About this event

In just one day, you can master the fundamentals of healthy and easy Japanese Cooking in a fully hands-on and fun workshop while gaining practical skills and knowledge. Save your time and money ($40 off) in this intensive workshop combining the Japanese Cooking Class (Beginner) and Japanese Izakaya Cooking Class.


Follow detailed demonstrations by celebrated chef Yoshiko Takeuchi, who has had over twenty years experience and has frequented some of Sydney's top kitchens, authored two cookbooks and worked on shows like The Biggest Loser.


Did you know most Japanese restaurants use lots of MSG in their cooking! These restaurants also don’t use traditional ingredients meaning the food loses taste and nutrition! But don’t worry. This class is MSG-free and we will use only traditional, high-quality Japanese ingredients to make our food yummy and healthy.


You will follow traditional methods replicable at home, including essential Japanese seasonings, cooking techniques and a variety of yummy recipes.


Some examples of what will be covered from the beginner class:

An understanding of basic Japanese seasonings

How to balance each meal

How to cook authentic rice

How to make vegetarian dashi stock

Miso soup (using homemade dashi/powdered dashi)

How to cook teriyaki

Making goma-ae (traditional Japanese salad) in two ways

Cooking perfect crispy tempura served with dipping sauce

Basic knife skills


Some examples of what will be covered from the izakaya class:

Cook healthier and easier eggplant dengaku

Learn how to cook this without deep-frying

Try two types of dengaku miso sauce

Prepare agedashi tofu from scratch, using nori and daikon

Daikon, edamame and umeboshi salad

Learn how to use daikon to maximise its health benefits

Master two techniques for making onigiri: the authentic traditional method and a quick, easier version.

All classes are served with Matcha green tea.
