My husband and I booked this class as our last fun experience on our honeymoon, and it was a great way to end our trip! Miyuki was a great instructor. She explained every step very clearly and had so much patience in answering our numerous questions throughout the class. The meal we created in the end was so delicious. We can't wait to practice what we learned back at home. Highly recommend this class!

We had an absolutely wonderful time! Joining this cooking sessions was a very special and comforting experience: We learned a lot about Japanese food, eating culture and cooking. The food we have created was yummy and we even got the recipes and special hacks to prepare them at home. Our cooking teachers spoke perfect English and were lovely and open for any of our many curious questions. The studio is centrally located in an old Japanese house. Only being there is great. We fully recommend this unique experience. - Connecting with Japanese food and people.

So fun to do this as a group! Samurai Max was a great host and taught us a lot about Japanese cuisine. There were 6 people in our group and we made 6 dishes so we had plenty to eat — really great unique experience while here in Osaka. Would recommend if you’re looking for something different to do with your group.

Discover Vegetarian Japanese Home Cooking

Experience the art of Japanese cuisine with our Vegetarian Japanese Home Cooking classes. These cooking classes are designed for food enthusiasts who are curious to delve into the plant-based side of traditional Japanese cooking. Whether you are a full-time vegetarian or simply looking to explore more meat-free options, these sessions will provide you with all the necessary skills and knowledge to create authentic and delicious Japanese dishes from the comfort of your own kitchen.

In these classes, you'll learn how to use key vegetarian-friendly Japanese ingredients, such as tofu, miso, soy sauce, and a variety of fresh vegetables, to craft meals that are both nutritious and satisfying. From classic miso soup, tangy cucumber sunomono to intricate sushi rolls made without fish, there is an array of dishes that one can enjoy without compromising on flavor. Embrace the simplicity and balance that is central to Japanese home cooking.

Hands-On Cooking Classes with Expert Chefs

Our Vegetarian Japanese Home Cooking classes are led by experienced chefs who have spent years mastering the art of Japanese cuisine. These classes offer hands-on experience, allowing you to practice each technique and get real-time feedback from our expert instructors. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your culinary skills, our classes are suitable for all levels of expertise. The chefs will guide you through each step, ensuring that you understand both the technique and the cultural context behind each dish.

Classes are kept small to ensure personalized attention, making sure every participant gets the most out of their cooking experience. Learn delicate knife skills essential for Japanese cooking or discover the secrets behind preparing the perfect rice—every aspect of Japanese home cooking is covered comprehensively. Each session will leave you with new skills and the confidence to recreate these dishes at home.

Enjoy the Taste of Tradition in a Modern Way

While these vegetarian Japanese home cooking classes are rooted in tradition, they also embrace modern trends, allowing you to incorporate elements from other cuisines and cater to contemporary dietary preferences. By focusing on plant-based ingredients, these classes promote a sustainable lifestyle, which is an important aspect of modern culinary practices.

Besides learning how to cook, you'll be introduced to the Japanese concept of umami—a savory taste that is often considered the fifth basic taste. Through the use of kombu (seaweed) and shiitake mushrooms, traditional components in creating vegetarian dashi (Japanese soup stock), you'll learn how to enhance the flavors of your dishes naturally.

Embarking on this culinary journey will not only refine your cooking skills but also expand your palate and understanding of Japanese culture. By the end of the class, you can expect to have a greater appreciation for the delicate flavors and simplicity that are hallmarks of Japanese cuisine, all while adhering to a vegetarian lifestyle.

Join us for a unique cooking class experience that celebrates the art of vegetarianism within Japanese cuisine, merging tradition with innovation and offering a wholesome approach to modern dining.
