• 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.

My name is Kaco. I love eating and cooking. My mother and grandmother are cooking teachers. I am a qualified nurse and cook. I use English to convey Japanese home cooking. It was one of my dreams to cook food together with people who came to Okayama for a trip, and have them feel familiar with Japanese home cooking. My specialty is lunch boxes. In this one lesson, I will teach you how to make a main dish, fried eggs(tamagoyaki), side dishes using vegetables, etc. Let's make cute rice balls too!

My house is near Okayama Castle, the most famous tourist destination in Okayama, and a beautiful park called Korakuen.

I have always admired the beautiful bento boxes that Japanese mothers make for their children, so I was really excited to join Ms. Kaco’s bento-making class. The class was wonderful! Ms. Kaco was warm, friendly, and professional. She explained everything clearly and made the techniques easy to understand, even for a beginner like me. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, making the whole experience enjoyable. One of the best parts was getting to enjoy the bento I made myself after the class or take it home to enjoy later. It was such a fun and rewarding experience! Overall, I highly recommend Ms. Kaco’s bento-making class to anyone who wants to learn how to make beautiful and delicious bento boxes. I had a great time and would love to join another class in the future! Thank you very much Ms Kaco.

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed the lesson. I’m also very, very happy that we were able to make the Japanese bento you’ve always wanted to try.
