Learn the art of delicate, lace-like tempura from Michelin two-star Chef Shuji Niitome. This 16 session, 2 hour video series takes you through Niitome’s own journey over three decades of scars, practice, and obsession to achieve the perfect preparation for every ingredient.

As part of his course, Chef Niitome guides you through the preparation of a 9-course seasonal omakase, that will have you frying up an assortment of seafood and vegetables to flavorful perfection.

Plus, Chef Niitome shares (also included in a downloadable PDF cooking guide) his batter recipe, which he’s been perfecting for 30+ years.

Chef Zaiyu Hasegawa, founder of the wildly innovative and acclaimed DEN restaurant (2 Michelin stars, awarded #1 Restaurant in Asia by World’s 50 Best 2022), demonstrates how to make his signature dishes, including: “Dentucky” fried chicken, farm-fresh salad, miso foie gras monaka wafer, and several seasonal varieties of donabe-pot rice.

Though Japanese cooking is known for difficult techniques and prescriptive methods, Hasegawa opens up the world of washoku with a sense of play, experimentation, and surprising updates for the modern palate.

At the center of DEN’s success are the daily makanai (staff meals), a canvas to explore new dishes and the heart of a larger community of diners, chefs, and food producers that make DEN such a special experience.
