Join Masako in her kitchen and learn to cook authentic Japanese recipes from scratch. If you choose to learn to make Udon, you’ll be kneading the dough with your hands (and feet) and turning it into noodles. It is hard work but worth it to get heavenly homemade udon noodles, far superior to store-bought ones. Other meal options comprise okonomiyaki or tempura or Japanese sweets. Please let Masako know your preference when you create your booking. Dishes will be cooked using some fresh, seasonal ingredients from the farmers market in Niigata. After cooking, you will enjoy a sit-down meal that ends with a sweet dessert.

  • Amazing Class, Do Yourself a Favor and Take It

    Masako was an incredible teacher and did an amazing job creating a welcoming and warm environment. We came to take a cooking class and got so much more. She explained every step in great detail, was incredibly fun, and went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing experience. Don’t want to spoil too much, but be prepared to leave with stuffed bellies and full of smiles. Please do yourself a favor and spend a few hours of your time in Tokyo to take her amazing class. We went to celebrate my wife’s birthday here and it was the highlight of her day.

    We had a great time with Masako learning to make udon and tempura. She had great energy and made us feel very welcome. The instructions were easy to follow and the course was fairly basic so people should not worry if they are not experienced cooks. You will have good fun regardless of your ability.

    Masako is truly an inspiration! She taught me so much about cooking and much more! Seriously the number of things she has expertise in is astounding, and of course giving a great cooking class in English is one of them! I felt I was in great care the entire time and really enjoyed our conversations. With her instructions the food prep was fun and engaging and turned out delicious 😋 雅子さんは達人です!
