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.

Hello! My name is Maya. I was born in Canada and raised in Osaka, Japan. I also had the chance to work at Disney World in Florida.
My grandmother owned a shabu-shabu restaurant, so I grew up surrounded by good food. That’s where my love for cooking and eating delicious meals comes from. I love traveling, trying authentic local food, and sharing those experiences with others. I’d love to bring a taste of Japanese home cooking to you.
I believe cooking together with locals is one of the best ways to experience a culture. I have experience as an Airbnb host, and now I’m excited to welcome travelers to my home for a fun and friendly Japanese cooking class. Sometimes my mother or my sister also helps with the class, so you may get to cook with more of my family!
After the class, guests will enjoy the meal on their own rather than dining together.
My place is easy to access, close to the Tanimachi Line, Sakaisuji Line, and the JR Tozai Line.
I’m looking forward to meeting you!
