Mayuko’s Japanese Home Cooking Class in Tokyo

Join Mayuko for a Japanese Home Cooking Class!

Visit Mayuko’s kitchen and learn the fundamentals of Japanese home cooking. Starting with a welcoming cup of matcha tea, your cooking instructor will ease you into the class. Mayuko has a passion for teaching Japanese home-style dishes that are usually unknown to foreigners visiting Japan; not just ramen and sushi, but the foods that are actually cooked quite frequently at home. She’ll give an introduction to the necessary ingredients for dashi, the backbone of Japanese cooking, as well as three types of miso. Then, she’ll get everyone involved in the cooking process, making classic Japanese dishes like nasu dengaku and salmon chanchanyaki. Mayuko’s good humor and warmth make her cooking class a truly memorable and fun experience.

Eat Meet Japan 2020 Jury Award Winner

ABOUT EAT! MEET! JAPAN:

Eat! Meet! Japan is a project created by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF) to recognize and promote the best Japanese food experiences nationwide. For 2020, 15 winning experiences were selected, representing 11 prefectures of Japan. The judges chose a diverse range of experiences, but they all have one thing in common: bringing people together through food and providing a window into the deep culture of the area represented. Food is a gateway into topics like history, spirituality, sustainability, local agriculture, craftsmanship, and more. In recognizing these 15 winning experiences, Eat! Meet! Japan hopes to share Japanese culture with the world.
