Classes with the Goodwill Ambassador for Japanese Cuisine

4.9 (406)

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.

Mr Dekura literally wrote the book on Tempura cooking so wonderful to hear his wealth of information as well as admire his culinary skills. He is knowledgeable, good humoured and patient. Everyone had a great time and hopefully will use their new found skills to prepare a great meal at home.

Brilliant class. Hideo-san is an excellent teacher who is very generous with his time and who is keen to share his deep knowledge of Japanese food and cooking techniques. Would highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn more about both tempura and Japanese food preparation in general.

One of the best cooking classes ever! It was a privilege to be taught by one of the great masters of Japanese cuisine. The tempura was delicious and it was the finer details that I appreciated learning. The conversation was a highlight also as Hideo san is very interesting person with some great stories.
