•Sake no hoiru yaki (Roasted salmon in foil)
This food is salmon with some different vegetables wrapped in foil and roasted.
Ingredients are salmon, onions, and Japanese mushrooms such as shimeji, enoki, eringi, maitake, and so on(only one or two kinds in this meal). Condiments are simple, cooking sake, salt and pepper, and butter. The best thing to roast in foil is you can put all the smells and tastes of food into it, which makes food rich and so good. You can tell full of umami taste once you eat it.
•Tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet)
This is a type of Japanese omelette that is made by rolling together several layers of fried beaten eggs. You often see this in a lunch box in Japan. It is a classic and best Japanese side dish that goes well with almost any Japanese food. Once you add it to the table, its color, bright yellow, will make your meal look even more yummy.
•Tsukemono (Japanese pickles)
This is pickled vegetables in salt, vinegar, miso, etc. There are many different kinds of pickles here in Japan and one of the most common traditional Japanese dishes. We often use Japanese radishes, cucumbers, carrots, eggplants, and so on.
•Miso shiru (Miso soup)
This is a soup made of dashi broth and miso with some ingredients. Miso soup is Japanese soul food, if you are born here you never miss eating it, one of the most common traditional Japanese dishes as well. There are many varieties of its ingredients. I'll use tofu, fried thin tofu, and some other fresh ingredients suitable for the season.
•Haku mai/Gokoku mai (white rice/mixed grain rice(optional))
Japanese rice is usually sticky compared to any other kind, and soft, even you can tell sweetness and flavor from its own.
It is said that grain rice is considered healthier in general because of its nutrients. It has more fiber, and vitamins and can slow down blood sugar levels. But it has a thicker and harder texture to eat compared to white rice. Also, it usually takes more time to cook it. It is totally optional which one to cook.

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.
Japanese preserved vegetables, usually pickled in a salt, brine or a bed of rice bran. They are often served to satisfy the balance with other dishes in sensory, authentic and nutritious consideration. Tsukemono are raw vegetables and think of them as a type of salad with the added benefits of lactic-acid fermentation.

Hi, my name is Rin, I love cooking and am crazy about delicious food. I gained experience working in a restaurant for six years, I spent two years in another restaurant, learning a lot during those eight years.
I studied abroad in the United States for 9 months and I sometimes invited friends over and shared my food. I enjoyed seeing friends happy with my cooking, which made me want to share my food with the world.
Last, but not least, I love to communicate with people, and I’d love to meet new friends.
The cooking place should be my home, Konandai on the JR Negishi line, less than 30 minutes from either Yokohama or Kamakura station by train. There is a hiking trail to Kamakura near here, if you love nature and outdoor activities, it's worth trying!!
These areas have a lot of attractive things, and you can stop by along the way of your visit or back. I can share with you my favorite places to go and recommendations.

★★★★★The cooking class was delightful! For how simple the recipes were, the flavors were far richer than expected and had that wonderful comforting taste of a home-cooked meal. All the ingredients and supplies were well-prepared by our instructor Rin who was so great and thoughtful. She even fulfilled our request to make a squash dish, which was not in the original lesson plan. She also spoke English very well, so I'd highly recommend the class for any foreign tourists looking to learn Japanese cuisine. A 5 out of 5 experience all around!
