Menu

• Making Onigiri

Have you ever made onigiri (rice balls)? It's quite simple, and anyone can create delicious ones! With just some filling, salt, cooked rice, and seaweed, you can easily shape them into triangular onigiri.

• Tamagoyaki

Tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet) is a popular dish. Simply pour the egg mixture into a square frying pan and roll it up!

• Takoyaki

Takoyaki, a well-known dish from Osaka, can be enjoyed without having to visit Osaka! Even better, you can make it yourself and feel like a takoyaki chef.

• Easy Tea Ceremony

Experience the Japanese tea ceremony! While it may seem complex, in my class, you can enjoy a simplified version right at the table using traditional tea ceremony tools to make your own matcha.
