Teachers profile
Hi, this is Takafumi Bote. Call me Taka. I'm a cooking instructor, a YouTube chef and a former professional chef. I was born and raised in Asahikawa Hokkaido, one of the coldest cities in Japan. Ever since I was a teenager, I have loved cooking, learning about different cultures and meeting and communicating with people from all over the world. That actually led me to live abroad for many years and get knowledge about so many kinds of food. Then, after coming back to Japan, living an ordinary life, I started to feel that I wanted to do something exciting for people around the world, using my English and cooking skill. That feeling grew day by day, and year by year. Then, I finally came up with an idea of teaching Japanese cooking. The goal of my class is to "make you a better cook", so I always try to teach some professional tips using my knowledge as a former chef. Here on Washocook, I teach food from Hokkaido, which is my home island and a food capital that all Japanese people envy; we have best quality seafood, rich and delicious dairies, iconic Ramen, curry, fried chicken, lamb BBQ and the list goes on.... Are you already curious to find out? Then, I'll be waiting to see you in class!!
