tip
In this class, you will experience cooking traditional Japanese home dishes such as Osechi (New Year’s meal), festival rice dishes, and bento preparation. We will also use traditional Japanese tableware, such as lacquerware, allowing you to appreciate the beauty of Japan’s food culture alongside cooking. The class is primarily demonstration-based. The menu changes monthly, depending on the season. If you would like the meal to be served in a bento style, please let me know in advance via message, as this may not always be the default presentation.

This was a really good experience, Maya was a wonderful host and we had a good time. Visiting a Japanese home in the beautiful countryside, easily accessible from Okayama station was really a treat for the whole family. The food was excellent and the explanations and demonstrations alongside easy to understand. We can sincerely recommend this course for anybody who wants a great Japanese cultural experience.
