도쿄여행 중 가장 즐거웠던 시간이었습니다. 평소에도 일본 가정식에 관심이 많았는데 유카 선생님 덕분에 잘 배웠습니다. 다음번에도 꼭 방문할 예정입니디 🙂👍 선생님 건강하세요 !

So amazing, thank you to our host Haime who went above and beyond. This vegan option for those who follow the diet, don’t eat raw fish, or want to learn a different way have to try. He went above and beyond to explain everything and invited us to dine in their restaurant for dinner, including making us a vegan dinner. I can’t recommend the class enough and look forward to teaching my family the recipe. Thank you, Haime!

My cooking lesson with Yuka was perfect! She was very organized, her instructions were very clear, and time was well managed. The food I learned to make was delicious and easy enough that I feel confident I can make it again when I return home, and no now I have the recipes she gave me to help. I’m very happy with my experience.

Hide was a very friendly and well-prepared host. There were 2 of us (1 vegan and 1 "all-eater") and he catered to both people individually. We were able to ask him lots of questions - his English was very good! There was a pleasant atmosphere and the sushi was excellent! Highly recommended♡

Exceeded expectations. Look for the metal sign in front of the restaurant. Yukihide spoke excellent english and made us feel at home. Instruction was fun and informative. Our group learned new tips for making vegan sushi and enjoyed the sushi we made.

Five stars all around! Hide was excellent to talk with, and we enjoyed making different types of vegan sushi. Ingredients were prepared ahead of time (which makes sense for the time allotted), and the specifics of how they were prepared and organized were not explicitly part of the class structure. However, we were able to ask Hide many questions about how he prepared and planned each rolls ingredients, which was very helpful! This is an excellent class for beginners learning to make vegan sushi.

Discover the Essence of Shojin Ryori in Japan

If you're a vegetarian or simply someone eager to explore Japan's traditional cuisine, our Shojin Ryori cooking classes are a perfect match. These classes are more than just a cooking lesson; they are a deep dive into the philosophy and practice behind this traditional form of Japanese Buddhist vegetarian cuisine. Shojin Ryori, which translates to "devotional cuisine," is rooted in the principles of Buddhism – simplicity, mindfulness, and respect for nature. By participating in these classes, you will not only learn how to prepare exquisite vegetarian dishes but also gain insight into the cultural and spiritual elements that make Shojin Ryori a fulfilling culinary experience.

Learn the Art of Shojin Ryori Cooking in the Heart of Japan

The classes are typically held in serene settings, away from the bustling city life, to enhance your learning experience. Under the guidance of experienced instructors, you will explore a variety of techniques and ingredients. From using seasonal vegetables to applying unique flavoring methods, these classes will teach you how to create a harmonious balance of taste and nourishment. As you progress, you'll learn how to transform simple ingredients into beautifully presented dishes, adhering to the principle of five colors and five flavors commonly emphasized in Shojin Ryori. One of the most enriching aspects of these classes is the opportunity to experience cooking as meditation, promoting a deep connection with the food and the art of preparation.
