The local cuisine of Nagoya is unique. In Japan, Nagoya’s local food is called “Nagoya Meshi” (名古屋めし). And because almost all dishes use meat, fish, or egg they are not vegan friendly.
During this cooking class, you can experience authentic Nagoya Meshi with a vegan twist. Learn to cook using the local red Miso paste and make dishes such as Miso Soup, and vegan Miso Katsu (deep-fried tofu cutlet with Miso sauce). Make other Nagoya-style dishes such as Tebasaki (chicken wings) using tofu and burdock, and Tenmusu (mini rice balls with Tempura) from scratch at a Japanese home.

Akiko’s love and excitement for cooking began as a child growing up in a suburb of Nagoya. By the time she was in high school, she could prepare her own bento box and she still has fond memories of Takoyaki, the crispy Octopus dumplings that were cooked in her home almost every day! She has been cooking for almost 40 years now and it is the one thing that truly keeps her happy.
Akiko is thrilled about the opportunity to share specialties from Nagoya as a lot of people don’t know how to cook Nagoya-style food. Because of this, many Nagoyans themselves eat their local specialties at restaurants.
Akiko was a great host and showed me some super yummy recipes. She’s so lovely and we had a great time cooking together.
It’s so good to find a vegan cooking class that does Japanese food.
Thank you Akiko!
The cooking experience with Akiko was great! I was impressed by Akiko’s hospitality, kindness and cooking art!
I had a fun last night! Thank you for hosting me! I ate Tenmusu and tofu cutlet next day, it was still delicious. Thank you for the fun time. Really love the food! Will try them in Singapore.
