Mochi is a traditional Japanese rice cake. This glutinous treat has gained international popularity in recent years.

It's a great option if you are looking for something traditionally Japanese that is vegan or vegetarian.
The class costs ¥10,000 per person and covers four different mochi sweets. You can expect two and a half hours of learning how to make these delicious treats, while sipping green tea and enjoying delicious mochi.

Udon is a thicker noodle than the ones traditionally used in ramen. This type of noodle fills you up and leaves you wanting more. In this class, you will learn not only how to make udon but also get the opportunity to write in Japanese kanji, a system of writing based on Chinese characters, using traditional calligraphy tools.
The class is a combined cultural and culinary experience. Your instructor is a licensed dietician and a calligrapher. She has found a unique and interesting way to share her two passions. Her course runs for three and a half hours and costs ¥12,000.

The three-hour course is open to all skill levels and is limited to three students, so expect a lot of individual attention.

7. Handmade Soba Noodles Cooking Class

Cold buckwheat noodles in an iced broth, and at just the right moment the wasabi kicks in ... This is a dish we feel everyone should be excited about, but there are many different ways to serve soba. If you have decided that you want to learn to cook in Tokyo, then this is probably already on your list of must-learn recipes.
This soba noodle course costs ¥12,000 and runs for two hours. It is a great option if you have any vegan, pescatarian, kosher, or halal dietary requirements.

This is a chance to learn more about both wagyu (premium Japanese beef) and kaiseki (traditional Japanese haute cuisine, often in the form of a multiple-course plated meal). The cooking class changes monthly, so it’s a great activity to do regularly if you want to learn to cook in Tokyo.
The instructors are quite accommodating with dietary restrictions, so vegetarian, halal, pescatarian and kosher eaters are all welcome to attend—and the teachers will demonstrate how to substitute accordingly.
This course runs for three hours and will cost ¥9,500. Children under five years old are free, and you will only need to cover the cost of their ingredients.
