Kitchen Fun

Emi was friendly and picked me up from the local station. We talked about the many things there are to do in Tokyo as we made some traditional Japanese dishes. We listened to some bossa nova music and Emi helped me find locations of places to visit during my stay. Afterwards, she showed me the local supermarket where I bought some Japanese snacks. Unforgettable experience!

We made a side dish, learned how to cook proper japanese rice, miso soup, and we wished for gyoza as a main dish. It was sooo delicious and super easy to prepare, so you can definitely do it at home yourself. She is such a openminded person speaks real good english and answers all your questions. She even did a spontaneous supermarkt tour with us :) Money well spent!

The simple science and art of traditional Japanese cooking from a local

We enjoyed our dinner experience with Emi very much. We learned how to cook a traditional Japanese meal and learned many tips and tricks that we will use at home. We also learned about the intriguing concept of umami - the fifth flavour in Japanese cooking. The meal was delicious (oishii). Highly recommended!

She is such a lovely lady also speaks good English. Definitely recommend to people those want to learn more culture and food of Japan.
