The first Japanese meal we ate upon returning to Japan from overseas. The moment we took that first bite, we were enveloped in an emotion so profound it couldn't be put into words. It was a sensation that went beyond just "delicious" – a feeling that stirred our very souls. We knew then that we wanted to share this deep appreciation we felt for Japanese food with people all over the world. We both have experience studying abroad. While living overseas, we became strongly aware of our identity as Japanese. Whenever local friends asked us about Japan, we enthusiastically talked about Japanese culture, history, and, of course, Japanese food.However, we keenly felt the difficulty of conveying the true appeal of Japanese food through words alone. For example, the delicate flavor of dashi, the deep, complex richness (koku) of miso and soy sauce, the multitude of dishes that make the most of seasonal ingredients... Their true wonder can only be understood by actually tasting them.In our cooking classes, we aim to do more than just teach recipes. We want to convey:The culture and history behind Japanese food,A sense of gratitude towards ingredients,And the pure joy of cooking itself.Through Japanese food, we aspire to communicate the richness of Japanese culture and the spirit of the Japanese people to everyone around the globe.Our activities may only be a small step. But we truly believe that this step can enrich the dining tables of people worldwide and serve as a bridge connecting Japan and the world.Won't you join us in spreading the wonder of Japanese food to the world together?
