Udon (うどん) is a type of thick wheat flour noodle. It is similar to Italian pasta, but much thicker. It has been eaten all over Japan as an easy-to-eat popular meal, and a substitute meal for rice dishes. Udon is often served hot as a noodle soup in its simplest form, as "kake udon", in a mildly flavoured broth called kakejiru, which is made of dashi, soy sauce, and mirin. The flavor of broth and topping vary from region to region.
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.
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.
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.
Udon is one kind of the Japanese noodles. We can teach you how to make udon noodles and dipping sauce from scratch.
First, we make dashi (soup stock) for dipping sauce. Next we make udon dough and cut it into udon noodles. Then cook chicken, onion and egg in special sauce for Oyako-don topping.
Also we make one side dish to go with Udon and Oyako-don.
Then time to eat!!
Hi, my name is Toshie.
I love traveling and cooking.
When I went to Thailand, I experienced cooking local foods there. It was a really wonderful experience for me, and l began to think of teaching Japanese dishes in Tokyo.
I had learned making sushi from a professional sushi chef and now l enjoy teaching foreigners how to make sushi. Please come and join us! You’ll also have a chance to know Japanese sake. If you like, please tell me so in advance.
I hope you can enjoy Japanese foods and culture through cooking during your stay in Japan!!

★★★★★Toshi is a fabulous instructor. She had everything well-planned and ready for us. It was just my friend and I taking the class so we had a lot of personal attention and time to her her story of deciding to become a cooking instructor. The food was also scrumptious!
