Do you wanna cook Japanese soul food?

For the people who wants to know the basis of Japanese food,  dashi & umami, and rice.

When you visit Japan, you can eat Japanese food and see rice and miso-soup many times.


Rice and miso-soup are not only the basis of Japanese food, but also soul food for Japanese.

Most of the restaurant or cooking lesson, rice and miso-soup are normal foods so they serve you as a part of foods.

But I think that understanding about rice and miso-soup, you'll know about Japan, culture, enviroment, and history.

So, in my cooking class, you cook rice and miso-soup from the first, and taste some kinds of dashi & umami.



Dashi is Japanese soup-stock and basis of traditional Japanese cuisine, Washoku.

Washoku was registered as a UNESCO Intangible cultural heritage in 2013 and Washoku is a World-Class.

Understanding dashi means understanding Washoku and Japanese culture, history and umami. 

Dashi is made by with all natural ingredients.  

Especialy for Washoku, we use dried ingredients such as Katsuobushi (dried Bonito), Kombu( a kind of seaweed), Niboshi(boiled and dried seafood) and Hoshi-Shiitake(dried Japanese mushroom).

You can make dashi very easily with these dashi-ingredients, because there are so many skills of craftsmen to make and wisdom of Japanese.

Let's make dashi and Japanese food by yourself and feel more Japan!!

I have lived in Kyoto, Tokyo, Hokkaido, Gifu, Fukuoka, and Tokushima.

It was the foundation of my love of cooking.

The Voice of Guest

From the production of the raw ingredients to the preparation in the kitchen. There is even more to dashi than I imagined.

Dashi Kitchen ZEN really knows her subject.

Aki san passion is dashi. She has been to furthest coasts of Japan to learn about its production from Hokkaido konbu to Shizuoka kasuobushi.

We had a wonderful time with with Aki san. She was an enthusiastic advocate for Japanese dashi culture. We learned to prepare dashi and used it to make our own miso soup. I could really taste the difference that fine ingredients and a confident cook make (I've since been complimented on my soup).

Aki san has a wealth of knowledge and was pleased to answer all our questions.

Dashi Kitchen ZEN is more than just a cooking class.  (Emma Parsons)
