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.
