Authentic home cooking with a local Tokyo host

As Hiro's kitchen has limited space, you will do some of the prep work outside in the dining area, and use the kitchen stove for the final cooking. Your cooking experience will last about an hour before you sit down together to enjoy the meal you helped prepare and chat with Hiro and her roommate, if she's present, about local cuisine and culture. The menu might include dishes such as takoyaki (octopus in fried dough), nikujaga (traditional Japanese slow-cooked meat and vegetable stew), chirashi-sushi (sushi rice with colorful scattered toppings) or chawan-mushi (soft and tender steamed egg and vegetables in a cup) served with miso soup. Let Hiro know when you make your booking if there is a particular dish you'd like to try.

Please note, this is not a commercial cooking class, rather this experience is a visit into a Tokyo home to meet a local who is an expert cook, and share Japanese culture and cuisine together.
