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.
Inarizushi is stuffed in seasoned Aburaage tofu pouch. Inarizushi is technically sushi, but it is not something you order at nice sushi restaurants. It is easily found at supermarket delis, but, as you know, home made is the best. Inarisushi is a very casual food and a perfect lunch for picnics because it’s best eaten right from your hands.
Okonomiyaki is a Japanese savory pancake, made with flour, eggs, shredded cabbage, meat and toppings as you like. This variability is reflected in the dish's name: "okonomi" literally means "to one's liking". You can eat it everywhere in Japan, but especially Okonomiyaki made Hiroshima style and Osaka style are the most famous.
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).
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.
Hello! My name is Atsushi. I've trained, worked, and managed Japanese restaurants for nearly 30 years. I have a wide range of experience and involvement, from home cooking to high-end Japanese cuisine. I registered on this website not only to introduce Japanese cuisine to foreigners, but also to improve my own English skills and promote cultural exchange. My English is limited, but I sometimes have a female interpreter with me when I visit. When an interpreter is not available, we will communicate via a translation app. The event will be held in my kitchen, a five-minute walk from Hankyu Shimoshinjo Station. While my kitchen isn't particularly large, I'll provide thorough instruction from scratch, so please rest assured. After cooking, we'll enjoy a fun cultural exchange while enjoying the dishes we've made. My hobby is fishing, so sometimes I make sushi with the fish I've caught (lol). I'm flexible in accommodating guest requests. For example, if there's a dish you'd like me to teach you, please send me a message. I keep a budgie in a room separate from the kitchen. Please note that if you're afraid of small animals or have allergies, please refrain from attending. I look forward to meeting and interacting with people from all over the world.
