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.
· SUKIYAKI is one of the most popular traditional Japanese food. Use thin-sliced Japanese selected beef and vegetables, etc, put in a shallow pot and pan-fry it with soy sauce-based SUKIYAKI sauce. We usually dip those beef, vegetables, and others into raw beaten eggs. You can eat this with or without raw eggs; either way it’s still delicious!
· You can choose either a Japanese style room (low table, sitting on TATAMI) or a dining room for meals.
Hello. My name is Kachiko. We have three daughters and one son. Three daughters are married and live here in Japan, while our son is studying at a University in the US. I can speak English, but only a little. My husband speaks English and a little bit of Spanish and Chinese. One of daughters and our son are both fluent in English. Our children visit our home frequently, so they support our cooking activities from time to time. I love cooking very much. It’s one of my favorite hobbies. We believe that we may be able to communicate with people around world and to exchange cultures from various countries with each other through this program.

★★★★★Learning to make sukiyaki with Kachiko-san and her family was a wonderful experience. Although the food was delicious, I enjoyed our conversations more. They gave me wonderful recommendations for sight-seeing and taught me about Japanese culture. I highly recommend this lesson for anyone in the region. Be sure to stop by Kawagoe ("Little Edo") on your way home, as well.
