Chef Shinya explains every detail of preparing tonkatsu, including how to select the right pork, how to prepare the cut, and how to best enjoy it. You will also learn to make a simple salad, seaweed soup, and seasoned steamed rice.

Chef Shinya was so welcoming into his home. We were two families with three teenagers and we had a blast. The experience felt like a hands-on science class, in a good way. Learning to cook the perfect soft boiled egg has changed my life! Next time I would not do it on a school night, it got a bit late - but worth it! My family is traveling to Japan over spring break and we got some amazing tips.

Our evening with Chef Shinya was wonderful. Chef is great at storytelling and we had plenty of laughs through the night. Chef taught us great fundamentals to cooking and techniques to make delicious food. I'm excited to use all that I learned.
