• Nikujaga

  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).

• Miso Soup

  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.

About Host

Hello. I’m Akiko.

I’ve been learning cooking so that I can cook Osechi Ryori, New Year’s traditional Japanese food. And the way of thinking “ You are what you eat” brought us three amazing girls. Now I’m helping people become the person who want to be through food and the way of thinking. That’s the way I’m supporting designing lifestyle through foods now.

My best cherished memory when I went abroad is being invited their home and having home made meal with local people.

So I’d like to share my home made meal with the people who’d like to enjoy Japanese food and culture.

I’ d like to talk with people from various countries and enjoy Language Exchange too. My home is located 10mins walk from the station in Keisei line which can access to Narita and Haneda.

Lunch time, around 10:00-14:00 would be fine for me, if you’d like to come in the evening time, please let me know.

I’ d be appreciate if you book until 3days before for my preparation.


I'm looking forward to seeing you.
