Authentic Japanese cooking class in Tokyo with a local chef

Meet Chieko

Chieko is a certified cooking instructor with a passion for cooking. She was born and raised on Shikoku Island and then lived in Kyoto, Osaka, and Los Angeles before moving to Tokyo. Growing up on an island ensured that Chieko always had access to fresh seafood, vegetables and rice. Her parents were farmers so cooking with fresh, seasonal and local ingredients is very important to Chieko. Chieko learned to cook traditional Japanese dishes from her mother - she has fond memories watching and helping her mother in her kitchen. Chieko is so excited to meet travelers from all over the world and teach them how to prepare a satisfying, home-cooked Japanese meal.
