Onigiri: Prepare ingredients such as salmon, cod roe, tuna, umeboshi, and bonito flakes.
Tempura: prawn, seasonal vegetables
Miso soup: tofu, seaweed, fried tofu
We will make the above 3 dishes together.
I will prepare 3 other side dishes.
Tempura (天ぷら) is a classical Portuguese dish brought to and popularized by Japan, consisting of seafood or vegetables that have been battered and deep fried. Tempura is a typical home-style cooking in Japan. It is often referred to as a representative dish to Japan. Although there are various theories, it is said that Tokugawa Ieyasu, the general of the Edo period, liked tempura so much that he allegedly died from eating too much.
Onigiri is a Japanese comfort food made from steamed rice formed into the typical triangular, ball, or cylinder shapes and usually wrapped with nori(dried seaweed). Stuffed with a a variety of fillings and flavors, these rice balls make an ideal quick snack and are a fun alternative to sandwitches for lunch.
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.
In this class, we will make rice balls using your favorite ingredients.
We’ll also make tempura and miso soup.
Here are some other home-cooked dishes from Japan.
I will teach you to make it easily when you return to your country.
Let's have fun making it and eating it happily while chatting:)

★★★★★Our cooking class with Hitomi was fantastic. Her husband Ted picked us up at the station, at their family house we were greeted warmly with tea and sweets. Hitomi was very well prepared and guided us through the steps of preparation clearly and in great English. We learned a lot and were also able to ask more questions about Japanese cuisine and ingredients. We made miso soup, varies tempura and onigiri, and spontaneously even some tamagoyaki! We ended up with so much food that we couldn't eat it all for dinner, so Hitomi and her daughter lovingly packed it for us to take on our journey. We highly recommend a cooking class with Hitomi, as for a few hours you become part of a Japanese family and get to experience traditional Japanese home cooking :)

★★★★★Our cooking experience with Hitomi and her family was wonderful! They made us feel welcomed and extra special. We learnt a lot from watching Hitomi in the kitchen and she is an excellent teacher. We were truly spoilt with lots of delicious traditional japanenese food. Make sure you come with an empty belly! Overall a fantastically memorable experience.
