What to expect

Join a unique Japanese home cooking experience led by a mother-daughter team in the heart of Tokyo.
Mari, a professional culinary expert featured in TV programs and magazines, and her daughter Ayumi, a bilingual interpreter and assistant, will guide you through every step of the experience — all in English.

First, we'll visit a local Japanese supermarket together to pick up fresh ingredients and discover everyday Japanese food culture. Back in our home kitchen, we'll introduce the cultural background of the dishes through a short slideshow. Then you'll learn how to prepare traditional Japanese home-cooked dishes, cook together, and enjoy a warm meal at the table.

This is more than just a cooking class — it's a cultural exchange. As Tokyo locals with over 15 years of experience living in the city, we're also happy to help you plan your trip or share local tips over the meal.

You'll take home the recipes so you can recreate every dish after your trip.

Come hungry and curious — and leave with full stomachs and happy hearts!
