An authentic Japanese experience

Published on Sep, 2024

Shiori was an amazing host and gave us much insight into the preparation of the dish and the required techniques. She was most welcoming and made us feel very comfortable in her home. We would definitely love to cook with Shiori again.

You can’t leave Sapporo without going to Shiro’s home!

Published on Sep, 2024

This was truly a UNIQUE experience and delicious dinner. We were to spend 2 days in Sapporo after a 2week tour of Japan, and we were looking to live an authentic Sapporo/Japanese home cooking experience. So other than sleeping at a ryokan, we searched for something which would give us the chance to dive into the local culture and cuisine despite being a 2-day trip only. The added value of this experience was Shiro! She made sure we were comfortable in her home and truly eager to help us get to know more about their traditional cuisine, while being very open to share about the daily life and habits of a local family. We learned how to make sushi and other dishes, while she had previously prepared a lot of other delicious dishes, including her homemade plum sake which was maturing for 3 years! We spent a great evening (from 6pm pick up time at the station to about 9:30pm), her English was good and with this we really felt like we managed to live a real and authentic local experience without which it just wouldn’t have been the same trip. Thank you again Shiro for opening your house to us and for such a wonderful time!!! PS. By the way I returned home in Italy and have made a sushi party at home, making sushi myself for my friends by following Shiro’s instructions and was a real success!

A great experience in suburban Sapporo

Published on Jul, 2024

Shiori and her husband invited me into their home for a great evening of cooking, dinner and conversation. It was a lovely way to experience what local life and food culture is like in Sapporo. I recommend you skip lunch, and make sure you try Shiori’s plum saké, you won’t regret it!

Sushi making and fun time with Shiori

Learning to make sushi and being able to enjoy a meal using ingredients from Hokkaido. Shiori was a great instructor and host. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience.

Wonderful in-home experience!

Published on Jun, 2024

We made sushi and I learned techniques that were new to me and that I will use when I return home. I enjoyed sampling a big range of different dishes that were prepared by an amazing cook with a strong background in professional and personal hospitality. Great memories were made!
