Cooking for kids Tokyo (Onigiri, takoyaki snack)

OVERVIEW

Let your kids “cook” some wonderful Japanese treats. Japan has a variety of snacks that encourage children to use their creative skills. With an English-speaking instructor, your child will learn how to make instant foods like rice ball , takoyaki snacks from pre-measured ingredients. Up to five children can join at a time, and the duration of each lesson is about 1 hour.

IF THE DATE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS UNAVAILABLE TRY THE SAME COOKING CLASS IN OSAKA.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Your children are introduced to popular Japanese snacks
  • Children engage their creativity and imagination in making their own food
  • Constant supervision is provided, and a safe environment is maintained
  • Videos of the activities are made so you can preserve your memories
  • Try a diverse range of ingredients and flavours unique to Japan
  • A friendly host will explain and demonstrate correct cooking techniques
  • Held in a Japanese styled kitchen
  • Opportunities for taking photographs will be highlighted throughout
  • Special experience to cook wearing Kimono costume

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Encourage your children’s creativity and autonomy by giving them a chance to make their own food in a safe and supervised environment. Japan offers easy cooking like onigiri or lots of snacks that can be enjoyed only by following complicated instructions. Although these treats provide Japanese children with entertainment along with their snacks, non-Japanese kids often can’t understand what they need to do. With an English-speaking guide, your children will be taught the procedures to fully enjoy all that Japanese snacks have to offer. Children are provided step-by-step guidance, but are given enough freedom to feel a sense of accomplishment as they figure out the steps for making their own treats. Each demonstration is limited to five kids, so each child can be given a lot of person attention and assistance. Bring your children into the kitchen and watch their faces light up when they learn new skills in their own cooking adventure!

Learning about a country through cultural workshops and activities will give you a better understanding of our intricate history, valued social principals and holistic way of life. By learning about Japan and its people, you will be immersed in different perspectives and approaches that are unique to this country. Maiko Kitchen offers you opportunities to understand this culture through local instructors and guides. There is no better way to learn about a new place from the viewpoints of those who grew up and live in this amazing country. What better way to spend a day than learning a traditional, beautiful new activity with a knowledgeable tutor in a picturesque setting? You wouldn’t find friendlier people to help you experience Japan in all its splendor.

The Japanese Cooking Workshop provides you will a once in a life time experience: learning traditional Japanese dishes from local cooks in Japan! Tokyo is considered the food capital in Japan and there are many appetizing dishes from the area for you to try. Not only will you get to eat this delicious food, but learn how to make it yourself so you can make a feast back at home!

In this workshop, a qualified instructor will walk you through step by step of a customary Japanese meal. There are a range of different cooking courses for you to choose from, including lunch, dinner and confectionery classes. The last one is very unique as Japanese desserts have a distinctive flavor as the history of cooking in Japan didn’t include processed sugar till only a few hundred years ago. You will learn even more about the flavors of Japan, as well as the range of utensils used and explanation of the techniques required, while cooking a great meal as well!

Very smooth organization, wide variety of kimonos to choose from. They help you dress, do your hair and make you look beautiful and take pictures with your cameras. The tea ceremony was beautiful and we got to mix our own tea as we were told about the history and the practice of tea ceremony as well as other interesting Japanese culture tidbits.read more

The experience was lovely. The ladies there were all very kind and gave clear instructions that made the whole thing go smoothly. The kimonos to choose from were all beautiful and the tea ceremony was a good balance between instructional and experiential. Definitely a good choice if you want to attend a tea ceremony but don’t yet know the proper etiquette.read more

We went to participate in the tea ceremony, and it was absolutely perfect! The staff was so kind, spoke very good English and the kimonos were beautiful! I definitely recommend this place. We also took pictures for about 20-30 minutes afterwards, in a little room they have decorated for this purpose, and the staff was very patient with us! 😍read more

I was the first person ever to take part in a tea ceremony in the Tokyo location. I chose the kimono + tea ceremony option. A once-in-a-lifetime experience!My instructor was so professional and kind. First, she helped me with the choice of kimono and then she put it on me. Another young lady took care of my hair and I totally loved the result.The instructor really explained and demonstrated the respect that the Japanese people show to their guests and the tea. She took her time explaining everything to me and let me ask any kind of questions. After her explanations I was allowed to prepare a tea by myself. The instructor was so sweet and positive that I did not want to leave. She even offered to take pictures of me and with me afterwards :)I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to get a feel for traditions in Japan and an authentic experience. The price is very reasonable and the location is easy to find.read more
