Instructor
In January 2017, I started a Japanese cooking class for foreign visitors to Japan, Sakura Cook studio in Osaka, where I have been working as the owner and chief instructor. At the same time, I ran a Japanese restaurant and worked as the owner-chef for about two years. In December 2018, I moved my studio to a new location and am currently focusing on cooking classes.
The feature of this cooking class is to introduce Japanese food, a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage, as a part of Japanese culture to foreigners. Lessons are held in English or Chinese, and provide a place to learn not only cooking techniques, but also knowledge of basis for Japanese foods such as DASHI (Japanese broth) and other ingredients that are difficult for foreigners to understand.
Every year the number of participants increases having many repeaters and chefs, the curriculum covers a wide range of students from beginners who want to enjoy it as a travel activity to professionals.
From 2020, the service has been expanded to online lessons and a recipe download site in addition to the studio lessons.
2017年1月に訪日外国人向け日本料理教室Sakura Cookを大阪のスタジオで開設し、オーナー兼チーフインストラクターとして活動しています。並行して約2年間、和食レストランを運営し、オーナーシェフとしても活動していました。2018年12月にスタジオを移転し現在は料理教室に専念しています。
この料理教室の特徴は、ユネスコ無形文化遺産である「和食」を日本の文化として外国人に伝えることにあります。授業は英語や中国語で行われ、料理のテクニックのみならず外国人には理解しづらい出汁や調味料の知識など、学びの場を提供しています。
年々受講者は増え、リピーターやシェフの参加も多く、旅行のアクティビティとして楽しみたい初級者からプロフェッショナルまで、幅広い受講者をカバーするカリキュラムを提供しています。
2020年からサービスを拡大し、スタジオのレッスンに加えて、オンラインレッスンやレシピのダウンロードサイトを運営しています。
