Discover everyday Japanese food culture in a private, beginner-friendly cooking class with local host Risa in Saitama, just a short train ride from Tokyo. Learn to prepare dashi, the flavourful stock that forms the foundation of many Japanese dishes, and explore traditional home-cooking techniques in a welcoming local setting. Then sit down to enjoy the homemade meal you’ve prepared and gain skills you can recreate in your own kitchen. Join Risa for a delightful 2.5-hour hands-on cooking class and meal where you'll learn to prepare a typical, homestyle Japanese meal. Risa is a passionate young tour guide in Tokyo, who learned to cook from her mother. Begin with a warm welcome and a drink of Japanese tea or coffee as Risa introduces the menu. Under her guidance, you'll learn about Japanese ingredients and cook an authentic Japanese meal including learning to make dashi from scratch in her cosy kitchen and a Japanese curry. Afterwards, sit down to enjoy the meal together, with the chance to meet her boyfriend if he's home. Perfect for beginners, this class offers a friendly and authentic Japanese culinary experience.
