What if I cancel on the day of the class?
We don’t like to say no, but we are simply not able to offer credit for last-minute illnesses or scheduling conflicts. Our classes are in very small groups and we refuse bookings beyond 6 participants. So, if you cancel on the day of the class, we cannot find a replacement therefore 100% of the fee will be requested.
What happens if not enough people sign up to meet the minimum guest?
If the class you booked does not get minimum capacity, we'll notify you within 48 hours in advance of the class date that we have to cancel your class. In this case, you will get full refund.

Hello Everyone,

After 2 and a half years after Junko’s stroke, we will gradually be opening our doors to JJ Kitchen again.
However, as Junko is still recovering, we will be changing our methods a bit.

For the time being, we will only be accepting PRIVATE CLASSES (when we are available, and will not be holding our regular cooking classes, membership classes nor kids cooking classes (children can participate in the private lessons with the adults).

Please contact us if you are interested in taking a private class from us.
If there are dishes that you would like to make, please let us know and we can discuss the possibilities.

We hope our new style will be as enjoyable as before!
