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.
Udon (うどん) is a type of thick wheat flour noodle. It is similar to Italian pasta, but much thicker. It has been eaten all over Japan as an easy-to-eat popular meal, and a substitute meal for rice dishes. Udon is often served hot as a noodle soup in its simplest form, as "kake udon", in a mildly flavoured broth called kakejiru, which is made of dashi, soy sauce, and mirin. The flavor of broth and topping vary from region to region.
Japanese fried chicken, karaage is made by marinating bite-size pieces of chicken in sake, soy sauce, ginger and garlic before coating them generously with potato starch. When fried, the starch turns into an ultra crispy shell encasing a flavorful juicy bite of chicken. Absolutely great with beer.
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 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.
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 cooking class is a small, intimate experience designed for meaningful connection and real learning. I do not run large, fast-paced group tours. Instead, I welcome only one small group per day so everyone can relax, ask questions freely, and truly enjoy the cooking process.
The atmosphere is friendly, personal, and easy to follow. We cook step by step together, and I explain not only how to cook, but why we cook in certain ways. My goal is for you to understand Japanese home cooking, not just watch it.
Most importantly, I carefully choose ingredients that you can find in your own country. I want you to recreate the dishes after you return home and share Japanese flavors with your family and friends.
This is not just a class — it’s a cultural experience you can take back with you.
Fumie
Hello, I’m Fumie, a Japanese home cooking teacher based in Japan. Whenever I travel abroad, I always join local cooking classes to learn from home cooks and chefs. I truly believe that food connects people beyond language — cooking is a universal way to understand culture and share hearts.
I offer warm, small-group lessons designed for visitors who love Japan and want to recreate authentic Japanese home-style dishes. In my class, you will learn simple and delicious meals such as tonkatsu, oyakodon, udon, sushi rolls, and comforting seasonal dishes. We cook step by step in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, even for beginners.
You will receive easy-to-follow English recipes so you can recreate the experience at home and share Japanese flavors with your family and friends. I look forward to cooking together.
