and Japanese rice. -Rolled sushi set: Gone are the days of store-bought sushi! Roll and chop your own sushi pieces, and pair them with either yellowtail fish or chicken teriyaki and miso soup. -Okonomiyaki and yakisoba set: Okonomiyaki is a savory concoction made of batter, chopped cabbage, and other ingredients sizzled in a teppan grill and served with sauces and toppings. Yakisoba, on the other hand, is a stir-fried dish with ramen noodles, typically paired with chicken and vegetables and a bulky sweet and savory sauce. A side dish will be added to complete the set.
