Excursion Cooking experience with japanese chef tour at Yokohama

Tokyo, Cooking Studio, Interactive Japanese Cooking Lesson

Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately 30 -minute drive to a cooking studio in Tokyo. Upon arrival, meet your chef and begin your Japanese cooking lesson. The focus of today's lesson is tempura, the renowned Japanese food. Introduced to Japan during the 16th century by the Portuguese in Nagasaki, tempura has developed over the centuries into a popular Japanese dish both inside-and-outside of Japan. Tempura can be found in many types of restaurants across the country, where it is commonly served as a main dish, side dish, or as a topping for tendon rice bowls (udon) and soba noodle dishes.

Preparation of Tempura and Side Dishes, Lunch

In addition to tempura, learn about and participate in the preparation of two Japanese seasonal side dishes (rolled omelette, green beans with sesame seeds, or similar). Following your cooking lesson proceed for a lunch consisting of the meal you have helped to prepare, which is served with miso soup, white rice, Japanese tea and mineral water.
