It was wonderful to welcome returning guests from Hungary after a year. 🇭🇺 Seeing more repeat guests join my classes truly makes me happy.
Last time, they joined the Ramen & Gyoza class, and this time they chose the Japanese home cooking class. We started with how to make dashi, then learned how to cook fluffy rice, miso soup, classic pickles, and several main and side dishes using both meat and fish.
They told me they’ll be back again next year — I’m already looking forward to seeing them again! ✨

Recently, I hosted a pop-up cooking class at a birthday party with kids from all over the world 🎂 Arrived on site looking a bit like a traveling vendor. We cooked Okonomiyaki and Dango parfait together.
Guests who joined us before came back again, this time bringing their friend! Last time, they took our Ramen & Gyoza class, and this time they joined the Bento class 🍱 While catching up on each other’s recent stories, I was able to share deeper techniques of Japanese home cooking. It was such a wonderful time. Hope to see them again in the near future! ✨
Mackerel simmered in miso (鯖の味噌煮) is a traditional Japanese dish made by gently cooking mackerel in a savory sauce of miso paste, sake, mirin, sugar, and ginger. The miso gives the dish a rich, slightly sweet and salty flavor, while ginger helps remove any fishy smell. It is commonly served as a home-style meal and eaten with rice.
After each class, I usually take my guests on a Japanese supermarket tour in my neighborhood to introduce local products and everyday foods. This time, they bought those Japanese foods!

Ten-chazuke is a type of ochazuke in which tempura is placed over rice and served with green tea or roasted green tea poured on top.
The word “ten” refers to tempura, and when tea is added to freshly fried tempura, the batter softens slightly, creating a light and refreshing flavor that reduces the heaviness of the oil. It is often served as a finishing dish after a tempura rice bowl (tendon), offering a satisfying yet pleasantly light conclusion to the meal.

IYOSHI Cola is a Japanese craft cola brand based in Tokyo. Made with natural ingredients such as kola nuts, citrus, and a carefully selected blend of spices, it offers a complex and refreshing flavor unlike mass-produced colas.
Shabu-shabu (しゃぶしゃぶ) is a Japanese hot pot dish. It is named after the sound “shabu shabu,” which describes the swishing motion used when cooking the meat in hot broth. A pot of water or light broth, usually flavored with kombu (kelp), is heated at the table. Thinly sliced meat, such as beef or pork, is briefly swished in the hot liquid until just cooked. Vegetables like napa cabbage, mushrooms, tofu, and leafy greens are also cooked in the pot.
The cooked meat and vegetables are dipped in sauces, most commonly ponzu (a citrus soy sauce) or sesame sauce, before eating. Because the meat is cooked very quickly, it stays tender and light. Shabu-shabu is often enjoyed as a social meal, where everyone cooks and eats together, especially during colder seasons in Japan.
Last year, I was so happy to welcome guests from many different countries to my kitchen studio 🌍✨ Many guests visited the kitchen studio for the first time in several years, and it was a truly joyful time to catch up with one another while cooking together.
This year as well, I hope to continue creating warm and memorable in-person experiences for everyone who loves Japanese food culture and is visiting Japan 🇯🇵🍱
