Miso Soup
You will make traditional miso soup by preparing dashi (soup stock) from kombu (kelp) and katsuobushi (bonito flakes), just like it's done in Japanese homes.
Japanese Side Dishes
A few side dishes will also be served — simple and authentic dishes that Japanese people enjoy in their daily meals.
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.

Naomi
Hello and nice to meet you.
I love cooking and enjoy welcoming people into my home. I used to work as a childcare worker, but over time I began dreaming of starting a cooking class. Four years ago, I finally began teaching cooking at home.
I have some friends from overseas, and when I teach them how to make Japanese dishes or invite them for lunch, they are always very happy. That made me want to start a cooking class especially for visitors from other countries.
In Kyoto, we have a unique kind of sushi called Temari Sushi. They are small, beautiful, bite-sized sushi that even geisha and maiko can eat easily. Would you like to try making Temari Sushi with me?
We’ll also make traditional miso soup using dried kelp (kombu) and bonito flakes (katsuobushi) to make the broth from scratch — the way it has been done in Japan for many years. I will also prepare a few Japanese-style side dishes that we usually eat at home.
I’m also studying English. I’m still learning, but I look forward to enjoying conversations in English with guests from around the world.
Near my home — just about 10 minutes by car — are some beautiful spiritual spots such as Kurama Temple, Ohara, and Kibune Shrine. Please come and enjoy cultural exchange and the charm of Kyoto.
