COOKING CLASSES
Cooking classes are taught in Hiroko's private home kitchen which can accommodate 6-14 students. The culinary atelier offers several kinds of classes including French, Italian, Chakaiseki (the formal meal served for Japanese tea ceremony) and the new Washoku, (Japanese traditional cuisine recently added in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list.) All classes except guest chef's class are hands-on and participants prepare the dishes together and eat what they make in the class!
