  • Onigiri

    Onigiri

    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.

  • Nikujaga

    Nikujaga

    Nikujaga literally means “meat and potatoes”, from two of the main ingredients niku (meat) and jagaimo (potatoes). It’s a comfort food for the Japanese and it is a very popular meal cooked at home. It is often considered “mother’s cooking” (“ofukuro no aji” おふくろの味 in Japanese) as each household cooks it just slightly different. The food itself is very simple and homely, and the warm bowl of your mother’s nikujaga brings one back to their roots. It is probably the most popular dish among all kinds of nimono (煮物 Japanese stewed dishes).

I’ve decided to hold a class where tourists visiting Japan can learn about authentic Japanese home-cooked meals.

Join me in my home as we cook the everyday meals I prepare for my family. The class will be small and personal, allowing you to fully experience Japanese home cooking. You'll learn how to make dashi stock and get detailed explanations of the ingredients and seasonings used.
We will also provide step-by-step recipes for each dish, with tips on how to recreate them when you return to your own country.

Japanese cuisine is more than just ramen and sushi—there are many delicious home-cooked dishes waiting to be discovered. Come and enjoy the experience of cooking and savoring traditional Japanese meals together!

Reviews of Cooking Class

It was a wonderful experience. We learned a good set of recipes, that can be done at home. Rie is a really nice person and a awesome cook. The session had the perfect mixture of learning by watching and learning by doing. We not only learned how to prepare Japanese food but also how to set the table and arrange the dishes in a decorative Japanese style. It was a complete cultural experience, just as we had hoped. We particularly enjoyed that, at the end, everyone sat together at the table, allowing for relaxed conversations. Communication throughout the course went especially smoothly because Anna translated very well into English. The course is highly recommended for everyone, as Japanese cuisine is much more than just sushi and ramen. We look forward to returning and learning something new on our next visit. Thank you, Rie, and see you next time. :-)
