Dear guests,
Hello, I am Taro the owner of Haru Cooking Class -Kyoto-.
You can learn a lot about Japanese culture by learning about Japanese food.
Food plays a big role in our culture.
In Haru Cooking Class -Kyoto-, you will cook Japanese home dishes.
I am not a chef by profession. Just an ordinary home cook.
I.cannot teach fancy dishes.
However, I do my best to show and explain what Japanese people eat normally.
I thank everybody who come all the way to Japan.
I wish for my guests to finish the class with a deeper understanding of Japan and Japanese people,
not only Japanese food.
