Reiko Hashimoto-Lambert has been teaching people the joys and pleasures of Japanese cooking in England over ten years. Prior to this she taught Japanese cooking to the foreign community in Tokyo. She has travelled extensively for the last 25 years, learning various food cultures internationally. Food is her passion.

Reiko runs various courses such as the very popular “ Sushi & Sashimi Class “, as well as other Japanese Cooking Courses for absolute beginners, the more advanced level and the sophisticated gourmet chefs amongst you. Please take your time to explore the courses she offers.

Reiko has been invited to cook as a guest chef on national television a number of times in the past and has imparted some of her knowledge of Japanese cooking and its techniques to viewers. Whilst she carries out publicity work – TV, magazine & newspaper, she remains focused on her own business of teaching and catering. She teaches people in private or groups and catering dinner parties thereby introducing people in the UK to the real enjoyment of Japanese Food and her ultimate goal is for her knowledge and experience in this domain to contribute to everyone’s understanding and appreciation of Japan’s culinary heritage.

“ What I’d like to achieve is to introduce Japanese food in an easy and simple way and most importantly, to introduce more appealing flavours using simple ingredients that people already have easy access to. For many, preparing Japanese food is a daunting experience and my aim is to show how easily and cheaply it can be done”.
