Cooking Class Information

Vegan/Vegetarian & Gluten-Free Friendly Morning!

It can be challenging to find vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free breakfast options in Japanese cafes. This class was inspired by a guest's request to solve that very problem. Why not start your day with a healthy, mindful, and freshly cooked Japanese breakfast?

In this class, you will learn how to prepare a well-balanced, traditional Japanese breakfast using fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients. The dishes we create are everyday staples that you can easily recreate at home to elevate your daily meals.

Dietary Notes:
I am happy to customize the menu to meet your dietary needs. However, as this is a home kitchen, I cannot guarantee a 100% allergen-free environment. For your safety, please reconsider booking if you have severe allergies or strictly observant dietary requirements.

About Host

Yuka

All cooking classes by Yuka

I'm a cooking expert and instructor specializing in healthy Japanese cuisine, teaching in English.
from 2023 to 2025, I conducted cooking workshops in 10 countries in Oceania, Asia and Europe.

I usually host classes at home in the peaceful and cozy Oyamadai neighborhood, located just a 20-minute train ride from Shibuya, Tokyo.

In the class, I teach Japanese cooking skills and seasonal menus using fresh seasonal vegetables (mostly organic or pesticide-free), traditional Japanese seasonings and additive-free products.
I also focus on classes for people with dietary restrictions, such as vegans and gluten-free people, so that everyone can enjoy their meals together.

In the past, I had many dietary restrictions such as wheat, milk, eggs. I also supported foreign colleagues with food allergies and religious dietary needs.
During those times, When I traveled abroad, people were so nice and made sure I had something to eat. I'll never forget that, so I wanted to do the same for foreigners here in Japan.

Since then, I have studied various healthy cooking methods, including medicinal cuisine, macrobiotics, Shojin cuisine, and also explored gluten-free cooking. After that, I developed and supervised healthy menus at an organic cafe and a grocery store. Now, while teaching cooking, I am researching healthy cuisine that can be enjoyed by people of all backgrounds.

I am happy to arrange food according to your request, and looking forward to sharing our food culture with you.
