OFFER ID 1305779

Midori has been cooking and researching Japanese and South East Asian cuisine for over three decades and is a wealth of knowledge on Japanese cuisine. She grew up in Akashi city where she learned traditional Japanese cooking from her grandmother. In 1995, Midori decided she wanted to share her cooking skills with others and started teaching cooking classes in Kyoto. Her centrally-located cooking studio is a 'machiya', a traditional wooden townhouse found throughout Japan. Here she teaches Japanese locals about South East Asian food, and international travelers about homemade Japanese food. Midori believes sharing her passion for food is a wonderful way to connect with people and their culture! Midori will welcome guests with Japanese smoked tea and wagashi, traditional confections typically eaten with tea. She will then introduce travelers to traditional Japanese ingredients used in Japanese home cooking, such as soy sauce, mirin, sake, and miso. Then travelers will enjoy a cooking demonstration (please note this is not a hands-on class) where Midori will prepare one of three possible menus. Menu choices include: Set 1) Teriyaki Chicken Menu (teriyaki chicken, two seasonal vegetable sides, miso soup, rice), Set 2) Maki Sushi Menu (maki sushi, tamago yaki, one seasonal vegetable side, miso soup) or Set 3) Kansai Street Food Menu (okonomiyaki, takoyaki, yaki gyoza, miso soup). Midori also offers an optional market tour add-on of Kyoto's four-hundred-year-old Nishiki Market, is one of Japan's most iconic markets. Please note that the market tour takes place after the cooking demonstration; the market is about a six-minute walk from Midori's cooking studio. Midori offers Halal, Kosher and Vegan Meals as well, so please inform Traveling Spoon if you have any special dietary restrictions.
