Hands-on cooking classes will be held at our Japanese cuisine restaurant "TOKITARAZU" in Hiroo, which is an upscale residential area in Tokyo.
You can learn from the basics of cooking to professional Kaiseki cuisine (traditional Japanese cuisine). Also, you will enjoy Sake paired with dishes.
Our instructor, who has a mastery of Kaiseki cuisine, will guide you step by step how to make the dishes and how to decorate the plates, so even beginners can have fun!
Japanese popular alcoholic drink must be Sake, or called Nihonshu, made from fermented rice. The foundation of good sake is quality rice, clean water, koji mold and yeast. Premium sake differentiates itself in quality of ingredients and production process, so that flavors ranges light and crisp to richer, fruity notes.
Specifically what you will learn is how to make Dashi (soup stock), how to make Sumeshi (sushi rice), how to use cooking utensils and how to prepare ingredients.
In this class, the instructor starts from how to make Dashi (soup stock) with seaweeds and bonito flakes. With this beautiful soup stock, I, Yuko will show you sometimes how to make miso soup explaining the differences between various kinds of Miso, while you can enjoy Miso tasting. The menus are subject to change due to season and ingredients' availability. For example, I often make a "Chikuzen-ni" (traditional dish) together and make "Chikashi-Ushi"( kind of sushi). After that filled in the traditional bento box"soy-kado bento". We can make some dishes together and show you manner of chopsticks and more...
I hope you will have fun with me.
Hello, I'm Yuko.
As I traveled around the world, working for a Japanese airline, my desire grew more and more to teach authentic Japanese cuisine to tourists in Japan.
So I retired from the airline and joined my mother, who also worked for the same company, and who had been teaching kaiseki (multi-course) cuisine for 30 years.
Through several years of hard work and dedication, I received my license to teach kaiseki cuisine, and I started Toki Lab cooking class.
I will guide you from the basics of cooking to professional kaiseki cuisine, so that you can experience traditional Japanese food culture.
