Sample Menu
The menu varies by season, but the following is a typical example:
Traditional-Style Vegan Sushi Roll
(with kanpyo, seasoned shiitake mushrooms, tofu omelette, and seasonal vegetables)
Gomaae: Seasonal greens dressed in a creamy sesame sauce.
Pickled Ginger: A refreshing palate cleanser served with sushi.
Osumashi (Clear Soup) or Miso Soup with Seasonal Vegetables: Learn how to prepare authentic Japanese soup stock (plant-based dashi) and create a comforting soup.
Miso soup is a traditional Japanese soup. It's base is "dashi" (Japanese fish stock) and Miso paste. Common added ingredients are Tofu, Green onion and deep‐fried tofu but differs by personal preference. The type of miso is different from region. In western and Easter Japan white miso is mostly used.
Makizushi (sushi rolls) are a beloved part of Japanese culinary tradition, known for their balance of flavor, texture, and visual beauty. While many modern sushi rolls are creative and international, this class focuses on classic ingredients such as simmered kanpyo and dried shiitake mushrooms, prepared in a fully plant-based style.
In this class, you will learn the fundamentals of sushi rice preparation and the techniques for creating elegant sushi rolls, along with seasonal vegetable dishes and traditional soup that complement the meal. Using fresh, seasonal ingredients, you will gain practical skills and a deeper understanding of Japanese food culture.

I'm a cooking expert and instructor specializing in healthy Japanese cuisine, teaching in English.
from 2023 to 2025, I conducted cooking workshops in 10 countries in Oceania, Asia and Europe.
I usually host classes at home in the peaceful and cozy Oyamadai neighborhood, located just a 20-minute train ride from Shibuya, Tokyo.
In the class, I teach Japanese cooking skills and seasonal menus using fresh seasonal vegetables (mostly organic or pesticide-free), traditional Japanese seasonings and additive-free products.
I also focus on classes for people with dietary restrictions, such as vegans and gluten-free people, so that everyone can enjoy their meals together.
In the past, I had many dietary restrictions such as wheat, milk, eggs. I also supported foreign colleagues with food allergies and religious dietary needs.
During those times, When I traveled abroad, people were so nice and made sure I had something to eat. I'll never forget that, so I wanted to do the same for foreigners here in Japan.
Since then, I have studied various healthy cooking methods, including medicinal cuisine, macrobiotics, Shojin cuisine, and also explored gluten-free cooking. After that, I developed and supervised healthy menus at an organic cafe and a grocery store. Now, while teaching cooking, I am researching healthy cuisine that can be enjoyed by people of all backgrounds.
I am happy to arrange food according to your request, and looking forward to sharing our food culture with you.
