Make Fluffy Japanese Pancakes in a Tokyo Home Cooking Class with a Local Host!

Join a hands-on cooking class in Setagaya, one of Tokyo’s peaceful residential neighborhoods, and learn the secrets to making fluffy Japanese pancakes, also known as soufflé pancakes, with a friendly local host, Tomoko. Meet Tomoko near Todoroki Station and take a short stroll together through charming Japanese gardens before arriving at her beautiful home. In this 1-hour Japanese pancake class, you'll discover how to make the fluffiest pancakes from scratch, using Tomoko’s original recipe. Her unique version was developed through many trials and improvements, inspired by a traditional recipe from a Japanese patissier.

During the class, Tomoko will guide you step-by-step:
Learn how to prepare the pancake batter
Cook your own fluffy soufflé pancakes
Decorate with seasonal fruits, whipped cream, maple syrup, honey, chocolate sauce, walnuts, or powdered sugar

Tomoko will demonstrate the process first, then you’ll get to make your own pancakes, right from the batter to the final decoration. To make the experience even more special, your pancakes will be served on beautiful, hand-painted ceramic plates, created by Tomoko herself, alongside a refreshing glass of traditional matcha. Whether you're a foodie, pancake lover, or cultural traveler, this Tokyo cooking class offers a fun and authentic taste of Japanese home cooking.
Notes

1. Tomoko can offer dairy-free and eggetarian options upon request. Please note that the pancakes contain gluten (flour), eggs, and whipped cream.
2. Please note that Tomoko’s class is suitable for guests aged 12 and above only.
