Thanks for the best class and being so accommodating of the kids. We all loved it and was a highlight of our time in Tokyo.

It was a super fun experience that I would highly recommend to all others looking for a bit of a more immersive experience while in Japan.

It was an incredible experience! Absolutely a must for every trip to Japan.

We did 5 days intensive course and it was fabulous! Because we liked it we asked Cooking Sun and learnt how to make Osechi the Japanese traditional New Year feast, which was a great success too!

Thank you so much for a wonderful class and delicious meal!! We so enjoyed the experience!!

4worldlovers: My cooking classes are suited for people who want to enjoy Japanese local culture and a homestyle meal, cooked in an actual home. My classes are an entirely different experience from studio-type cooking classes, as you will sneak into a local’s life and get personal attention.

Learn a homestyle approach to cooking simple and yummy Japanese dishes. I will teach you how to prepare delicious home cooked meals with simple recipes and techniques which you will be able to use when you return home. All in-person classes are held in English and last about 3 hours.

In this Tokyo Cooking Class, I will teach you how to prepare what Japanese people really eat as an everyday meal in a private little kitchen in the middle of Tokyo. You can learn the basics of Japanese food, seasonings, and table customs in a warm, friendly atmosphere. Our small home cooking classes are all in English.

A Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice for each of the past 7 years, and chosen as one of the TOP 10 activities in all of Japan in 2018. Many expats and tourists have visited my kitchen and learned to cook Japanese with me. Please check their reviews on Tripadvisor.

Food in restaurants and what people eat at home are always very different. Eating what the locals make at home is an experience you will never have in restaurants. It is my intention to teach you what Japanese really eat at home, and to do so in a regular home setting.

4worldlovers: Thank you so much for visiting "Yuka Mazda's Japanese Cooking Class", the Japanese Home Cooking Class in Tokyo! Are you planning a visit Tokyo and would like to try cooking Japanese food and cuisine at home? If so you have to come to the right place.

You can experience a real Japanese home as well as learn to cook TRADITIONAL JAPANESE MEALS. So if you really want to make the most of your time in Japan, try Yuka’s sushi class in little Tokyo!

Yuka started teaching how to cook because she realized she has a strong passion for teaching really easy and simple Japanese home meals and also PROFESSIONAL MENUS IN THE RESTAURANT that anyone can learn. She first started her career as a Chef by publishing many books and magazines and has even been featured on many Japanese cooking shows on TV. One reason why it is so difficult for people to learn Japanese cooking is that the Japanese restaraunts rarely feature menu's that you can cook at home. At Yuka Mazda's Japanese Cooking Class you learn how to make Japanese cuisines that anyone from any country can learn.

Yuka’s cooking class is different from the other cooking classes in Tokyo because you are able to experience a real Japanese cooking class from the comfort of a traditional Japanese home. In actuality, making sushi is much harder than it looks. There are specific things you have to do in order to make sure the shape, texture and flavor of the sushi is just right. In addition to preparing the sushi, Yuka teaches her students how to cut the fish block at just the right angle to make the sushi look extremely professional. Sushi also has different levels of quality, and with Yuka’s sushi class you will get the most delicious savory tuna cuts that you can find in Tokyo.
