Motoko-chan no Wonder Kitchen (もと子ちゃんのワンダーキッチン?, "Little Motoko's Wonder Kitchen")[2] is a Super Famicom video game that teaches players how to cook meals in a realistic kitchen. During a promotional period that started on September 1993, the game was considered a promotional item that was given away with Ajinomoto mayonnaise purchases in Japan.[3]

The spiritual successor of this game would be Cooking Mama for the Nintendo DS and iOS.
