Tokyo cooking class

While eating Japanese cuisine is the highlight of any trip to Japan, it's nothing compared to learning how to cook it yourself.

We'll arrange for you to join a group class for an in-depth lesson in everyday Japanese cooking. Run by a a Tokyoite and dedicated foodie, Yoshimi prides herself on using simple, fresh ingredients to prepare hearty food that you can recreate at home.

Step one of Yoshimi's classes is an introduction to Japanese seasonings such as soy sauce, miso, sake and mirin. You'll learn how these are made, and the differences they can make to any Japanese dish. Next Yoshimi will brief you on table manners so you'll soon be using chopsticks like a pro. Then the main bulk of your class is preparing an everyday Japanese dish. Following Yoshimi's demonstration, it'll be your turn to get hands on in the kitchen and cook up a storm.
