Hi, I’m Aki—your Tokyo mom for the day.
Join a warm, home-style cooking experience where you’ll make ramen and gyoza from scratch in a small, friendly group.
This is more than a cooking class. It’s a chance to slow down, cook together, and share a genuine moment in Tokyo. I’ll guide you step by step—from kneading noodles to preparing a rich, comforting broth and handmade dumplings.
Many guests say it feels like visiting a local home rather than joining a typical class.
As a former backpacker and mother of three, I love connecting with people from around the world and sharing everyday Japanese food culture in a personal way.
