Salmon Cooking Class

| What Can I learn?


You will learn scrumptious salmon Teppan-Yaki from Hokkaido, called CHAN-CHAN YAKI. In Hokkaido, the dish is typically prepared on special occasions, such as outdoor BBQ party, family reunion, camping, so if you are looking for a new recipe for such occasions, this lesson would be perfect! Preparation of Chan-Chan Yaki is not difficult, so there's no need to worry about, even if your are a beginner at Japanese cooking. 

| What is Chan-Chan Yaki?


Chan-Chan Yaki is a Teppan-Yaki dish with a huge fillet of salmon cooked along with various  vegetables and MISO-BUTTER sauce.  Salmon has long played such an important role in Hokkaido's culinary history (regarded as a gift from gods among Ainu people) and used for varieties of local dishes. Chan-Chan-Yaki was also officially chosen by the MAFF (the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries) as one of the most important dishes that represents Hokkaido's culinary culture.  So, that means by enjoying Chan-Chan-Yaki, you are enjoying the culture itself!

Takafumi Bote

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!!
