Live private Japanese cooking classes with award-winning chef Joe Kimura
Learn ramen, sushi, wagashi, udon, tenpura, washoku and more from your own kitchen, guided live by Joe Kimura.
These are private online classes, not pre-recorded videos, not group webinars, and not taught by a hobby cook.
A private chef experience, delivered online
Kimura’s Kitchen online classes are designed for people who want a real cooking experience at home, with direct guidance from an experienced professional chef.
You cook live with Joe, ask questions as you go, and receive personal guidance throughout the session.
Classes are held in English. French may be available upon request.
Not just another online cooking class
This is a live, one-to-one experience with an award-winning chef specialising in Japanese cuisine.
Joe Kimura has trained and worked in professional kitchens in Japan, London and Europe, with experience across sushi, ramen, robata, pastry and traditional Japanese cooking.
You are not following a generic video. You are being guided personally, step by step, by a chef who understands technique, timing and detail.
