Japanese Cooking Class: Traditional Japanese Breakfast with Fermented Seasonings - $79

FAQs

• I’m attending alone. Will I cook with a stranger?

  Yes, you will be part of a team! Solo attendees are paired with another guest to share a station. In the event of an odd number of attendees, you might even get the VIP treatment and cook alongside the instructor as a "Sous Chef" at the demo table!

• Do I need to bring anything?

  Just yourself and your enthusiasm! We provide all ingredients, aprons, and cooking equipment. However, you may wish to bring a notepad and pen to take notes on the fermentation tips we share during the session.

• Is there an age requirement for this class?

  Yes. For safety reasons, participants must be 18 years or older. This is because we will be using sharp chef's knives and operating gas stoves throughout the lesson.

• Is the menu suitable for special dietary needs?

  Yes! We designed this menu to be incredibly clean and healing. It is 100% Dairy-Free and contains ZERO added refined sugar (we use the natural sweetness of Koji Amazake and vegetables instead). The entire meal is also Gluten-Free friendly (we use gluten-free Tamari instead of wheat-based soy sauce).

• Is this class hands-on or demonstration style?

  This is a fully hands-on class. Everyone will be actively cooking in small groups and practicing each technique step-by-step.

• What if I have food allergies?

  Ingredients may vary. Please contact us before booking to confirm specific allergies so we can advise appropriately.

• Will I receive recipes after the class?

  Yes. You’ll receive a recipe guide via email after the class so you can recreate the dishes at home with confidence.

• Can this class be vegan?

  This class is not suitable for a vegan option. The menu focuses on traditional Japanese breakfast dishes, including salmon and eggs, and you’ll be learning how to make dashi-maki tamago (Japanese rolled omelet).

• Will I get to eat what we make?

  Yes! After cooking, we’ll sit down and enjoy the full Japanese breakfast together.

• What makes this class different?

  This class focuses on authentic Japanese home cooking techniques—like making dashi from scratch—and using traditional fermented seasonings like koji to build natural flavor without additives.

• Is the cooking class wheelchair accessible?

  Yes! The cooking class facility is ADA accessible, and guests using wheelchairs are welcome to attend. If you have any specific accessibility needs or questions before booking, please feel free to contact us. We’re happy to help make your experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
