A Taste of Japan, A Memory

Join Ryoko in Tokyo for a private cooking class inspired by the meals she makes at home. Choose a main dish when you book, cook it together, then sit down to enjoy it with seasonal sides and a matcha dessert. Come on your own or bring family or friends and enjoy cooking at your own pace.

What Makes This Experience Special

01. Choose Your Cooking Class

Choose Wagyu Sukiyaki Class or Japanese Home Cooking Class, where you’ll make both teriyaki chicken and ginger pork. Everyone in your group joins the same class, and each guest cooks at their own station with Ryoko’s guidance.

02. Taste Dashi and Discover Umami

Start with a sip of dashi, the stock that gives dishes like miso soup their savory depth. Ryoko will show you how she uses dashi and everyday seasonings to balance flavors in Japanese home cooking.
