东京烹饪课程

My first time joining an onigiri-making class, and I had so much fun. 🍙🤍 Please take a moment to read this. This experience was such a privilege and something I'll always remember. While I enjoyed learning how to make onigiri, what truly captured my heart was hearing the story behind it from our teacher, who has spent years perfecting this craft. Many people think making onigiri is simple and technically, it is. But making it with love, compassion, dedication, and a genuine desire to nourish others is what makes it truly special. That is the secret ingredient you can never replicate. We also learned that the rice they use comes from Niigata's Sekikawa Village (関川村), where premium Koshihikari rice is grown. The clean water and rich natural environment of Japan contribute to the exceptional quality and flavor of the rice, making every bite taste even more special. After hearing their stories, I realized that what they truly want to share isn't just how to make onigiri it's the heart, culture, and tradition behind it. It's about showing the world what makes Japanese onigiri different. I'm so grateful to have experienced this. It wasn't just a cooking class—it was a beautiful lesson about passion, craftsmanship, and sharing kindness through food. A memory I'll always cherish and one I'm happy to share with others. 🇯🇵🍙

The lesson moved at a great pace, which felt really comfortable! And the taste? Absolutely perfect! 👍 I loved how the instruction was tailored to my preferences and how carefully the flavors were checked along the way—it was fantastic! For the mushroom mixed rice, the dashi stock made from dried shiitake mushrooms and kombu was excellent. We cooked it in a pot, so we even got to enjoy the crispy, caramelized rice crust (*okoge*) at the bottom! Turning the used kombu into *furikake* seasoning was a delicious example of eco-friendly cooking! Tomoko-sensei’s homemade pickled *koume* plums paired perfectly with the rice—it was incredibly delicious! Then there was the tofu steak! With that all-purpose sauce, making a steak is a breeze—a truly superb dish! The potato potage was also easy to make and delicious. 😋 Adding a dash of cinnamon to change up the flavor was a brand-new experience for me! I devoured it in no time! Next was the stir-fried eggplant with miso. Mmm, so tasty! The hand-torn shiso leaves added a lovely accent. The lesson was packed with treats—Tomoko-sensei’s homemade salad, plum wine, plum juice, and matcha jelly—leaving me completely satisfied! Above all, it was such a fun time, filled with wonderful hospitality! The food was delicious, of course, but the conversation while cooking was just so much fun. It feels like that positive energy is infused right into the dishes! I’d love to sign up for another class!

This was an incredible experience and Masako was a knowledgable and friendly instructor; she shared recipes from her own life and answered all our questions. The food was delicious, we learned a lot, and we are extremely grateful for the experience. Thank you Masako!

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

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

도쿄여행 중 가장 즐거웠던 시간이었습니다. 평소에도 일본 가정식에 관심이 많았는데 유카 선생님 덕분에 잘 배웠습니다. 다음번에도 꼭 방문할 예정입니디 🙂👍 선생님 건강하세요 !

Great experience. Chef is so kind and the class is a ton of fun. Food tasted amazing and we learned a lot. High quality fresh ingredients from Japan. Highly recommended!

Delightful! Everyone in my family loved making mochi with Sakura (and petting Choco at the end) and she taught us so much! It was one of our favorite activities

"We would also like to thank you again very much, dear Miho-san, for this first glimpse into Japanese cuisine and culture. Your friendly, calm and humorous manner was very pleasant. Thank you also for your patience in answering all our questions. Many of the foods and their preparation that you showed us were completely new to us- but we found that very interesting. You had prepared so much for us- I personally quickly lost my fear of embarrassing myself. Thank you so much for that, Miho-san! Your cooking class was a wonderful day for us, one that we will always remember." (It`s a translation from german to english by Google) Marjana, Tino and Martin Gedlich

We had a wonderful time and experience at Sakura san’s class. The class was very well organised and structured. Our nine year old is very shy and Sakura san approached her with patience and after a while she felt comfortable. We’re so glad that we did this and recommend the class wholeheartedly. Thank you for the great time, Sakura san🌸

My wife, daughters and I had an amazing time. It was delicious and they were patient with my 2 year old. Definitely recommend!

What a lovely experience making Udon noodles. Chef Chinki was most welcoming and clearly explained every step. She is very passionate about cooking with the best possible fresh ingredients to accompany the udon noodles. Many of them were new to me. Thank you for sharing your skills.
