Step into a local Tokyo kitchen for a private Japanese cooking class that combines authentic home cooking with warm hospitality. Begin with green tea as your host, a certified Japanese calligrapher, writes your name in beautiful Kanji before guiding you through simple, seasonal recipes that are easy to recreate at home. Choose from handmade udon, tempura, okonomiyaki or Japanese sweets, then relax over the meal you've prepared together, ending with homemade plum or yuzu sake.

What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Please meet Masako at a shrine which is close to her home, she will be waiting in front of Choenji Temple長円寺 . Exact address can be found in your ticket upon booking confirmation.
What to expect
Learn to cook authentic Japanese recipes from scratch in your cooking class in Tokyo. Learn to make udon from scratch with a local. You will be kneading the dough with your hands (and feet) and turning it into noodles. It is hard work but worth it to get homemade udon noodles, far superior to store-bought ones. Other meal options that you can choose from (instead of udon noodles) in your cooking class are okonomiyaki or tempura or Japanese sweets. Please let Masako know your preference when you create your booking. Dishes will be cooked using some fresh, seasonal ingredients from the farmers market. After cooking, you will enjoy a sit-down meal that ends with sweet homemade plum or yuzu sake.
