HARU Cooking Class -Kyoto-
-Learn traditional Japanese home cooking from a local family-
Hello, I am Taro.
I started Haru Cooking Class in 2010.
The class takes place in my house in Kyoto, Japan.
Please accept my apologies that what I do is not fancy or touristy;
I am an ordinary home cook. However, I try my best to keep
the classes informative and insightful.
I aim to highlight the non-commercial aspects of Japanese culture,
lifestyle and it's people. Food is my way of communication.
I sincerely hope we share the same passion!

simmered in dashi topped with sweetened miso.
You will learn the essentials of Japanese home cooking.
Will cook 4 dishes with the ingredients & methods explained.
With an exception of fish flakes in the stock,
everything else is vegetarian friendly.
The course is about understanding the vegetables used in
Japanese cooking. It is not about vegetarian diet, which is
extremely uncommon in Japan.
TIPS for choosing courses:
1. All vegetarian and non-vegetarian guests are seated together,
cook together and eat together.
2. The only difference between the two courses:
Non-vegetarian includes an additional dish (wagyu, 2,000yen),
compared to the Vegetarian course.
