Japanese Cuisine

Learn how to cook classic Japanese dishes on a culinary journey across Japan with Andrew Kojima (also known as Chef Koj), the award-winning British-Japanese chef, Master chef finalist and author of No Sushi.

You'll be cooking delicious Ramen noodle dishes, Tonkatsu and Japanese rice, miso soup, making perfect Gyoza dumplings, Okonomiyaki (Japanese pancakes) and Yakitori grilled skewers; these are dishes you will want to cook again and again.

You'll notice this isn't a sushi making class - did you know that less than 10% of restaurants in Japan serve sushi?

Chef Koj will introduce you to some of Japan’s most iconic foods, taking you on a journey from East to West Japan. He will present each dish in the context of its history and inspire you to continue its evolution in your own kitchen, as you immerse yourself in Japanese culture.

Koj will teach you how to cook with Japanese ingredients, and you'll be inspired to put your own spin on his staple dishes.

This Japanese cookery course features everything you’ll need to master authentic Japanese dishes at home.
