  • Rice

    Rice

    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

    Miso Soup

    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.

  • Sake

    Sake

    Japanese popular alcoholic drink must be Sake, or called Nihonshu, made from fermented rice. The foundation of good sake is quality rice, clean water, koji mold and yeast. Premium sake differentiates itself in quality of ingredients and production process, so that flavors ranges light and crisp to richer, fruity notes.

  • Green Tea

    Green Tea

    The astringent constituent in Japanese tea is a type of polyphenol called catechin. Japan has done a great deal with the humble tea leaf. For example some benefits of the catechin in the tea leaf can lower cholesterol in some cases. Roasted over charcoal at a high temperature and grown under shade for at least 20 days are one of the examples. The most popular Japanese tea might be ryokucha. Depending on the timing of picking the leaves, the grade, the price can be noticeably different.

All cooking classes by Junko



Hello! My name is Junko. I'm a Japanese homemaker who finished Sofia University, worked for some high schools, love swimming, touring canoe, reading books and traveling.
My love for traditional Japanese cuisine runs deep, as I have been accustomed to preparing these dishes since early on. I am committed to preparing high-quality, additive-free dishes with a focus on health-conscious cooking.
Born and raised in Tokyo, I've also had the enriching experience of living in places like Singapore, Hong Kong, and the United States for about five years in total. Along the way, I've picked up some English and enjoy using it whenever I can.

I have a sociable and diplomatic personality, finding pleasure in engaging with people from diverse backgrounds. Sharing the richness of Japanese food culture is a passion of mine, and I look forward to connecting with you through this culinary journey!

※We have two bicycles, so you can cycle to local, calm and worth seeing places that are not touristy.
※I'm a qualified Japanese flower arrangement instructor and have my own high quality kimono, so if you want to try on it after cooking class, please contact me in advance.
