Save your time and money ($40 off) in this intensive workshop combining the Japanese Cooking Class (Beginner) and Japanese Izakaya Cooking Class.

Did you know most Japanese restaurants use lots of MSG in their cooking! These restaurants also don’t use traditional ingredients meaning the food loses taste and nutrition! But don’t worry. This class is MSG-free and we will use only traditional, high-quality Japanese ingredients to make our food yummy and healthy.
