Tempura (天ぷら) is a classical Portuguese dish brought to and popularized by Japan, consisting of seafood or vegetables that have been battered and deep fried. Tempura is a typical home-style cooking in Japan. It is often referred to as a representative dish to Japan. Although there are various theories, it is said that Tokugawa Ieyasu, the general of the Edo period, liked tempura so much that he allegedly died from eating too much.

Hi! I’m Eri, a culinary teacher from calmo cooking salon in Tokyo. I’ve taught cooking for 18 years and to more than 1000 people!
What kind of food do you like to cook and eat? I believe that a good time can be created when the person who makes meals enjoys cooking itself.
Though I teach a variety of dishes useful for from everyday meals to parties like potluck, I always try to make them easy and simple for one person to cook at home.
Feel free to ask any questions or what you want to know about cooking and Japan.
Classes will be held in both English and Japanese, so please come and join me also for cultural exchange.
I have been teaching cooking for 18 years, have two daughters, and love playing tennis!

★★★★★Eri is a lovely person and a wonderful instructor. She clearly explained every step and guided us through the entire process of cutting, rolling and slicing sushi. I finally feel confident that I’ll be able to manage making a decent sushi at home. Making tempura was quite the revelation. I was always very apprehensive when it came to deep frying anything because of the hot oil. But Eri was so calm and again explained how to prepare all the items and how to let them glide into the oil. I did it myself and it just worked. We didn’t just learn a lot we also had a great time and talked about everything from food to culture and language. It was a wonderful experience and I can only recommend her classes.
