🍣✨ Japanese Cuisine Cooking Classes in Singapore You’ll Actually Enjoy 🍱👩🍳
If you live in Singapore (or plan to stay for a while), there’s a tasty reason to wear an apron. Tired of take-out? Want to cook meals your kids might finally eat without a protest? Our Japanese Cuisine Cooking Classes in Singapore are not only beginner-friendly but fun, engaging, and perfect for parents looking for a break from their usual kitchen routine.
Here’s what’s cooking – literally – at our professional kitchen studio. Let’s walk through the six classes you can join, each with its own tasty twist.
1. Japanese Home Cooking – Yakitori and Yakisoba
Let’s start with skewers and stir-fried noodles. If grilling makes you feel powerful, this one’s for you.
In this class, you’ll learn how to prepare Yakitori — juicy skewers of chicken and leek, pork belly and asparagus, and minced meatballs called tsukune. The sauce? Secret recipe. The vibe? Smoky and satisfying. You’ll also whip up Yakisoba, which isn’t just a mouthful to say. It’s Japan’s answer to comfort food: stir-fried noodles with meat, cabbage, carrots, and a garnish of red pickled ginger.
Expect to use your hands. Expect the smells to make you hungry. And expect to leave proud of your new go-to meal for Friday nights.
Better yet, your kids might even eat the vegetables.
2. Vegetarian Donburi Rice Bowls That Aren’t Sad
Rice bowls. It’s so simple yet so underrated. This class focuses on vegetarian donburi, which is perfect for anyone cutting back on meat or just bored with chicken.
The first dish, Soy-Glazed Eggplant Donburi, turns humble eggplant into a savory main course. Yes, eggplant. No complaints. Then comes Japanese Curry Rice. We’ll teach you to make it from scratch. No boxes, no powders — just real flavor from fresh ingredients.
You don’t need to be a vegetarian to enjoy this one. You just need to appreciate a hearty, one-bowl meal that doesn’t require five side dishes.
Bonus: no one will notice you skipped meat.
3. Chawanmushi, Garlic Fried Rice, and More
You’ve seen it on menus. Now you’ll know how to pronounce it — and make it. Chawanmushi, Japan’s steamed egg custard, looks fancy but is surprisingly simple to prepare.
This class also covers Shogayaki pork, a ginger-packed stir-fry that smells like comfort and tastes like dinner. You’ll balance that with garlic fried rice, which may become your new “I don’t know what to cook tonight” meal.
Tofu gets its moment, too. With Agedashi Tofu, you’ll fry it, serve it hot, and drench it in broth.
There’s no stress here — just solid dishes you can recreate without needing to Google everything twice.
4. Ramen From Scratch (It’s Worth It)
Instant noodles have met their match. You’ll never look at the cup version the same again after this class.
Start with fresh ramen noodles, rolled and cut by hand. Then choose between shoyu (soy sauce-based) and miso ramen broth — or make both. Each one simmers with layers of flavor and smells like heaven.
You’ll also braise pork for Japanese Char Siu, a rich, tender topping that takes time but is worth every minute. And let’s not forget ramen eggs — soft-boiled, marinated, and dangerously addictive.
This class takes four hours. But ask anyone who’s taken it, and they’ll tell you the time flies — except when you’re waiting for that pork to finish simmering.
5. Gyoza: The Folding Olympics
If dumplings are your love language, you’ll enjoy this one.
We’ll start with the filling: seasoned minced pork that’s packed with flavor. Then comes the gyoza skin, which you’ll make and roll yourself. The folding part? That’s where the fun begins. It’s harder than it looks, but once you get it, you’ll never stop folding.
The class also includes Ponzu sauce, that bright, citrusy dip that pairs perfectly with your golden, pan-fried dumplings.
By the end, you’ll be craving a dipping sauce contest. Who knew folding meat into dough could be so satisfying?
6. Cooking for Kids (That Adults Secretly Love Too)
Don’t worry, this one isn’t just for the little ones. It’s for any adult who wants to learn dishes that make kids smile — and eat without being bribed.
Start with Takoyaki, the famous octopus-filled balls you’ve probably seen at Japanese street food stalls. Don’t like octopuses? We’ve got alternatives. Next is Zosui, a rice soup that’s gentle, warm, and comforting.
Last is Hambugu, a Japanese-style hamburger steak that somehow tastes fancier than the Western version. Serve it with rice, and you’ve got a full meal. Kids will finish without fuss.
It’s fun, hands-on, and, best of all, you’ll finally win dinnertime.
So… What’s Cooking Next?
Every class runs in a professional kitchen studio in Singapore, designed for comfort, learning, and the occasional food photo (we won’t judge). All ingredients are provided. No need to bring knives, aprons, or lucky spatulas.
If you’re a parent looking for a change in routine — or just someone who enjoys Japanese food beyond what delivery apps offer — these classes offer a delicious escape.
Some come alone. Some bring friends. A few bring their partners. But everyone leaves with full stomachs and useful skills.
And if you’ve never taken a cooking class before? That’s even better. We welcome beginners, hobbyists, and people who burn toast. You’ll fit right in.
