What's new?

We started a 'support a chef & get a free life-long membership for yourself' plan!

Since the start of our academy, we learned that the young chefs in many countries are living off almost minimum wage.

These young chefs contacted us with the hope that the education would help them get a better job and a better life.

With our mission of giving a high-quality educational opportunity to everybody passionate about Japanese cuisine, we sought the way to help these young chefs.

But now, because of the COVID-19 crisis, there is no time to wait and we must act now.

Please check our 'support a chef & get a free membership for yourself' plan.

We don't hide master chef's secrets

In our academy, you will find the hidden secrets of master chef's real techniques that you would find it anywhere else.

To become a master chef, they spent years of training and practice to acquire real techniques of Japanese cuisine. And master chefs usually don't want to share it with other chefs because it is their top-secret.

The chef mentors of our academy, however, decided to share these secrets openly with talented chefs & food professionals across the world because we believe that it is important to educate the next generation of Japanese culinary talents world-wide.

You will have life-long access to the high quality visual-rich materials
