Salmon Bento
- Grilled salmon
Ever-popular menu of bento!
- Tamagoyaki
Japanese omelet. You will use special pan. It’s fun to make!
- Karaage
Marinated with special source and fry.
It’s nice and crispy!
- Hourensou no ohitashi
Boiled spinach in special sauce
- I will serve you home made desert and tea or coffee!
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.
You will cook many Japanese typical dishes. I will prepare Dashi (kombucha and bonito soup). Dashi plays an important roll in Japanese cooking. You can enjoy traditional Japanese cooking.
You will prepare each dish from scratch. Cut vegetables, mix seasoning, fry, grill, and so on.

After the bento cooking and eating part, she had prepared a lovely cake and shared recommendations with us for tea shops and her favorite sweets, which we will definitely try. Thank you again we enjoyed every minute of it!

★★★★★We had a wonderful time during Makiko's bento box workshop. The bento box concept was perfect for us as it covers several different dishes (omelette, salmon, fried chicken, rice and spinach) which are useful to master. Makiko has a lot of experience, speaks perfect English and is a wonderful host! She went above and beyond by giving us tips on how to spend our time in Kyoto, and it helped us make the most of our stay in this city. To top it off, her dog Roy is super sweet and a fun companion during the workshop. Highly recommended.
