What To Expect
Aichi Prefecture is best known for housing the headquarters of Toyota or for the more recently-opened Ghibli Park, it also has a lesser-known unique local gourmet scene. After a brief introduction and a walk through the recipes, you’ll have a chance to sample some of Aichi Prefecture’s popular seasonings and Japanese soup stock (dashi) made using traditional methods. Then, you’ll roll up your sleeves and learn how to make a washoku meal consisting of five popular dishes: miso soup, rolled Japanese-style omelet (dashimaki tamago), a main dish of either chicken, karaage or fish, rice, and Japanese sweets (wagashi). Each dish will feature consciously selected high-quality ingredients reflecting the region’s best offerings. Sip on matcha, feast on the fruits of your labor with your classmates, and don't forget to take photos at the end to remember the experience.

5.00This was a fantastic experience. We learned about the different types of misos and soy sauces while we made our meal that included a Japanese rolled omelet, tuna onigiri, fried chicken, salad and sakuramochi for dessert. The lesson was organized and informative. Enjoyed every minute including dinner when completed.

5.00I had a great experience with Yuka sensei at Chie's Kitchen. I am well versed in eating Japanese food but making it took my understanding to a new level. The facility is easy to get to, spacious and well equipped. Yuka's passion for teaching made the experience unforgettable. Walking me through the different types of soy, as well as miso, and their impact on the recipes was very helpful. The highlight of the experience is eating what I made during the class =) I highly recommend this session. I am already using the knowledge I gained during the class in my own cooking. My Japanese friends were surprised by my new Sakura Mochi making skills. I look forward to learning more from Yuka sensei during future trips.
A wonderful private class!

5.00It was a private meeting for me and my two friends with Yuko, who welcomed us warmly. She explained how to prepare different typical dishes, and we took photos of everything. At the end, we had lunch together. During the experience, we talked about food and Japanese culture. It was very interesting. I definitely recommend it!
