I am happy to arrange dishes If you have a specific request for your food and will teach you how to substitute with other ingredients. However, please note that there is a possibility of contamination and please refrain from taking the class if you have a severe allergy or you are strict believers.
I am a cooking expert and certified cooking instructor in a Japanese cooking school in English. I conducted cooking workshops at 9 countries in Oceania, Asia and Europe. I especially focus on teaching and cooking for people who have food restrictions so that everyone can enjoy food at the same table. One time, I had many restrictions in my diet such as wheat, milk, eggs, soy beans, and also experienced attending to foreign employees with allergy and religious background when I used to work for a foreign company in Japan. In the midst of all this, I could not forget the warm hospitality and cooking classes I had during my trips, and decided that I would like to return this gratitude to the foreigners visiting and living in Japan . Since then, while studying medicinal cooking, shojin ryori, macrobiotic, vegan, and vegetarian cooking, I have been cooking and supervising menus at organic cafes and food stores, selling gluten-free and vegan medicinal lunch and dinner boxes, and researching healthy cooking that can be enjoyed by everyone in various backgrounds.
I live in Oyamadai which is a peaceful and cozy area just 20 minutes from Shibuya by train. We Todoroki canyon and Kuhonbutu temples are walking distance and also you can enjoy shopping in Jiyugaoka.
I am happy to arrange food you would like to eat depending on your request and looking forward to sharing our food culture with you.
