Toshiko, a mother of two, shares her passion for cooking through the meals she lovingly prepares for family and friends, who always savor her dishes with smiles. She enjoys connecting with people worldwide, sharing Japan's rich culinary traditions. Join Toshiko in her apartment’s party room for a 1.5-hour cooking demonstration, where you'll learn about key ingredients like shoyu, sake, konnyaku, and mirin. She will guide you through an authentic cooking demonstration, teaching you how to prepare dashi - the essential base for many Japanese dishes, including nikujaga, miso soup, and other homestyle favorites. The 1.5-hour demonstration is followed by a delightful meal, where you'll savor the dishes prepared, sharing this intimate dining experience with Toshiko and her family. Enjoy your meal with a choice of sake or beer to complement the authentic flavors. Please note that this is a cooking demonstration, not a hands-on class, due to space constraints.
