I usually do home cooking classes in Niigata Prefecture. Niigata is the most famous place in Japan for rice and sake. There is also a sea so you can eat fresh seafood. I was born and raised in Tokyo, studied nutrition at university, and taught at school. I came to Niigata when I got married. I have a chef's husband and a daughter. My hobbies are skiing, snorkeling and drinking. As I lived in Niigata, I was surprised that Niigata has a lot of seasonal ingredients and local dishes. I'm doing a cooking class because I want to tell many people how wonderful it is. English is reasonable, but I am studying with my daughter so that everyone can be happy and teach cooking in English. When you come to Niigata for skiing and sightseeing, please enjoy your meal together.
