About

It's Sakura season, the city will be covered by pink and whilte. We will walk to Yoyogi Park which is 15-minute walk from our studio. The park is a famous location to enjoy Hanami( cherry blossom viewing) season, the beautiful Meiji Jingu Shrine is just next to Yoyogi park. On the way to the park, we will chat about the tradition and story during the Sakura season.

You can choose the menu from Sushi making to Japanese home-style cooking class.

Sushi Making

The sushi class includes three kinds of sushi (Temari, Nigiri and Gunkan-makiax), Chawan-mushi (Japanese steamed egg custard) and miso soup. Can enjoy making tasty and healthy sushi, talking with new friends and food. If you don't know Chawan-mushi yet, try it, it's very yummy. And you can learn how to make real Miso soup. It's absolutely different from an instant one in the supermarket. You will know the culture and history behind the soup too.

Preparing a dish is a combination of arts and crafts. Cooking is only a small part of the production process. Each ingredient is carefully and selected and matched with the main ingredient in a definite order and manner. Does it make you think of a symphony orchestra? Yes. A dish is a symphony of perfectly matched tastes.

Japanese home-style

The purpose of cooking is to release the tastes and flavours of the ingredients in definite proportions to each other. Cooking at the right temperature for the right duration is very crucial to the final taste of any dish, and this is more particularly true for the Japanese dishes.

You can learn authentic Japanese home cooking and the food culture during the class. Gyoza dumplings are popular in Japan. To make gyoza is very fun. First we spread the gyoza pastry and wrap it with fillings from fresh ingredients. Enjoy the good time of hands-on experience and tasty, healthy gyoza with your new friends in class.

Our kitchen studio is several minutes walk from the famous Shibuya crossing. It's easy to find.

"FANTASTIC!"

The cooking experience at Emi's house was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Emi welcomed us and immediately, after putting us at ease with some excellent tea, taught us how to prepare some of the most famous dishes of Japanese cuisine. It was an experience we will never forget and we hope, one day, to be able to go back and cook together with Emi.

"Excellent!"

As someone new to Japan, I ended up being 15 minutes late to the class because I took the wrong train ;( Despite that, the instructor was very nice, and we managed to take our time through the whole class. It was fun learning the three different types of sushi, and I feel like I'm able to take these skills and practice them back in the USA :) She was fun to talk to, and was happy to share her knowledge of Japan. The food was super great too, when it was ready. This was a very rewarding experience with an engaging person to teach you. I highly recommend 😁

"Etty"

My parents and I booked the sushi making class and we loved it. Emi made it very fun and we made lots of delicious sushi. My dad did not enjoy sushi before, and this changed his mind and he now enjoys it! I would thoroughly recommend this class to anyone

"Lovely teacher and delicious food"

My friend and I originally booked the sushi class but since I am vegetarian, we asked for a vegetarian sushi option. Unfortunately this wasn’t possible but Emi offered to teach us another japanese dish. We decided to cook Okonomiyaki and it was delicious! We also cooked a soup and prepared a sidedish and in the end Emi gave us a japanese orange, it was soooo good. Emi was lovely and made sure we felt comfortable. She picked us up from the station and walked us back to the station after the class, such a sweetheart. Her english was great so it was super easy to hold a conversation with her. We had an amazing experience and would totally recommend to book this class! Thank you Emi

"An overall fun experience"

Booking this class was a good idea. Emi was an effective teacher. I learned about sushi and Japanese food culture. There was also a lot of food, and I went home, stuffed. You have to consider booking here if you're in Tokyo.
