When you book this class, you can select one of four different menu options. (Note: Only if you or your group is only attendee(s) on the day. When another group also attend the same class, you may not be able to choose the menu.).
All of the menus are very popular and well-known dishes from Japan. This activity will take about 2 hours and 30 minutes to cook everything and then enjoy the meal we made together.
At last, if you have food allergies, let us know in advance. We can discuss our menu and what options will be available to you
Sample Menus
-A: Okonomiyaki and yakisoba set with side dishes: Okonomiyaki is a savory concoction made of batter, chopped cabbage, and other ingredients sizzled in a teppan grill and served with sauces and toppings. Yakisoba, on the other hand, is a stir-fried dish with ramen noodles, typically paired with seafood or pork and vegetables and a bulky sweet and savory sauce. A side dish will be added to complete the set.
-B: Gyoza and Takoyaki set with side dishes: Japanese gyoza are crispy pan-fried dumplings. We also make takoyaki, a famous Osaka dish and a popular food at summer festivals. Yum!
-C: Rolled sushi, Teriyaki set with side dishes: Gone are the days of store-bought sushi! Roll and chop your own sushi pieces, and pair them with either yellowtail fish or chicken teriyaki and also miso soup.
-D:Traditional gozen set: This assortment of flavors and ingredients has a little of everything: a meat plate, a fish plate, a side dish, miso soup, and an onigiri rice ball. It’s perfect for those who want to learn how to make a rounded home-cooked meal the Japanese way. Yum!
-E: Upon your request (Let me know if you have any menu request other than the above choices. We can discuss and decide together.)
Ramen is a noodle soup dish and perhaps one of the most popular Japanese dishes. There are many flavours of ramen, such as Shoyu (soy sauce) ramen, Miso ramen, Tonkotsu (pork bone) ramen and so on. Common toppings are Chashu (braised pork), Negi (green onion) and Nori (dried seaweed).
Gyoza is a dumpling using wrapping thing dough to hold the inner ingredients. Most commonly, minced pork, cabbage, Garlic and Leek. The origin of Gyoza is from China but it has evolved uniquely in Japan and now quite different from the Chinese one.
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.
Okonomiyaki is a Japanese savory pancake, made with flour, eggs, shredded cabbage, meat and toppings as you like. This variability is reflected in the dish's name: "okonomi" literally means "to one's liking". You can eat it everywhere in Japan, but especially Okonomiyaki made Hiroshima style and Osaka style are the most famous.
Onigiri is a Japanese comfort food made from steamed rice formed into the typical triangular, ball, or cylinder shapes and usually wrapped with nori(dried seaweed). Stuffed with a a variety of fillings and flavors, these rice balls make an ideal quick snack and are a fun alternative to sandwitches for lunch.
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.
