Overview

Tokyo has countless restaurants, but this small-group evening cooking class offers a more immersive way to dine. Instead of a single dish, learn to prepare a multi-course meal of classic “izakaya” (Japanese tavern) fare, such as sushi rolls, chicken balls with shiso leaves, and eggplant with miso sauce. Best of all, you get to enjoy every dish you make.

Learn authentic recipes that locals eat in “izakayas”
Hassle-free cooking class with all ingredients provided
No hunger pangs: Feast on your delicious creations
Enjoy the perk of having three drinks included—such as sake
