Episode 28-- Junko Takashima & Eiko Ishikawa: JJ Kitchen in Tokyo

Made in Japan-- Conversations with Meljo Catalan

Japanese cuisine is no doubt one of the attractive lures to visit this country. For every Japanophile, there will always be a glorification for one’s favorite ramen bowl, sushi bite or okonomiyaki plate. We all hold these experiences so dearly. However most visitors and foreign residents often miss out on the chance to cook and eat home cooked “Washoku” until recently. Here’s Junko and Eiko running JJ Kitchen in Tokyo ( @jj.kitchen.tokyo ) . They’ve just opened their kitchen studio and have been quietly gaining street rep for providing laid back cooking lessons to the local foreigners and visitors who are curious in attempting what most Japanese families often serve at home. For those of you here or soon to be inbound in Japan and want to cook the real deal Japanese family-style cooking, these ladies are legit going to teach you while making you feel at home.
