Welcome to “Kyoto Family Kitchen,” a fun, hands-on cooking experience set in the fresh air of our suburban home, outside the city center. What to Expect: • Explore the core staples of Japanese cooking—dashi, soy sauce, mirin, and sake—used in every family kitchen. • Hands-On Cooking: Experience how easy it is to prepare the delicious dishes Japanese families cook on an average night. Our informal, family-friendly setting ensures everyone, including kids, can participate and enjoy. • Relaxing Mealtime: After cooking, we gather around the table for a meal, sharing culture, ideas, and lively conversation. • Family-Friendly Atmosphere: Designed for all ages, our class is inclusive and perfect for families. Our kids (Clara 12yo, Anna 12yo, Leo 8yo) love to join in! • Local Connection: Immerse yourself in Kyoto’s culture, experiencing life in a typical family home, away from the city. • Interactive Experience: More than just cooking, it’s like visiting family for dinner—come relax, learn, and enjoy. After booking, we finalize meeting times, prepare your menu, and figure out directions. We also welcome large groups and love hosting family gatherings! *minimum 2 guests please
