Hello! My name is Amita. As an Indian vegetarian with a lifelong passion for
cooking, I have been exploring the culinary world since I was 15 years old. Now, with over 25 years of living in Japan, I've mastered the art of creating delicious vegetarian and vegan dishes in a country where such options aren't always readily available.
My culinary repertoire includes a variety of cuisines, from Indian and Mexican to traditional Japanese, tailored to suit vegetarian and vegan diets.
Living in Asakusabashi, a renowned sightseeing spot in Tokyo, I am not only passionate about food but also about sharing my love for different
cultures. My home is a gateway to fascinating shopping spots and delectable restaurants in Tokyo, and I'm always eager to introduce these hidden gems to visitors.
In addition to hosting cooking classes, I work with Wabi Sabi Travel Co. Japan. I serve as a host for their vegan and vegetarian culinary learning clients, accommodating up to six guests at a time. My role also extends to being a personal shopper and stylist, helping clients discover the best of Tokyo's fashion and shopping scene.
Join me for an unforgettable culinary experience, where we explore the wonders of vegan and vegetarian Japanese cuisine together!
Let's meet at Asakusabashi station (Asakusa Line: A4 Exit, Sobu Line: West Exit) which is just 10 mins away from Tokyo station.
Hello, my name is Amita. I am an Indian vegetarian and have loved cooking since I was 15 years old. Even after living in Japan for more than 25 years, cooking remains one of the most important and enjoyable parts of my daily life. Since vegetarian food is not always easy to find in Japan, I learned to create a wide variety of delicious vegetarian and vegan dishes at home.
I enjoy cooking many cuisines including Indian, Japanese, Mexican, and fusion dishes. I especially love sharing authentic vegetarian Japanese home cooking and introducing guests to unique ingredients and food culture in Japan.
I also enjoy meeting people from different countries, sharing stories, and learning about new cultures. My home is in Asakusabashi, a charming area of Tokyo known for sightseeing, shopping, and hidden local restaurants.

★★★★★We very much enjoyed the vegetarian cooking class! The welcoming and homely atmosphere was really nice and the gyoza and ramen recipes were delicious and of a good level (as in, new flavours for us but very doable to try at home as well). Thanks a lot Amita!

Dear Floor and Sander,
I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed the vegetarian cooking class and felt comfortable in the homely atmosphere. It’s great to know you found the ramen and gyoza both new in flavour yet still easy to recreate at home, that’s exactly what I hope for!
It was a pleasure hosting you, and I truly appreciate your kind words.
Hope to welcome you again in Tokyo someday!
Warm regards,
Amita

★★★★★We had a wonderful cooking class with Amita. She was very friendly, chatty and welcomed us into her home. She explained everything really clearly and assisted us if we needed any tips or help- particularly when folding the gyozas! She made sure that everything was vegan for us, which was fantastic. Would recommend!

Thank you so much, Holly, for your kind words!
My apologies for the late reply. I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed the vegan ramen and gyoza cooking class and felt comfortable in my home. It was a pleasure hosting you both, and I’m especially glad the gyoza folding tips helped.
Making sure everything is fully vegan and easy to follow is always important to me, so your feedback truly means a lot.
Wishing you lots of fun recreating the recipes at home, and I hope to welcome you again in Tokyo someday!
Warm regards,
Amita
