Yes! This experience is family-friendly and children aged 3 and up are welcome. It’s a fun way for families to learn about everyday Japanese food and culture together, and everyone gets to participate in preparing the meal.
Yes! We can accommodate most dietary restrictions, including vegetarian and vegan diets, as well as many food allergies. Please let us know about any dietary requirements when booking so we can prepare the appropriate ingredients and menu in advance.
The menu focuses on typical Japanese home cooking using ingredients that are commonly available in Japan and around the world. You’ll learn how to prepare a full Japanese-style meal and enjoy what you’ve made together afterward. Custom cooking classes are also available if there’s a particular dish or type of Japanese food you’d like to learn.
The meeting point is at Iwakura Station, which is easily accessible by train from Nagoya. Your host will pick you up at the station and take you to the cooking class, and you’ll also be dropped back at the station afterward. This makes getting to the experience simple, even if you’re not familiar with the area.
After enjoying your homemade Japanese lunch, you can add a casual Japanese tea ceremony to your experience for an additional fee. You’ll learn about Japanese tea culture and have the chance to enjoy matcha in a relaxed, traditional setting. The tea ceremony is optional and can be added when booking.
I love Japan and all facets of Japanese culture such as gardens and traditional architecture. I would like to introduce you to many aspects of Japan, but I have decided to start with Japanese food.
I’m an aficionado of cooking, tea, herbs, Chinese herbal medicine dishes, dietary education, vegan dishes, cereals dishes, and sweets with licenses in all of those subjects.
