Japanese Cooking class in Auckland, Ellerslie

Incorporating New Zealand ingredients into Japanese cuisine based on the concept of “Home Cooking” enhances the depth of flavor and aroma by utilizing the umami of dashi broth.
By focusing on the visual appeal of the ingredients’ colors, shapes, and presentation in traditional Japanese tableware, one can enter a state of mindfulness. To begin the lesson, we recommend savoring Japanese tea slowly, which helps alleviate tension and stress, creating a relaxed state. We introduce familiar dishes such as Sushi, Fried chicken, Ramen, commonly enjoyed by Japanese individuals, catering to those who are not accustomed to Japanese cuisine.

Naomi Suga (Auckland, Ellerslie)
In 2015, with zero English skills and a one-year-old child, I moved to New Zealand as a single mother. Stepping into a completely new environment with a different language and culture, I dedicated two years to learning English before enrolling in a local culinary school. There, I built a strong foundation in cooking and completed 600 hours of internship, marking the beginning of my career as a chef.
Through diverse experiences in cafés, restaurants, and five-star hotels, I have honed my skills and adaptability, always seeking new challenges to grow further. My passion lies in pushing my own limits and expanding possibilities in the world of culinary arts.
