Tokyo Washoku 4-hour Cooking Class: From Market to Table
Description
Join a tour by MagicalTrip, proud winner of the Tripadvisor Best of the Best Award. Each experience is led by a MagicalTrip Certified Guide, professionally trained and carefully selected to ensure quality and authenticity. Do you love Japanese food and want to learn how to cook it yourself? This hands-on experience is perfect for anyone interested in authentic, healthy Japanese home-style cuisine. The journey begins with a visit to a local supermarket, where you’ll learn how to choose fresh meats, fish, vegetables, and seasonings used in everyday Japanese cooking. Then, move to a professional kitchen studio for a guided class. You’ll practice knife skills, make dashi and sushi rice, and cook classic dishes such as miso soup, eggplant dengaku, dashimaki tamago, and sushi. After cooking, enjoy your meal and take home recipes to recreate it anytime. The studio is located near Asakusa and Kappabashi, ideal for sightseeing afterward.

It was so much fun I would do it again. I enjoyed it so much and the instructor was the best instructor I have ever had. I would do it a million times over. I can never get tired of such a great experience. This has made me fall in love with sushi and everything Japanese. I felt like I was a sushi chef I would totally make lots more sushi. The instructor was very nice and helpful. I hope one day I can come back to Japan.
Amazing experience! It was such an easy experience and we would recommend to anyone!

This was a great experience! We enjoyed shopping for the ingredients and learned a lot even with a base background in cooking Japanese food already. Our host was extremely accommodating to our needs, especially helpful since we brought our 2 year old along. She answered all of our questions, guided us through the techniques, and helped us make a delicious meal together!
