Junko Otake

Hello, I’m Grandma Junko! I was born and raised in Nagoya, and cooking has always been a passion of mine. Over the years, I’ve learned many traditional Japanese recipes from my mother and mother-in-law, and I’ve also studied at cooking school to deepen my knowledge.

I hold a cooking license, am a Confectionery Hygiene Master, and a certified Vegetable Sommelier. About 50 years ago, I opened a natural food shop, and in 2002, I began teaching healthy dessert and natural yeast bread cooking classes.

Now, I’m excited to share my love for Japanese food and cooking with you, guiding you through the preparation of authentic dishes while sharing the health benefits of washoku (japanese cuisine) and traditional ingredients.

Had a wonderful time learning traditional Japanese cooking. Junko and her team were organized and very kind instructors. I learned some new skills and am excited to try the new recipes when I go home. Such a positive experience!

Thank you again for a wonderful cooking lesson.
I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent learning with you. It really is the highlight of my trip. I am thankful my friend found the class and suggested I take it.
I bought a square omelet pan last week and will be taking it home with me! I am looking forward to recreating the dishes for my friends and family.

I had a wonderful time cooking with you two, and I would have loved to have taken a baking class with you too.
I look forward to recreating these meals at home.
