What better way to experience Japanese cooking than to learn it yourself in the comfort of a Japanese home or studio? With cooking classes ranging from sushi to making bentos to vegan ramen and gyoza , there are numerous options around Japan for the home cook of all levels. Whether you’re looking to learn Japanese cuisine as a hobby, pursue it as a career or make your favorite dishes from the supermarket okazu (small dishes) selection at home, here are five classes you can do around Japan. Are you looking to learn Japanese cuisine in a cozy environment and bring home some mad new skills? Cooking School Yuka Mazda is for you.
Yuka’s cooking classes are for those who are interested in learning Japanese cooking in a Japanese home. There are classes ranging from sushi-making, where she will go through the basics of making sushi rice and ensuring the fish is prepared just right to have that perfect nigiri (hand-pressed sushi). For fans of gyudon (beef bowls) from Yoshinoya and Matsuya, there are also gyudon and gyoza (potsticker) classes, and you can also learn how to whip up your own ramen (soup noodles) from scratch starting from the broth.
All classes are in English and will run for around four hours, including digging into the meal together. You can reserve online through the website or reach out via email.

japanese-cooking.jp Ever had a bento and think I would love to recreate that, but not knowing where to start? Cooking Sun’s most popular class is about making that perfect bento you see in anime and dramas. The great thing about learning how to make a bento are the various dishes you can make at once, as each bento usually has a few side dishes.
Each of their classes takes on a common concept, taking favorites and recreating these popular dishes in a home environment to make it easier for the home cook. With cooking studios in Kyoto, Tokyo and Osaka, it’s a convenient place to drop by, and vegetarian cooks are also highly welcomed with a separate vegetarian menu for those who require it. If you aren’t based in Japan but want a fun group activity, opt for their online classes.
Classes vary depending on which studio you are at, so book according to the theme you are interested in, or perhaps take them up on a Kyoto food tour before cooking what you pick up in the market for the full experience.
