Hi, I'm Sayaka! I've been teaching cooking for 12 years, sharing enjoyable moments with students from Japan and abroad. I love cooking, traveling, and meeting new people. Drawing on my experience of living in Europe and the United States, I can suggest recipes using substitute ingredients when Japanese ingredients are hard to find. Let's enjoy cooking together!
Learn Authentic Japanese Home Cooking in a Local Chef's Kitchen
Join Sayaka in her cozy home kitchen in Fukuoka for an unforgettable hands-on cooking experience. In this 3-hour class, you'll learn to make two beloved Japanese comfort food classics: omurice (a traditional Japanese-style omelette wrapped around seasoned fried rice) and tonkatsu (crispy deep-fried pork cutlet).
With 12 years of teaching experience, Sayaka will guide you through every step with patience and expertise. You'll master the art of making a classic wrapped-style omurice — the traditional technique of skillfully folding the egg around the rice — and learn the secrets to achieving perfectly crispy tonkatsu with a juicy, tender interior.
The lesson takes place in Sayaka's home, providing an authentic Japanese domestic kitchen experience. After cooking together, you'll sit down to enjoy the meal you've prepared, along with a soft drink. Before you leave, Sayaka will share her recipes so you can recreate these dishes at home.
If you're interested, an optional guided tour of a local supermarket is available for an additional fee (JPY 2,000 per person, approximately 1 extra hour), where you'll learn about Japanese ingredients and discover items you won't find anywhere else.
