Cooking Courses

For residents in Japan,
Experience the Japanese language and culture through cooking!

JJ Kitchen in Tokyo provides Japanese cooking lessons with a laid back feeling, as if you are preparing a home party! We welcome you to enjoy cooking while chatting with others, even with a drink in one hand!

You will be able to make your favorite Izakaya menu & seasonal dishes that are unique to Japan.
The menu changes every season. Along with recipes of classic dishes, I will also introduce modern recipes reflecting the recent trends in Japan. My recipes and preparation processes are based on traditional Japanese cuisine with the occasional touch of modern fusion and international gastronomy thrown in.
Your requests are also welcome!

All lessons will be given in English and Japanese.
Not confident in communicating in Japanese? No worries! That is what these lessons are for! Our bilingual instructors with overseas experience will explain to you in English. Let's enjoy!

CLASS DETAILS
  • Small group with a cozy atmosphere
    Sharing information is important so we have active communication among the participants and instructors. Meet new friends here at JJ Kitchen!

    JJ Kitchen will teach you not only basic Japanese dishes but also traditional dishes that are eaten at seasonal events, introducing you to the unique food culture rooted deeply in the Japanese spirit and climate.

    There are Japanese students attending the classes as well. Please feel free to use our lessons as a place to practice the Japanese words that you know!

    You can reschedule your lessons to another date if you can’t make it to the booked date.
  • Activities
    JJ Kitchen organizes fun events such as picnics or ‘Hanami (cherry blossoms viewing)’ where you make your own lunch box and take it with you! We will also hold home parties. Your network in Tokyo will expand through our cooking lessons!
