Do you love Japanese food and want to learn how to cook it yourself? This hands-on experience is perfect for anyone interested in authentic, healthy Japanese home-style cuisine.
The journey begins with a visit to a local supermarket, where you’ll learn how to choose fresh meats, fish, vegetables, and seasonings used in everyday Japanese cooking. Then, move to a professional kitchen studio for a guided class. You’ll practice knife skills, make dashi and sushi rice, and cook classic dishes such as miso soup, eggplant dengaku, dashimaki tamago, and sushi.
After cooking, enjoy your meal and take home recipes to recreate it anytime. The studio is located near Asakusa and Kappabashi, ideal for sightseeing afterward.
