Kara-age(Japanese fried chiken) and Onigiri Bento Box
• Karaage(Japanese fried chickens)
• Onigiri (Japanese rice balls)
• Japanese rolled omelette
• Japanese side dishes
• Strawberry Daifuku (Sweet mochi)
Onigiri is a Japanese comfort food made from steamed rice formed into the typical triangular, ball, or cylinder shapes and usually wrapped with nori(dried seaweed). Stuffed with a a variety of fillings and flavors, these rice balls make an ideal quick snack and are a fun alternative to sandwitches for lunch.
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.
I will introduce the most popular Bento Box in my family.
In addition to juicy fried chicken , make Onigiri, Japanese typical side dishes and popular sweets together.

Hello, welcome to Japan!!
My name is Junko Hayashi.
I'm a foodie person who loves to chitchat and entertain people .
I'm living in Tokyo with my great family(husband and a son).
I have been working at a hotel as a concierge in Tokyo.
Through my career, I notice that many travelers are interested in Japanese homemade food and love to meet Japanese people.
So, I decided to open a cooking class to invite those tourists to experience Japanese culture at home.
In the cooking experience, I can also guide you about Tokyo's hideout restaurants and the latest sightseeing spots, so please leave your help on traveling.
I am looking forward to seeing you.
