About this activity
Satoru was born in Hokkaido and grew up surrounded by nature and large vegetable fields. As a child, he would always harvest fresh vegetables from his family's fields and cook with his mother and grandmother who were wonderful home cooks. His grandmother never compromised in quality or technique when cooking and taught him everything she knew. Satoru is now a passionate home cook himself. His grandfather owned an organic miso factory that Satoru believed to be the best in the world. Although it closed after his grandfather passed away, his grandfather passed down his miso making techniques to his mother who sends Sato her handmade organic miso. This miso is the secret of Satoru's signature miso soup, something you won't want to miss. Satoru enjoys teaching people about Japanese food and helping them explore his local culture through food. He believes that there are so many delicious homemade Japanese foods that cannot be found in the restaurants and delights in sharing these dishes with travelers.

I did not know what to expect with this class as it was the first time going to someone's house I hadn't met in person to cook food but it was a blast! Sato-san was a very funny, welcoming, and courteous host with great explanations of the food we cooked and directions on how to make it. Sato-san went out of his way the few days before our scheduled tour to contact us about meeting soon and where to meet which I really appreciated. His background history on his grandfather's recipe for miso soup was quite interesting and the soup flavor was very delicious. I definitely recommend taking his class, you will not be disappointed! I hope to take another cooking class soon!
