Tokyo Washoku Classes

It was a delicious and enjoyable experience! It’s great to experience Japan’s rice culture, too.

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.

I had the absolute pleasure of attending the fermentation class today! It was incredibly eye-opening to see how knowledge of miso and other traditional elements can be beautifully applied to everyday cooking. From appetizers and mains to desserts, I was truly amazed by the versatility of these fermented ingredients. The instructor was exceptionally patient and attentive, taking the time to answer all of my questions with great care. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to elevate their culinary journey and experience the true magic of fermentation!

Was great fun to learn how to make Onigiri with a lot of different fillings!

To get straight to the point, Yuki is a fantastic cooking instructor (also a lovely person) and I would highly recommend her cooking classes to anyone interested in learning to make Japanese cuisine at home! In the ramen/gyoza class we took, Yuki walked us through the elements of the dishes we made and also highlighted what to do for different regional variations. Any questions I had (sometimes before I could ask it) she was able to answer! e.g. the purpose of different ingredients, their alternatives if you can't easily find them outside Japan, how to cook for friends with dietary requirements, etc etc. Quick note: I recommend that you bring your appetite because 1) not only is the food you make so delicious; but 2) there's a lot of it! By the end of the class, my partner and I felt very confident we could easily apply what we had learnt back home and cook for (and impress) ourselves, family and friends. Thanks again Yuki!!

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 !!

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!

This is the best class for anyone who loves cooking. It is also a new and fun class for those who don't like cooking. Also, this cafe, which hosts this tour, is very friendly and caring to everyone. It has various souvenirs made with kome rice, and it is a very nice cafe that is eco-friendly. I will try to make onigiri in the way they taught me. If you go to Tokyo, Japan, you should definitely take this class. Not only will you have fun, you can also eat your own delicious onigiri. この店最高 :)

Mika did a great job teaching me how to cook various Japanese dishes! It was fun learning how to cook, and it was fun eating what we cooked! I highly recommend her cooking class!

great experience and insight into onigire making and rice possibilities.

It was fantastic! Our hosts were warm, knowledgeable, and welcoming. They explained a lot, let us try different things, and shared great tips. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience with a lovely group. Thank you! We’d be happy to come again.
