Experience the comfort of home-style Japanese cooking in this heartwarming class in Nagoya. Learn from Grandma Junko, a Nagoya native who has spent years sharing her passion for healthy, seasonal cooking.

She began her journey by opening a natural food store. She later taught classes on healthy cakes and natural yeast bread. Today, she brings that same care and knowledge into every class.

A licensed cook with a strong focus on hygiene, Grandma Junko is also a self-proclaimed miso and vegetable sommelier. Her class offers a thoughtful introduction to washoku, traditional Japanese cuisine centered on balance and seasonality.

During this hands-on experience, learn the philosophy behind washoku and explore key ingredients used in everyday cooking. Enjoy a tasting of fermented seasonings, including miso and koji, a traditional fermented rice culture.

You will prepare an ichiju sansai meal, meaning one soup and three dishes, a structure that creates a well-balanced menu. Choose your main dish: chicken or salmon. The chicken option is selected by default, but guests can request salmon when booking through the Options tab.

The meal includes a Japanese rolled omelet, spinach with sesame sauce, a hearty tofu and vegetable soup with soy sauce, and two onigiri with salmon flakes and katsuobushi.

Your main dish will be either grilled red miso chicken or grilled salmon with salted rice malt.
