JAPANESE IZAKAYA COOKING CLASS

Learn to cook healthy, flavourful Izakaya dishes that are perfect for sharing in this fun, hands-on workshop.

Izakayas are Japan’s casual pubs, where people relax with a drink and graze on lots of small, tasty plates. There are no formalities, just great food, good company and a lively atmosphere. In this class, you’ll discover that laid-back side of Japanese cuisine and learn to make Izakaya favourites like Agedashi Tofu. You’ll pick up practical tips and techniques for healthy Japanese cooking, and learn how to use Japanese ingredients for both flavour and wellbeing.
