Totally worth it

Jesse_W, Nov 2024

Eri was absolutely wonderful! I met with her at Asagaya Station, and we drove a short distance to her house where the lesson was. And I found out that I was doing a few things incorrectly when I'd attempt Okonomiyaki back home. Eri even taught me a second recipe as a bonus! Absolutely worth it and the food was awesome!

Thank you for comming. I hope you can enjoy Okonomiyaki home!

Had a great time! Would recommend :)

Eri picked me up from the station and dropped me back after as well since her house was a little further from it. She was very knowledgeable about cooking Japanese cuisine and the vegetarian diet. I am not a talented home cook by any means but Eri was patient and guided me in all the steps so I could make it again later. Additionally, she gave very useful pointers on accessible substitutions in my home country. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in learning more about Japanese cuisine. It was a great experience to have in Tokyo!

Cooking with Grandmother

Daniel_P, May 2024

I had wanted to take my grandmother to a cooking class while she was in Japan. It was wonderful. The teacher had us in her home and was very insightful and patient. Would recommend!☆

Response from Host, May 2024

Hi Daniel, thank you for comming and sharing time with me. I found you were so kind to your grandmother and two of you have a wonderful relationship. It made me feel so warm and even happy. I hope your grandma will be able to cook Okonomiyaki at home and her family will enjoy it! Feel free to ask me if any. Thank you again, and I hope your days in Japan will be nice as always! Maria, enjoy your rest of days in Japan with him and go back home safely. I enjoyed talking with you and I’ll definitely make tortilla in a way you taught me! Thank you, Eri
