This is not just a cooking class — it’s a cultural conversation through food, led by a Japanese language teacher.
Hosted in Sakai, Japan’s legendary knife-making city, this experience blends hands-on cooking, traditional tools, and Japanese hospitality in one intimate setting. You'll use expertly sharpened knives to prepare a full meal while learning the “why” behind each step — from cutting techniques to ingredient symbolism.
What sets this experience apart is the perspective of your host: Sensei Junya is not only a cook, but a teacher who has taught Japanese abroad. He guides you with care, not just through recipes, but through the deeper meanings of Japanese home cooking, language, and values.
It’s a warm, authentic introduction to Japan — with a sharpened blade and an open heart.
