The Japanese tea ceremony is a centuries-old tradition closely tied to Zen Buddhist principles, and a popular way to experience Japanese culture. There are several variations on this ritual. At its base, powdered green tea (matcha) is prepared and served in accordance with strict rules. Oftentimes, wagashi (Japanese sweets) is served alongside the bitter green tea.
We will meet our meeting place which I will give you the detail once you booked. The meeting place is 5 minutes from Kawagoe station, then we walk to my cooking studio for another 5 minutes.

I’m Nariko and I offer Japanese cooking classes out of Nariko’s Kitchen, a cooking studio located in Kawagoe. It takes only 30 minutes from center of Tokyo. Kawagoe is a town of history retaining the culture and aroma of Edo-era. It's one of the most popular places to visit in outside of Tokyo.
I was a child who always liked to help my mother in the kitchen. I gained more interest on cooking when I lived abroad and had a chance to do cooking sessions as part of my job. I’ve been teaching Japanese cooking in Malaysia as a cooking instructor and conducted classes for individuals and companies, and also gave cooking demonstration at cultural events.
Come join me and try a hands-on cooking class offered in a Japanese home. And enjoy the beautiful town before/after the class!

★★★★★I really enjoyed Nariko's class! Making the japanese sweets and matcha was a great experience. She answered every question I had and I was able to write each step down on my notebook and take photos, so that I will be able to make Nerikiri by myself when I'm back home. Also, her english is really good which makes conversation and following her instructions easy. I had a lot of fun with her! Thank you very much!
