🍳 Japanese Cuisine × Foreign Cuisine Class
The "Fusion" Experience: Unlock the Potential of Your Kitchen with Dashi
📅 Monthly Theme (Jan / Feb): OKONOMIYAKI
"Okonomi" means "As you like it." "Yaki" means "Grilled."
This isn't just a Japanese pancake. It is a canvas for your creativity. In this class, we use the Japanese "Dashi" technique to transform your local ingredients into an Umami explosion.
🧬 Choose Your "Fusion Style"
-
🔰 Style A: Harmony (Basic Fusion)
- Concept: We keep the traditional Japanese batter and Dashi base, but play with toppings and sauces.
- For Whom: Beginners, those who want a guaranteed delicious result, and authentic Japanese flavor lovers.
- The Taste: The comfort of traditional Japan meets the excitement of your favorite local flavors.
-
🧪 Style B: Remix (Deep Fusion)
- Concept: A bold experiment. Change the flour? Swap the sauce for stew? We restructure the dish itself.
- For Whom: Cooking lovers, adventurous eaters, or those with dietary needs (e.g., Gluten-Free, Vegan).
- The Taste: A new dish that no one has ever tasted before. It’s created by YOU.

The Value We Provide
The Problem
I learned *that* Dashi is important. But I don't know *why* or *when* to use which Dashi. I'm missing the "rules" for applying it to my daily meals.
The Solution
This isn't a class; it's a 90-minute session customized 100% for you. We don't use a textbook. We start with *your* goal (e.g., "Make my pasta better") and design the entire lesson around it.
The Guarantee
The "Perfect Fit" Guarantee: We are so confident we can help you, we offer an **optional 30-minute FREE pre-meeting**. If we both feel it's not a perfect fit after that chat, we will cancel and refund you instantly.
