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.
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.
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.

Hello! I'm satoru. I was born in Hokkaido and grew up with great nature and large vegetable field. I've cooked since I was 3 years old. As a child, I always harvested fresh vegetables from the garden and cooked with my mother and grandmother who are wonderful cooks. After graduating high school, I went to San Francisco to study photography and Art! After coming back from the US, I decided to conduct a cooking class for international tourists @my little apartment. By 2018, people from 80 different countries have visited my class!!!

★★★★★We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with chef Saturo. Communication before our class was good and Saturo speaks very good English. We prepared 4 dishes and enjoyed the at the end. 2.5hrs class was about right. Really enjoyed the discussion of Japanese food and Saturo’s approach to cooking. Ed S (USA) Juergen B (Germany)

★★★★★My cooking experience with Satoru could not have been better. He was the only patron that was available during the short time that I was in Japan. Satoru taught us many nuances of each ingredient used on the entree of the season: Rice curry. He is wonderful at welcoming strangers around the world and immediately makes accommodations to our request. Thanks AirKitchen!

★★★★★The other persons who booked on the same slot that I did had to cancel, so I ended up having a Saturday night dinner date with Satoru-san :D He made sure that I was welcome and was such a gracious and awesome host. We prepared a simple yet filling meal of chirashi sushi and miso soup, and the evening was peppered with random musings on food and family. I told him this and I'll say it again here - it was the best meal I had so far on the week that I was in Tokyo. Nothing really beats a home-cooked meal, especially if you helped make it! Sitting down to a nice dinner and having Satoru-san across the table to talk to - I couldn't ask for anything better. I highly recommend this class.
