5.5 hours
1 to 15
label $298 (or 4 payments of $74.50 via- Afterpay)
What you'll do
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 Cooking Class (Intermediate).
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 intermediate 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
- How to prepare Inari sushi from scratch
- Prepare two flavours of quinoa sushi
- Prepare reduced sugar inari skin from scratch
All classes are served with alkaline water and Matcha green tea.
Please note:

Yoshiko and her assistant were brilliant - learnt so much and loved the course. Highly recommended
Tony Jordan • Apr 2019
Yoshiko is a very vibrant, knowledgeable and giving lady. Her style of teaching and encouraging participants is unique. Her recipes are easy to follow and she offers for sale key ingredients such would normally be hard to find.
Her assistant Maya is the absolute foundation for each class
The venue is acceptable but classes should be capped to many in a class means is harder to work safely.

Teacher was very informative and detailed. Quality inputs on healthy ingredients. Ample handson and tasty healthy eating once cooked. Good venue. Parking took a while for first time. Suggesting Wilson parking near by Westfield. Mine required a full day as I took a basic full day basic intensive Japanese cooking. A must attend for a healthy eating. An excellent team.
