Your teacher
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.

Fantastic experience, great teacher and delicious meal! An experience we will remember for a long long time.
Aljon • Oct 2020
What was the teacher like?
Master Dekura have a wealth of knowledge and experience that he enthusiastically shared with us in class! For someone who’s never done in food prep let alone preparing the most difficult fish to handle is truly an achievement to me with his careful guidance!
How was the venue?
The venue is very cozy and gave a good feel of being in a professional Japanese restaurant kitchen while the overall atmosphere is very home-like and definitely made me feel like I’ve traveled in Japan without the need to quarantine.
If materials were provided, did you like them?
Just bring yourself, everything else is provided!
Was the class good value for money?
Definitely! It is such an amazing experience and I will tell tales about my amazing experience in the years to come.
What did you do / learn?
How to prepare my go-to dish Grilled Unagi!
Arisa Martin • Oct 2020
2 ClassBento workshops attended
Absolutely amazing class! My husband and I enjoyed learning how to prepare and cook Unagi. I must say that this is one of the best Unagi we ever tasted!
Julia Luo • Oct 2020
Absolutely worth it. We cooked fresh eel all the way from Coffs Harbour. A complete course with flavours And presentation you would find in a highly rated restaurant. Eel is one of those specialty fishes that I would never have attempted at home by myself, but I am confident to recreate what I learnt knowing the flavours will be delicious. Lucky to be learning from such a respected cook.
