It has been eaten all over Japan as an easy-to-eat popular meal, and a substitute meal for rice dishes. Udon is often served hot as a noodle soup in its simplest form, as "kake udon", in a mildly flavoured broth called kakejiru, which is made of dashi, soy sauce, and mirin. The flavor of broth and topping vary from region to region.

  • Karaage

    Karaage

    Japanese fried chicken, karaage is made by marinating bite-size pieces of chicken in sake, soy sauce, ginger and garlic before coating them generously with potato starch. When fried, the starch turns into an ultra crispy shell encasing a flavorful juicy bite of chicken. Absolutely great with beer.

Reviews of Cooking Class

Ryan, United States of America

★★★★★

The cooking experience was fantastic and felt very authentic, we got to experience how to cook real Japanese foods, like Tamagoyaki fried sweet egg, etc, in a real home setting, with real ingredients that you can easily come across, so it was great! The host was very friendly and knowledgeable, and we appreciated it!
