Discover Japanese home cooking in Yoko's Osaka home. Learn to prepare traditional Japanese dishes, explore essential ingredients and cooking techniques, and enjoy your homemade meal together with a sake tasting. After you meet Yoko at the subway station, she will give you a small tour of her neighborhood. Yoko lives in a simple, clean apartment complex in the city near the Osaka Castle (a big tourist spot). Before you get started with the cooking class, Yoko will introduce you to Japanese cooking techniques and the five different tastes. She will also show you key ingredients you will use throughout the cooking process like seaweed, dried fish, etc. You will then get to put on your aprons and roll up your sleeves to cook with Yoko! The class will be both a cooking demonstration and a hands-on class, where Yoko will prep a few things before you get to participate in the cutting and cooking process. You will make 3 different dishes from scratch in your 1.5 hours cooking class. Yoko will explain everything thoroughly throughout the entire process. Feel free to ask her more about Japanese cooking styles and don't leave without learning about her secret cooking tips!
