Market to Meal in a Japanese Cooking Class

Sobre nosotros

I created this cooking experience because I really want my guests to see great selection of Japanese local ingredients, and also discovering what we shop and eat in our real life. As a cooking teacher, I travel lots of markets from farmer’s market to international gourmet markets. As I always say in my class, ingredients are the most important thing in cooking, not your skill, so you must have a market you trust. This is the market I truly trust in Tokyo for freshens of produces, selection they have, and customer care they maintain. From this experience, I will show you and explain ingredients of the fundamental of Japanese cooking. I will also talk about what makes wagyu so special, and how to recognize freshness of fish much more. My goal for this experience is my guests will confidently choose good quality of ingredients back home and re-create this class menu at home for their family and friends.
