Rice is a staple food in Japan. In all most every family, there is a rice cooker. There is variety of Japanese rice brands such as Koshihikari and Hitomebore.
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.
Japanese popular alcoholic drink must be Sake, or called Nihonshu, made from fermented rice. The foundation of good sake is quality rice, clean water, koji mold and yeast. Premium sake differentiates itself in quality of ingredients and production process, so that flavors ranges light and crisp to richer, fruity notes.
In this class, you will make dashi soup from scratch and beautifully arrange meals that Japanese people usually eat into Shokado bento boxes. We will prepare all the dishes by hand and enjoy them slowly with your favorite alcohol. We try to keep it healthy by reducing sugar and salt as much as possible. This is a classroom that will satisfy you.

★★★★★I did the Bento Box class with my adult daughter on Christmas day. Making Bento Boxes with Shirley was a fantastic experience! Even though it was Christmas….jingle bells we’re playing everywhere in Japan….. we never felt rushed. When you enter her business it’s like a home, but she doesn’t live there. She uses the place for her culinary kitchen for other business, a rice ball take away restaurant. Her business feels like home, casual and non-threatening. You don’t feel like you’re in a 90 minute cooking student mill. They don’t want to know you, just follow the instructions. Shirley is a culinary chef, which she demonstrates in simple casual demeanor. She does that while engaging in fun conversations about cooking and life! She wants to know about your life and and is open about her culinary career. She is non-arrogant and had us taste the food as it was cooked. And ask if we would like it more salty or sweeter. That is a good cook who wants to please her guests! My daughter does not speak Japanese, I speak a limited amount. Shirley speaks English as she lived in California when she was younger. The bento box was beautiful and we learned new easy to make simple but beautiful recipes. We ate our meal at her table that had over 100 old wood. Wonderful story how she got the table. She gave me green tea as requested and gave my daughter, a bottle of delicious sake! When we left, my daughter and I felt like she became a friend, I’m addition, I left my glasses at her kitchen. She contacted my daughter. We didn’t have a car. She asked what hotel we are located. She and her husband drove dropped off my mom’s glasses at hotel reception! She also emailed her recipes. Shirley has a beautiful soul and a great teacher for cooking Japanese food. She is the kind of chef who loves food and knows that food is love which you share with those you love. I highly recommend her!
