  Meet Tomoko at Todoroki Station and enjoy a 13-minute walk to her home, passing Todoroki Fudoson Temple and a traditional Japanese garden along the way. Then step inside a local home for a private, hands-on Japanese cooking class in Tokyo. During your 2-hour cooking class, learn to prepare authentic Japanese food using simple ingredients and techniques Tomoko uses when cooking for her family. Choose one main dish from favorites such as gyoza, ramen, okonomiyaki (savory Japanese pancake), sushi rolls, yakimeshi (fried rice), karaage (Japanese fried chicken), or teriyaki salmon, plus a seasonal side dish. Tomoko will share practical tips so you can recreate the dishes at home. After cooking, sit down together to enjoy your homemade Japanese meal with miso soup, homemade plum wine, beer or green tea, followed by a Japanese dessert.
