You know what good Japanese food tastes like.
You just don't have four hours on a Sunday to make it.
oishee pairs you with a cook specialising in Japanese cuisine who
makes a week's worth of home-cooked meals in your kitchen - leaving
your fridge stocked for the days ahead. No booking a table. No meal
kit. Just real Japanese food, made properly, by someone who grew up on
it.
All our cooks grew up on the food they'll be serving you.
02
Cooked in your home
The cook handles everything - prep, cooking and clean up.
03
Meals for the week
Come home to real Japanese food every night without compromise
or effort.
04
You're inviting someone into your home
Every cook is interviewed in person, Level 2 Food Hygiene
certified, and has cooked our core dishes for us before stepping
foot in your kitchen.
The menu
Eight core Japanese dishes. All classics.
These are our staples - but we're flexible. If you'd like something
else, just mention it when you get in touch and we'll see what we
can do.

Most dishes contain soya and gluten (from soy sauce). Our food is
prepared in your kitchen, which may also handle other allergens, so we
can't guarantee a dish is free from traces. Tell us about any allergies
or dietary needs when you book and we'll adapt where we can.

From a recent visit
Used oishee a few times now. I've had some of the core menu before
which I LOVE but last time managed to have the cook make us Korean
beef bulgogi and pork katsu, it was soooo good. Highly recommend!!

Cooks who grew up on Japanese food and know how to make it
properly. Every cook holds a Level 2 Food Hygiene certificate and
has cooked for us before cooking for you.
You'll need to let the cook in at the start and be around when
they leave, but you don't need to hover. Most customers use the
time to get on with other things.
Yes. If you'd rather not have a cook in your home, we can make
everything in our own kitchen and deliver it to you the same day,
at a time that suits you. Two things worth knowing: we source all
the ingredients ourselves in this case, so it's priced as our
full-service option - £130 for 2 dishes, £155 for 3. And because
the cooking happens in our kitchen rather than yours, you won't
see any of the process or pick anything up from watching a cook
work. If that suits you better, just mention it when you get in
touch and we'll arrange it.
Payment is taken before the visit, once everything is confirmed.
We'll send you a payment link via WhatsApp. No surprises on the
day.
Life happens. We ask for at least 48 hours notice where possible
so we can let the cook know. Message us on WhatsApp and we'll sort
it out.
Yes - your kitchen, your equipment. The cook will use whatever you
have available. If there's anything specific they'll need, we'll
let you know when confirming the booking. Everything is washed up
and left clean before they leave.
Yes - please have containers ready before the visit. Around four
to six decent-sized tupperwares will cover a full visit
comfortably. We'll remind you when we confirm your booking.
Most dishes keep well for 3-4 days in the fridge. The miso glazed
salmon is best eaten within 2-3 days. Most dishes also freeze well
if you want to stretch things further.
