• Tempura

  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

  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.

Hi, my name is Masumi.
My hobby is cooking. I am enjoying cooking for my family every day.
Time to time, I plan and serve for lunch or dinner party with my friends at home. I can cook 7 to 9 kinds of dishes, within 2 hours.
As I love cooking too much, I have started to work as a professional housekeeping and cooking staff.

I have lived in Germany and Singapore for almost 10 years as my husband was working there.
I had a lot of opportunity to learn different type of local food. They are now one of my favorite repertoire.
It was also great fun to teach how to cook Japanese dishes to the local friends.

My belief is that people will become friend much easier if cook and eat together.
Why don’t you cook with me and enjoy the dishes together?

You are always welcome!

Dear Masumi, Thank you so much for this wonderful experience. You're not only a great cook, but also a great teacher and a very warm person ! This was also a great exchange of cultural habits and specificities. In the meantime we could try out the bento box cooking a couple of times ourselves, and thanks to your tricks, it really isn't that difficult (although there is definitely still room for improvement (-: ) The fact that you speak so good English did help of course. Again, thank you so much. This experience was definitely a topper of our trip to Japan ! Warm regards, Gwen

Thank you very much for this fantastic Japanese cooking experience today ! It was not only great learning but also delicious. This had nothing to do with the shop or train bento’s ... The fact that you speak very well English was another great value. You have a very nice charming home and it was great discussing our cultural differences with you. Thanks again ! Warm regards, Gwen (Belgium)
