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.
In this cooking class you can experience the traditional Japanese New Year's food and soup as plant-based, gluten-free and sugar-free.
Japanese New Year's food has wishes for the New Year and you can learn not only how to make New Year food but also the meaning of each dish.

Let's enjoy cooking together and make wishes for the New Year.
I am a cooking expert and certified cooking instructor in a Japanese cooking school in English. I conducted cooking workshops at 9 countries in Oceania, Asia and Europe. I especially focus on teaching and cooking for people who have food restrictions so that everyone can enjoy food at the same table. One time, I had many restrictions in my diet such as wheat, milk, eggs, soy beans, and also experienced attending to foreign employees with allergy and religious background when I used to work for a foreign company in Japan. In the midst of all this, I could not forget the warm hospitality and cooking classes I had during my trips, and decided that I would like to return this gratitude to the foreigners visiting and living in Japan . Since then, while studying medicinal cooking, shojin ryori, macrobiotic, vegan, and vegetarian cooking, I have been cooking and supervising menus at organic cafes and food stores, selling gluten-free and vegan medicinal lunch and dinner boxes, and researching healthy cooking that can be enjoyed by everyone in various backgrounds.
I live in Oyamadai which is a peaceful and cozy area just 20 minutes from Shibuya by train. We Todoroki canyon and Kuhonbutu temples are walking distance and also you can enjoy shopping in Jiyugaoka.
I am happy to arrange food you would like to eat depending on your request and looking forward to sharing our food culture with you.

★★★★★We had such an awesome experience with Yuka! It was a Gluten Free, Vegetarian, Osechi-Ryōri adventure. I was only able to find a few things shopping that would work, and there were some things I wasn’t very confident about making myself, so we (my partner and I) decided to take an AirKitchen class to make some. Yuka made the holiday such a pleasure; She was very knowledgeable and sensitive to allergies and health concerns, I felt confident in her care. Her English is excellent. She’s an experienced teacher and chef. Together we made some healthy end-of-year/new-year traditional Japanese fare, not only was it yummy also a great time was had by all. I highly recommend her class, and I’m looking forward to working with her to learn more.
