About this tour
A 3-hour hands-on cooking class where you'll prepare six authentic Japanese home dishes: three types of onigiri, miso soup, tonkatsu, salmon teriyaki, dashimaki tamago, and a seasonal vegetable side. Taught in a small-group setting at Yuzu Washoku Studio, you'll learn core techniques like dashi broth and rice cooking, using ingredients readily available outside Japan so you can recreate these meals at home. Vegetarian, pescatarian, and gluten-free options are available.
Highlights
- Cook six complete Japanese dishes from scratch in one session
- Learn dashi broth preparation and proper onigiri shaping techniques
- All ingredients sourced for easy international availability
- Small-group format with time for questions and conversation
- Lunch included; wear provided apron and towel
- Vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free options accommodated
- Home-style kitchen setting, not a formal restaurant
What to expect
You'll arrive at the studio and receive an apron and towel. The class begins with an introduction to Japanese home cooking fundamentals, starting with how to cook rice properly and prepare dashi broth from scratch. You'll then work through each dish systematically: shape three different onigiri varieties, assemble miso soup, fry tonkatsu cutlets, prepare salmon teriyaki, roll dashimaki tamago (layered egg), and prepare a seasonal vegetable side. Throughout, the instructor guides you through techniques and answers questions in a relaxed, conversational atmosphere.
As you finish each component, dishes come together for lunch, which you'll eat family-style in the kitchen. The class wraps with a chance to discuss recipes, sourcing ingredients at home, and any final cooking questions. You leave with practical knowledge and confidence to cook these meals again.

Good to know
This suits anyone keen to cook authentic Japanese food at home, whether you've cooked Japanese before or not. No prior experience is needed. Expect to be on your feet for most of the 3 hours, handling knives and hot equipment, so reasonable mobility is assumed. The studio accommodates dietary needs if you flag them at booking; mention any allergies or restrictions early. The class is small-group (exact number not specified), which keeps it intimate. Lunch is included; apron and towel are provided. Public transport reaches the studio; private transport isn't part of the package. Infants and small children are welcome (can use prams/strollers or sit on laps; specialised infant seats available), though a kitchen environment with active cooking may not suit very young toddlers.
