  Takoyaki is very cute, small battered balls containing octopus. When you visit Osaka, you can see Takoyaki shops and people wandering the streets while eating it.

  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.

  Miso soup is a traditional Japanese soup. It's base is "dashi" (Japanese fish stock) and Miso paste. Common added ingredients are Tofu, Green onion and deep‐fried tofu but differs by personal preference. The type of miso is different from region. In western and Easter Japan white miso is mostly used.

About Host

Hello, Everyone! My name is Mana.
I am nutritionist and now I work at a Kyoto cuisine restaurant（traditional Japanese restaurant at Kyoto） as a planner.

I was born in Kobe, and I’ve lived in Shizuoka, Tokyo, Kyoto.
Now I live in Osaka with my husband.
Our house is nearby Shin-Osaka station(It takes about only 15 minutes by walk).
I’ve been to over 20 countries, I’m interested in tasting the local atmosphere and food.
That‘s way, I love travel and cooking!!
I would like to learn about the different cultures from many other countries.

My husband is Indonesian. He is vegetarian so I’m used to cooking vegetarian dishes :)

I can speak French, a little English. (When I was a student, I’ve live in France for 1 year)
My husband can speak naturally English and Chinese, Indonesian of course.

I'm looking forward to meet you my cooking class!

Thank you,
