HARU Cooking Class -Kyoto-
-Learn traditional Japanese home cooking from a local family-

Hello,
I am Taro and I have been running Haru Cooking Class since 2010.
The cooking class takes place in my home in Kyoto, Japan.
I enjoy meeting people who are interested in Japanese food & culture.

I am an ordinary home cook; my classes are not fancy or touristy.
However, I do my best to keep the classes informative, insightful
and honest. In the end, I want more people to understand Japanese food
and Japanese people. I sincerely hope we share the same passion!

TIPS for choosing from the two courses:
1. Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian guests are seated together, will
cook together and eat together.
2. The difference between Non-vegetarian and Vegetarian courses:
Non-vegetarian includes an additional dish (wagyu, priced at 2,000yen),
compared to the Vegetarian course.
