Online Cooking Trial Class

The Value We Provide

The Problem

You follow the recipes. You buy the ingredients. But your Japanese dishes at home never have that deep, satisfying "Wow!" flavor you get at a restaurant. You're missing the soul of the dish: authentic UMAMI. The good news? It's not your fault. You just haven't been shown the secret.

The Solution

Our goal is simple. In one hour, we will give you the "Aha!" moment that changes your cooking forever. We will cook two simple egg soups side-by-side:
**Soup A (The "Before"):** Made with plain water + seasonings.
**Soup B (The "After"):** Made with authentic Dashi + seasonings.
You will taste them. You will experience the **"Dashi Shock"**—the astonishing, profound difference. And you will never want to cook without Dashi again.

The Guarantee

We are so confident this $10 trial will change your life that we make you two promises:
**The Satisfaction Guarantee:** If you don't say "Wow!" and feel you learned nothing, we will refund your $10 in full. No questions asked.
**The Results Guarantee:** If you still don't feel the difference, we will re-book you for another session, absolutely free.
You have literally nothing to lose, and a lifetime of incredible flavor to gain.

What You'll Need

Lesson Flow

**0-10 Min: Welcome & The "Why"**
Meet the brothers and fellow food lovers. We'll explain the science of Dashi and our mission.
**10-25 Min: Cook-Along (Soup A - The "Before")**
We'll cook a simple egg soup together using just water and seasonings. This is our "control" soup.
**25-45 Min: Cook-Along (Soup B - The "After")**
Now, we'll make real, authentic Dashi from scratch and cook the *exact same* soup. You will already smell the difference.
**45-60 Min: The "Dashi Shock" & Q&A**
Taste both soups side-by-side. This is the "Aha!" moment. We'll discuss the taste and answer all your questions about Dashi, cooking, and Japanese culture.

Need Ingredients

Eggs: 2
Water: 500ml
Katsuobushi (Bonito Flakes): 10-12g
Note: Find this at Japanese or Asian supermarkets, or online. Look for the pre-shaved flakes in bags.
Usukuchi Shoyu (Light-Colored Soy Sauce): 1 tsp
Note: This thin, aromatic soy sauce preserves the beautiful color of the dashi. If unavailable, you can substitute with regular soy sauce (like Kikkoman's standard type), but the soup's color will be darker.
Salt: A pinch

Need Cookware

2 Medium-sized Pots
1 Bowl
Strainer or Sieve
Paper towel or a clean kitchen cloth (for straining the dashi)
Cooking chopsticks (or a fork/whisk)
Ladle
Measuring spoons and cup
2 Soup bowls (for the final tasting)

Need Other

Katakuriko (Potato Starch): 1/2 tsp
Note: Used to slightly thicken the soup. Cornstarch is a perfect substitute.
Garnish of your choice:
Suggestions: Chopped green onions (scallions) are highly recommended. Mitsuba (a Japanese herb) is traditional; if you can't find it, Italian parsley or cilantro offer a delicious, though different, alternative.
