The Japanese Oishi Cooking Class for Adults (ages 16 and above) will be held online from 5:30-6:30 p.m. central time on July 13, 20 and 27. The total cost is $100 for the series.

Students will learn basic vocabulary and expressions in Japanese as well as five methods of Japanese cooking while making dishes like dashi pickles, miso soup and matcha ice cream.

The Japanese Oishi Cooking Class for Youth (ages 11-15) will be held online from 11-11:45 a.m. central time on July 12, 19 and 26. The total cost is $75 for the series.

Students will learn basic vocabulary and expressions in Japanese while making dishes like an onigiri rice ball and characters for a Bento box. The youth class will not use a stove or oven during the class.

No previous study of Japanese language is needed for either class. Ingredients and kitchen equipment are not provided by the TLC. Students will need to purchase the ingredients in advance for each class. Menus and ingredient lists will be shared ahead of class. View more information or register.

Please note: Classes typically require at least three individuals to pay the full fee for online (four for in-person) classes before a fee waiver student may join, and classes are capped at 12 students. Classes without adequate enrollment are subject to closure or cancellation. If a class reaches capacity (12 students) and is closed to further enrollment, or is canceled due to insufficient enrollment, we will notify you with alternative class options.
