<UMAMI of JAPAN; Mastering Japanese Home Cooking and Culture>
Whether you are new to Japan or not….
What are some of the things you wish to acquire during your time in Japan?
・The Japanese language?
・Knowledge of Japanese values and the way of thinking so that you can come to understand your Japanese colleagues in your office or friends?
・Knowledge of Japanese history, culture, customs, and wabi-sabi (Japanese aesthetic values) ・Knowledge of Japanese history, culture, customs, and wabi-sabi (Japanese aesthetic values)?
・Or simply how to cook healthy Japanese home cooking?
Well if this sounds like you, this is exactly what you are looking for!

This is a “one-and-only” cooking class where not only will you learn to cook healthy “umami-ful” Japanese home cooking but you will also learn so much about our customs, rituals, and traditions through our monthly themes. Because each class is highly informative, it will help you understand our core values and our way of thinking to make your life in Japan a more meaningful, memorable experience for you.　Just be amazed by how our ancestors defined every little detail with such special meaning behind it!

<What Will You Learn?>
These monthly classes focuses on each month’s theme of a Japanese event or celebration, with a full explanation of its history and customs, followed by a Japanese home cooking lesson of a full set menu (rice dish, soup, 1 main dish, and 1 to 2 side dishes) that is related to the event or food in season. Most of the dishes, which are all full of UMAMI, are something we eat regularly at home, and are probably something you’ve eaten before and always wished you knew how to prepare them. (ie savory egg custard, rolled omelet, rolled sushi etc)

<How to Start>
YES! you can start from any time of the year and
YES! you can also come in only the months that interest you.
BUT! you’d probably end up taking them all because there is always so much you can learn!

By the time you finish all 12, not only you will be an total expert on Japanese food, culture, and people, but learning about our different food ingredients will definitely make your trips to local supermarkets a much happier routine for you!

So come and join the fun!
