Tokyo 豆腐 料理教室

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.

楽しい授業です。料理が好きな方におすすめです。

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!

Emi was wonderful. The food was great. Well with the experience. The okonomiyaki were the highlight.

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!

It was such a great experience getting to meet Yuka-san and learn how to make several different Shojin Ryori dishes. She is a fabulous teacher and the food we made together was absolute delicious. I only hope that I can make several of these dishes by myself and have them taste as delicious as what we made together. If you have any interest in learning to make Japanese vegan/plant based dishes, then I would suggest you definitely take this class from her.

Very nice experience! Yuka-san was able to adjust the menu to my request (I wanted to try making sesame tofu) and taught me a lot about shojin ryori. Afterwards we went to the supermarket and she helped me to pick up the things I wanted to buy and take home with me. Thank you! ありがとうございます！

Yuka-san was an incredible and gracious hostess! My girlfriend and I learned so much and really enjoyed the peaceful and intimate atmosphere of our lesson. Shyōjin Ryōri is a beautiful art that encourages mindfulness, sustainability, and results in delicious food. I recommend Yuka-san’s lesson to anyone who wants to learn about Buddhist tradition, mindful cooking and gain peace of mind. She was so accommodating to our taste preferences and was able to make a last minute change to the recipe when we forgot to mention an allergy. We appreciated Yuka-san’s efforts to use seasonal vegetables. Additionally, her husband was incredibly kind and they have an adorable little finch that joined us for dinner! This was such a memorable experience and we highly recommend taking a cooking lesson with Yuka-san!

I enjoyed Yuka-san's cooking class a lot and would recommend it to anyone interested in Shojin Ryori, vegan cuisine or just good, healthy food in general. Yuka-san is a very sweet and calm person and answered my questions thoroughly. The food we prepared together was a feast for all senses - beautiful-looking and full of distinctive flavors, not to mention very tasty.

It was a very unique and wonderful experience. Maria is a very cheerfull teacher, she was very patient with me. We made Dashi, Dashimaki Tamago (japanese rolled omelet) and Onigiri. She explained to me the importance of Dashi in the japanese cuisine. We was able to talk about lot of things about Japan. Being able to cook in the shrine is an unique experience. I was also able to get the Goshuin of this shrine by Maria. I highly recommend this experience! For the little plus, the shrine is quite peaceful, there are trees around it that make shadows, that makes it quite enjoyable even during summer.
