Japanese fried chicken, karaage is made by marinating bite-size pieces of chicken in sake, soy sauce, ginger and garlic before coating them generously with potato starch. When fried, the starch turns into an ultra crispy shell encasing a flavorful juicy bite of chicken. Absolutely great with beer.
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.
The astringent constituent in Japanese tea is a type of polyphenol called catechin. Japan has done a great deal with the humble tea leaf. For example some benefits of the catechin in the tea leaf can lower cholesterol in some cases. Roasted over charcoal at a high temperature and grown under shade for at least 20 days are one of the examples. The most popular Japanese tea might be ryokucha. Depending on the timing of picking the leaves, the grade, the price can be noticeably different.
In this class, you actually make Karaage teishoku. Teishoku means a set of meal, including rice, miso soup, and some side dishes. You will also cook rice by using a normal pot, not by rice cooker. This class takes place in my kitchen and dining room so you can relax and enjoy cooking with homelike atmosphere. Get a lot of tips so that you can recreate after getting back home. Enjoy the most delicious Karaage ever!

★★★★★Our cooking experience with Sayaka was amazing! Truly it couldn't have been better. We learned so many different recipes and cooking techniques. Plus, she was a blast to talk to. Her English is incredible! 10/10 would do it again and can't wait to remake these dishes on our own!

★★★★★I came back after taking Sayaka’s tonkatsu, omu-rice and warabi mochi class last year. I was able to follow her recipes and made these dishes back home and everyone liked them! As I had an unforgettable experience last time so I decided to attend her class again. Sayaka is knowledgable. Her instructions are clear and recipes are easy to follow. It was nice to see Sayaka again. I enjoyed cooking in her nice kitchen. I felt relaxed eating at her nice dining table, chatting and and sharing our own cooking experience.

★★★★★Sayaka's home is beautiful. Today's menu was fried chicken, I wholeheartedly recommend this class. Everything we made was delicious. She even asked me how I liked my tofu and later showed me what ingredients to buy at the supermarket so I could make miso soup at home. I LOVE MISO SOUP :) Also, she speaks really great English. We had a lot of fun talking about travel and culture, as well! It was all-around fantastic.
