A beauty class where you can eat and become beautiful from the inside by Mr. Akiyasu Nishimura, a senior professional vegetable sommelier and cook. A total of 12 episodes in the series will be held once a month with a theme.
The theme for February is "metabolism up". Did you know that your basal metabolism is higher in winter? By increasing your metabolism during this time, you can stay healthy throughout the year.
This month, Mr. Nishimura, a senior professional vegetable sommelier, will teach you about "metabolism up".
A simple menu that is effective, cheap, and delicious, and a knowledgeable teacher will teach you well, so it's perfect for cooking beginners. It starts at 7:00 pm, so it's recommended for after work. Comes with a nice souvenir of vegetables (1-2 types) used in the classroom. (Scheduled to detox in March)

5.Fish handling class ~ Intermediate / February 19 (Sun)
A fish handling class was held by the Kyoto Fisheries Commercial Cooperative Association. It is a hands-on class where participants are handed a fish and have them cut it according to the instructions of the instructor.
The cut fish can be taken home and used separately for cooking or grilling. Even if it's been a long time since you've done fish handling, you can still participate, and I'm happy that there's time to review three pieces of grated fish. It is a very popular class where you can be taught carefully, and there is one instructor for every 3 or 4 people, so even if you are trying for the first time, you can rest assured.
