Cherry blossom season is around the corner. In Japanese culture, people take the fleeting beauty of those blooming trees as a reminder that life is short. So here is your reminder to not let life pass you by. Don’t wait till you can travel halfway across the world to get a taste of Japanese cuisine, get it now!

During this food club you’ll be teamed up with a fellow student from Japan or who’s enthusiastic about Japanese cuisine, who is more than happy to share their favourite recipes and food customs with you. Because there’s so much more to Japanese cuisine than just sushi! With their help, you’ll learn how to make simple vegetarian dishes that will taste incredible. Whether you’re a pro in the kitchen or simply happy to lend a hand, everyone’s welcome. We’ll provide all the ingredients and equipment.

Once the cooking is done, we’ll gather around the table to taste different dishes and get to know each other. Feeling awkward using chopsticks? No worries, there will be a real live tutorial to help you master the technique and learn the do’s and don’ts.

3:45-4PM welcome
4-6PM cooking workshop
6-7PM enjoying the food

Don’t want to cook and still have a taste? Feel free to swing by around 18:00. But remember: first come, first serve!

Cooking up tasty and beautiful dishes is an artform! Each Food Club has a unique theme, where you and your fellow students can unleash your creativity in the kitchen. Whether baking or cooking, you’ll pick up new skills, and afterwards we’ll all sit down to enjoy the delicious results and good vibes.
