Tokyo Dashi Food Experiences

If you are looking for an authentic ramen making experience that caters to a vegan diet, look no further. I've been to many vegan cooking classes in the US for american dishes and wanted have a true ramen making experience in the heart of it all. Kaori delivered; 15/10 experience! Kaori is an exceptional host, chef, and great person. She was able to provide an experience through the market identifying the ingredients for the ramen and gyoza, open her home to create an exceptional meal, and provided translations to common phrases you need to get around Japan. In addition, she even gave recommendations to local restaurants and shops. My husband and I had such an amazing time making ramen and gyoza and were too full after 😅 it was a highlight of our first trip to Japan. Definitely would recommend to everyone to book this experience before you spend time at any other tourist attraction. This experience beats any view you pay for in the city.

I had such a wonderful time! The food was delicious, and Yuka-san has a lovely personality. I’d love to come back!

A great session with Takako, learning about Japanese home cooking and the benefits for fermented foods. Tasted koji, kombu, mirin and a variety of soy sauces. Takako then made some healthy and delicious dishes, which was a good change from some heavier restaurant meals. The recipes were also provided! Would definitely recommend.

Kaori was such a nice and friendly host. Would definitely recommend the vegan cooking class for an authentic and very nice and yummy experience!

I had a very enjoyable and educational cooking class at Yuka's home. Everything was explained well, including the background of Shojin Ryori. The visit to the supermarket afterwards was also a real added bonus. Thank you, Yuka, for the wonderful day in your kitchen.

Learning to cook was the objective, Miss Yamakasi made it an unforgettable experience. Connecting and bonding through food and the preparation thereof was everything I'd hoped for. Would happily recommend!

Yuka's class was fantastic! She provided cultural context on shojin ryori traditions which helped bring special meaning to our cooking. I got SO many helpful, practical tips for cooking each element of the meal that I'm so excited to replicate at home. I'm definitely planning on taking more of her classes when I return to Japan in the future.

Nice lesson, tasty recipes, accomodating host. With the recipes sent afterwards, at least the oyakodon should be well reproducible back home, miso soup maybe not as it heavily relies on good miso. Looking forward to try it out.

Exceptionally friendly and authentic. Totally loved it !!

楽しい授業です。料理が好きな方におすすめです。

It was a fantastic and fun experience with Kaori san, we learnt how to prepare a ramen and gyoza in an easy way.

I had a great experience with Mika's class, she is an extremely kind and experienced instructor. I really enjoyed learning how to create a bento from A to Z. Fully recommend!
