    Step inside the kitchen for your private lesson and, alongside your host, learn how to make 2-3 dishes, each with a creative spin on traditional Japanese cuisine.

    Menu items may include a fresh take on chirashi sushi or a signature teriyaki chicken. Afterward, sit down for your meal at the dining table and end your 3-hour experience with an informal Japanese tea ceremony. Your host will help you with directions to get back to your hotel.

    If you like cooking, and enjoy Japanese...

    David B, Mar 2017
    If you like cooking, and enjoy Japanese food this is an excellent opportunity to learn simple home-style Japanese cooking, with ingredients that are available in most large U.S. cities. The food was delicious and our host was friendly and engaging. The interpreter did a nice job too. Having the session in an average Tokyo outer suburban home makes it even more interesting as few westerners will have that experience.
