The Yakitori cooking class with Michiko Numato was an amazing experience and exceeded our expectations! I am a Japanese Canadian tourist and always wanted to learn how to cook Yakitori. Although there were other cooking classes, we chose Michiko since the class was taught in her home kitchen and provided a true home cooking experience that gave me the confidence to be able to cook Yakitori in our own kitchen. Michiko is very knowledgeable and a wonderful teacher. Her patience and enthusiasm has provided a novice cook like myself the motivation to cook as soon as we return home from our vacation. Indeed, Michiko is passionate about Japanese food and enjoys teaching others how to cook! We will recommend her to our friends and relatives who will travel to Japan and we will try Michiko’s other classes on our next vacation!

Chef Chiaki is a very personable trainer who met us on time at the agreed point; despite what she says, she is proficient in English which made it a lot easier too. She demonstrated a good knowledge of the products we were going to use, and what may be available in Australia. She was able to tell us which alternatives could be available (if the originals are not). The Udon noodles were so easy to make, and it was all over oh-so-quickly. Thank you Chiaki for a lovely and educational morning.

I had a great time learning how to make bento containing onigiri, karaage, tamagoyaki, along with some vegetables. I have very little experience with cooking, but Yuki-san was very patient and helpful, and made sure that I did most of the work myself so that I could properly learn the process. She explained the recipe for each part of the bento, how and where the recipe can vary between families, and why she makes the choices she does. She clearly has lots of experience and was able to condense it so that I could understand. The kitchen was very large and clean. It can easily hold multiple people at once. All of the ingredients were beautifully prepared ahead of time, along with printed copies of the recipes. After cooking all the food, Yuki-san helped me in preparing and decorating the bento box which I then ate out of to finish the day. The food was very good despite me making it. The flavors were very simple and delicate as Yuki-san explained is common in Japanese food. The food tasted very clean and fresh, even the fried karaage. Yuki-san is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about cooking and sharing her culture through food. Her English is very good and I was able to clearly understand and communicate with her. Her recipes are also very thoughtful and delicious. She even gave me a small gift of a Japanese-style kitchen towel before I left. I definitely would like to attend another of her classes again in the future, and would highly recommend attending!

We recently took part in a fluffy pancake cooking experience, and it completely exceeded my expectations! From start to finish, it was not just a cooking session—it was a joyful, hands-on experience filled with laughter, delicious aromas, and of course, the fluffiest pancakes I’ve ever tasted. Tomoko was welcoming, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient, guiding us through every step of the process with clear instructions and helpful tips. We learned how to get that perfect rise, the ideal golden colour, and a melt-in-your-mouth texture that made every bite feel like a cloud. The ingredients were fresh, and the pace was just right for both beginners and seasoned home cooks. We especially appreciated Tomoko going above and beyond to create an amazing experience from the scenic journey through a local temple, to personally guiding us to a local store in a neighbouring town to purchase matcha, and the stack of yummy food suggestions for our other Japan destinations! By the end, not only did I walk away with a stack of picture-perfect pancakes, but also with new skills and confidence to recreate them at home. Highly recommended for food lovers, families, or anyone looking to add some sweetness to their day!

We just had the BEST time at our ramen and gyoza making class!! We are a family of 4 so we had the whole class to ourselves!! Our host was so sweet and spoke perfect English. She picked us up at the meeting place (only one train stop away from the Ikebukuro station) and walked us down the street to the cute Japanese home where the class took place. Our chef was very friendly and knowledgeable. He taught us step by step how to make everything as our host translated. It was very hands-on and easy to follow! The food was delicious and we were given the recipes and instructions so we could make the dishes at home! After we ate, we enjoyed some Japanese sweets and learned how to make matcha tea the traditional way with a bamboo whisk. All in all, this class has been the highlight of our trip to Japan! We had a blast and the food was delicious! Do not hesitate to book this class on your trip to Japan!

Discover the Art of Japanese Home Cooking in Tokyo

Tokyo, a bustling city that seamlessly combines tradition and innovation, offers an array of culinary experiences that reflect its rich cultural heritage. Among the most rewarding experiences you can immerse yourself in are the Japanese Home Cooking Classes. Set in the comfort of a home-like environment, these classes provide a unique opportunity to learn from local chefs and home cooks, gaining insight into everyday Japanese dishes that are both delicious and simple to prepare. Tokyo is peppered with such experiences, each offering a heartfelt exchange of culture through food.

These classes are perfect for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Japan's culinary traditions by learning how to create authentic dishes. Participants will learn how to make popular home-style meals such as miso soup, sushi rolls, and tempura. Ingredients commonly used in Japanese cooking, such as mirin, soy sauce, and miso paste, will be explored, and you will gain the skills needed to source the freshest produce. This is an ideal way for travelers to not only learn about the techniques behind these meals but also the cultural significance each dish holds.

Learn from Experts in Authentic Settings

Japanese Home Cooking Classes in Tokyo offer a hands-on journey guided by seasoned professionals who have honed their skills over years. Each class is structured to introduce you to the fundamental cooking techniques employed in Japanese kitchens. Starting with the essentials, you will practice preparing dishes using traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. Whether it's the delicate balance required for perfect dashi broth or the intricate art of knife handling for sashimi, these classes are an educational feast.

Depending on the class, sessions can range from intimate groups in private home kitchens to slightly larger classes in dedicated cooking studios. This setting not only makes the experience enjoyable but also provides a comfortable learning environment where you can freely ask questions and engage with knowledgeable hosts. The classes often conclude with a communal meal where everyone partakes in the dishes prepared, fostering a sense of camaraderie and cultural exchange.

More Than Just Cooking: A Cultural Experience

Participating in a Japanese Home Cooking Class in Tokyo is more than just about learning recipes; it's a cultural immersion. You will understand the significance of meals like oden during the winter season or the subtle art behind the summer favorite, chilled somen noodles. Sharing stories with the local cooks and getting insights into Japanese customs ensures that you leave with a deeper connection to the culture.

These classes are adaptable to all skill levels, meaning you don't need to be a culinary expert to sign up. They also cater to dietary preferences and restrictions, ensuring everyone can partake and enjoy. At the end of the session, you will have acquired not only new skills but also a collection of recipes that you can recreate, bringing a taste of Japan's home-cooked warmth to your own kitchen.

Whether you are a foodie eager to delve deeper into Japanese cuisine or a traveler looking to experience something authentic, Tokyo's Japanese Home Cooking Classes offer a delightful and enriching experience. Each session promises to leave you inspired and equipped to bring a piece of Tokyo back to your own dining table.
