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.
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.
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.

I have a huge love for meeting new people and everything about food. When I lived in Hong Kong for 3 years in 2014, I've met a lot of people from various countries. I held home parties many times, and cooked Japanese meals together with them. At that time, I was pretty happy since they obviously enjoyed experiencing authentic Japanese meals and culture. This is my background to make up my mind to start the cooking class from 2017 in Tokyo. Then I restarted Japanese cooking class in London from 2018 for 6 years as Airbnb host. Had over 200 lovely guests there! Finally I came back to Japan, so It’s time to do it at new my home in Japan.
The meals I cook in daily life in Japan are quite simple and easy to handle, what's more, healthy and delicious!
