Eat/Drink like A LOCAL - Taverns & Ramen
LET'S GET OUT OF THE TOURIST AREA where it is overpriced and crowded with people! This tour focuses on Ueno, which is not as crowded as Shibuya, Shinjuku and is less touristy. It is also famous with Japanese foodies for a good quality at reasonable prices. I'm going to take you to popular bars and restaurants for ONLY LOCALS (NO TOURISTS!!) where the staff speaks only Japanese. I will order signature dishes, and we will discuss the food and drink (and you can pepper me with questions). We will visit 4 restaurants/taverns in total, where you will sample sashimi, grilled fish and skewered meat, etc. You will also have the opportunity to try UNIQUE Japanese alcoholic drinks (5 or more different type of drinks) and you'll be able to experience what Japanese taverns are like. After visiting these three taverns, we will end the tour at a great Ramen shop that is popular with locals. At the end of the tour, I will explain which train station you need to go, depending on where you go. You are going to have a full-size meal on the day in several different restaurants included ramen, so again pls come hungry!
Painting w/ Urushi lacquer&metal powder
"Maki-e" is a Japanese traditional art using urushi lacquer and metal powder. In this experimental class, you will decorate lacquerware using hira-maki-e—a simple technique that can be finished in one day. Even an absolute beginner, who knows nothing at all about makie, can enjoy it. During this class, you can experience real maki-e, using genuine Japanese lacquer and metal powder. You can choose a vessel and a design from various stencils. I'll prepare the tools and materials, so you do not need to bring anything to the class. After tracing the design onto the vessel, you'll draw the design with a brush for maki-e and urushi lacquer, and sprinkle metal powder on top. At the end, I'll pack your work in a box for you to take home. After leaving it overnight, simply wipe off the extra powder to use your vessel. Other things to note If you have a particular design in mind, please prepare it in advance.
Ramen making with a chef
Tonkotsu ramen soup takes more than 8 hours to make and chicken soup takes at least 4 hours I would say. So we are making “shoyu” (soy sauce) ramen soup in my experience. And, let’s learn more about “Japanese ramen” where is it from originally, how many years it’s been since ramen was landed in Japan, what kind of flavors there, and what are the authentic ramen cooking method at home. So I am excited to share with you my home style Shoyu ramen soup recipe that I have created based on the recipe I have grown up eating! We’ll also make gyoza with lots of cabbage and chives, then pan fried serve bottom side up! Very classic Japanese gyoza ingredients and method of cooking. I will ask everyone to use your hands, chopping, form gyoza, and present the dishes we make. Lots of tips to learn more about Japanese culinary culture and what and how Japanese locals eat and live in Tokyo. This experience is hands-on cooking followed by my short cooking demos. Looking forward to having you all! Please note: *** WE DO NOT MAKE RAMEN NOODLES AND GYOZA WRAPPERS FROM SCRATCH - will explain why I don’t in my ramen class My IG @tokyocookingstudio My cooking studio website tokyocookingstudio. com
Shop for vintage kimonos with a stylist
Let's find a beautiful, reasonably-priced kimono. Usually it costs more than $2,800 for a kimono. However secondhand ones are priced from $75, and they can be beautiful and really unique. I'll show you my favorite secondhand shop where is in near SHINJUKU, and the treasure hunt will begin for kimono, belt, jacket, shoes, and bags. I'll ask you specific questions to understand your style in order to advise and help you find unique and edgy pieces. I recommend you choose a vintage kimono if you are under 5' 2" tall and 121 pounds. Vintage ones were worn by people in the past, who were smaller, which is why the kimonos are very small but cute and beautiful. If it's not your size, you can use it decoratively, as a tapestry. However, there are also modern kimonos. I recommend that you choose a modern style if you are tall. If you'd like to take a lunch after this event, I can guide you to restaurant which is Okinawan food. This restaurant is reasonable and casual. You can take unique and traditional island food.
