+Experience Details
Experience authentic Japanese home cooking in a relaxed, small-group class at a local home kitchen in Tokyo.
In this hands-on lesson, you will prepare sushi rolls, crispy tempura, and delicate chawanmushi, a savory egg custard often made for special meals in Japanese homes. You will also enjoy a seasonal Japanese dessert that changes throughout the year. In March and April, for example, sakura mochi is prepared to celebrate the arrival of spring.
The experience begins with a short walk from the nearest station to the host’s home kitchen, where you will be welcomed and introduced to the menu. You will start by preparing the seasonal dessert, then move on to making dashi.
This Japanese broth serves as the foundation for many traditional dishes. Next, you will create sushi rolls together and learn the proper technique for preparing chawanmushi, including the steaming method that gives it its smooth, delicate texture.
Afterward, you will prepare tempura and learn key tips for achieving a light and crispy finish. Once all the dishes are ready, you will arrange them and set the table before sitting down to enjoy the meal together.
Throughout the class, you will gain practical skills, hands-on experience, and an understanding of the balance and presentation that make Japanese home cooking so special.
