Emi is passionate about cooking traditional Japanese home-style dishes. After years of learning from three renowned chefs, she became a culinary expert who can prepare almost any authentic Japanese or washoku dish. She recently decided to pursue her passion for cooking by opening her own cooking studio to share her passion for food and Tokyo life with others. A Tokyo native, Emi enjoys meeting travelers and learning about other cultures. She adores food from every corner of the globe but is also passionate about Japanese cuisine and teas, in addition to cats, photography and hiking! She has a deep interest in nutrition science and values using the freshest, top quality ingredients. Travelers will join Emi in her cooking studio for a cooking lesson during which they will learn to prepare 3-5 authentic Japanese dishes in the Teishoku style, characterized by the use of several vegetables as side dishes and a meat or fish as the main. Dishes might include ginger pork, chicken teriyaki, chicken karaage or slow cooked grilled fish served with a side of miso soup, nimono (slow cooked vegetables and meat with soy sauce), or stir fried egg and vegetables. The meal will end with dessert and traditional Japanese green tea. Please note that Emi's kitchen studio is not suitable for children 9 and under.

Featured Destinations

Tokyo

Tokyo, Japan, presents a different view at every turn. It's one of the world's main economic centers and its most populous agglomeration. The business of Tokyo is business, but you can still find harmony and small-scale gardens on back streets. Around the corner from neon and concrete, you may find the bonsai-lined courtyard of a traditional inn.

Tokyo was nearly destroyed by bombs and fires during World War II, and by earthquakes at other times, but it has always rebuilt itself. As a result, there is little left of Old Japan in the city, but there's plenty of New Japan to take its place.

The streets are a confusing maze, so a map is essential. The transit system is excellent, however, and there are kobans (police boxes) throughout the metropolis, as well as a populace generally willing to answer questions.

Visitors to Tokyo represent both business and leisure travelers. And despite its past reputation, Tokyo is no longer fearsomely expensive. It's relatively easy to visit Tokyo on a budget.
