・Japanese noodles " Udon"
It's served in the soup made from Japanese soup broth "Dashi"
・Strawberry Daifuku
It's a rice cake stuffed with red bean paste and a whole strawberry.
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.
I will introducing one of the traditional noodles in Japan.
Making Udon noodles from scratch is a fun and unique experience that
requires simple ingredients.
The Udon dough is too hard to knead by hands normally.
By stepping on the dough, a nice and chewy texture can be produced.
Udon soup is made from Japanese typical ingredients, bonito flakes and dried kombu, chicken and some vegetables.
I'll teach you how to make Japanese soup broth "Dashi" from the basic.
It's aromatic and rich taste.
As strawberry Daifuku, it is a popular and simple Japanese sweet.
Making it is very enjoyable. And it's yummy!!
Since this class is taught privately, I will be able to provide detailed information about dishes.
Vegetalian option is also available.
Hello, welcome to Japan!!
My name is Junko Hayashi.
I'm a foodie person who loves to chitchat and entertain people .
I'm living in Tokyo with my great family(husband and a son).
I have been working at a hotel as a concierge in Tokyo.
Through my career, I notice that many travelers are interested in Japanese homemade food and love to meet Japanese people.
So, I decided to open a cooking class to invite those tourists to experience Japanese culture at home.
In the cooking experience, I can also guide you about Tokyo's hideout restaurants and the latest sightseeing spots, so please leave your help on traveling.
I am looking forward to seeing you.

★★★★★Cooking udons and strawberry daifuku with Junko was a wonderful experience. This was our second class with Junko and, again, we enjoyed every bit of it. Junko followed us carefully during all steps of making udons, the accompanying soup and the daifuku. Everything came out delicious, and the flavours brought us back the memories our our family trip to Japan. I really appreciate that Junko's recipes are not only delicious, but are also well thought and streamlined both for ingredients and execution. At the end of the class, you really want to adopt the recipes in the rotation of family meals. I highly recommend the class!

Hi Cristian,
Thank you for the great review.
I really appreciate it.
It was my pleasure to cook with you and your daughter again.
Especially I was impressed you to prepare homemade sweet red bean paste by yourself this time.
Strawberry Daifuku made with your Anko must be delicious!!
Let me guide your family around Tokyo when you visit Japan.
See you next time.

★★★★★Junko is a delight! We booked her Udon Noodle Soup and Strawberry Daifuku class to celebrate a milestone birthday and were blown away. Prior to the actual class, Junko reached out to communicate and extend herself to answer any questions about ingredients or substitutions. Junko was attentive and communicative the entire time. During the class, she was warm, and engaging and truly made every effort to get to know us and make us comfortable from thousands of miles away. Junko even went out of her way to light candles and decorate her desert plate with a “Happy Birthday” banner and song. Her patience, friendliness and expertise were beyond outstanding. Would recommend her to any and everyone and are already looking for other class offerings. Thank you Junko! -Tanya and Ayasha

Hi Tanya and Ayasha,
Thank you very much for your wonderful review.
I was also happy to celebrate Ayasha's birthday together and introduce a lot of Japanese foods that you've never seen.
Since you have Japanese foods left over, hope to share my another recipe using those foods if there is a chance.
Please request me if there are Japanese dishes you want to make.
Thanks again.

★★★★★An AMAZING time with Junko san making udon and ichigo daifuku for my friend’s birthday!! It was an LA-Tokyo-Tokyo zoom party, and she’s SO fun, we really felt like we made a new friend. I appreciated that she sent an ingredients list in advance, as I was able to easily purchase the unusual ones over Amazon for my friend. And Junko san went above and beyond to help me plan how to surprise my friend with a birthday song, complete with candles. I’ll definitely sign up for another lesson, hopefully next time with my sister. 腕もノリも良い先生でとっても楽しいレッスンです。200%おすすめです。 じゅんこさん、またお願いします！！
