4.9 (404)

Hideo was born in Yotsuya, Tokyo. His father was a playwright and owned two Japanese restaurants, Kihei of Tokyo and Misuji, where he commenced his training, whilst still at school at Shinjuku High School and through to Nihon University. Hideo learnt from his parents the principles of sushi and kappo-ryori food preparation, cooking and presentation. These methods have been passed down through generations of his family. At the same time, he learnt the philosophy of Chakaiseki (the tea ceremony cuisine), Teikanryu Shodô (Calligraphy), Ikenobou-Ryuseiha (flower arrangement) and Hôchô Shiki (the cooking knife ceremony) under the tutelage of Shijyoushinryu by Iemoto-Shishikura Soken-Sensei.

After years of cooking and demonstrating in Japan, Hideo's interests led him to Europe to study classical French cuisine, England and then the United States, where he was able to combine his skills in Japanese and European cuisine by working as a demonstrator in California.

In 1972 Hideo visited Australia for the first time and settled in Sydney in 1974. He set up Japanese Functions of Sydney, the first Japanese catering company in Sydney, which was highly successful. He has lectured in several places and has now opened Culinary Studio Dekura in Chatswood.

Hideo is a master of Shijoshin-ryu in Sydney. Furthermore he is a member of Food Professional Australia, (formally Food Media Australia), Japan Master Chef Association, and a lecturer at the Sydney Sea Food School.

He is the author of several Japanese cooking books and cooking videos.

In 2007 and 2015 Hideo was presented with an award from the Japanese Government to those who have made significant contributions to the promotion of Japanese food and cooking.

In 2016 He was appointed as Goodwill Ambassador for Japanese Cuisine.

My 13YO son really enjoyed the experience and gleefully told me how I was making sushi all wrong. I also got to do a tasting and they were delicious. I ended up buying his sushi for kids book to inspire my son to cook rather than me.

My son enjoyed his time and loved it so much we will definitely go back again

Kiri McCurdy • Sep 2023

My daughter loved this and came out with a newfound culinary confidence. I recommend the experience and the sushi was a step above ordinary and really yum. I wasn’t allowed to stay inside but I could watch through a window and the teachers were exceptionally patient and kind throughout.

Davina Wong • Dec 2022

My 7 year old had a blast! Highly recommended. He really enjoyed it and would do it again.

Edward Chung • Oct 2022

Strongly recommed this place for kid's birthday party, it beats all those chocolate making, artwork, bath bombs, princess, etc places (we've tried all). My girl had her 11yo party about a week ago, she and friends (total 9) had an amazing time. All 1.5 hrs were FULLY engaged as Hideo sensei n his assistant put great attention to them, and he is very funny too. Barely enough time for cake cutting. Everyone had an individual setup with all the ingredients provided. They loved the accomplishment of a genuine edible delicious sushi (refer to photo). The completed sushi (if uneaten) were taken back home. Thank you Hideo's team, I'm certain we'll return next year!

Darren Broadhead • Jan 2022

The classroom is a professional kitchen in a leafy suburb with good parking. Hideo Dekura is a licensed from Japan and does more than just kids sushi so he knows his subject matter and can answer adult questions as well. The sushi that we learned to make was very pretty. The kids had a great time. I truly liked Hideo a lot and would recommend this.

Interactive class led by friendly knowledgeable teacher who taught skills and shared his Japanese culture. Kids got to make their own sushi rolls, present them in a Japanese bowl, eat them and take any leftovers home. Highly recommend!

My sushi-loving 8 year old son enjoyed this class immensely, couldn’t stop talking about it all afternoon! He was very proud of his new sushi skills and loved the instructor who was so kind.

“Nice learning from a sushi master!”

He was very patient with the kids and explained why you roll the sushi in that way. The rolls were really yummy and overall a great experience for brand new and experienced cooks!
