to comprehensively deepen one’s understanding.

: Kitchen training begins with the basics of cooking, such as how to hold a knife, the various knife cuts, and fundamental cooking techniques. Students learn to think about cooking holistically and refine their individual skills through preparation, cooking, plating, and finishing complete dishes. Practical training in groups also provides students opportunities to grow as leaders -- coordinating members and delegating tasks in the kitchen. With abundant practical training, students start their time at Tsuji Culinary Institute Group by acquiring the basic skills of each cuisine.

: Thorough training establishes fundamental kitchen skills, and through the process, students learn to answer the food industry’s larger questions: How does “cuisine” evolve? How do we balance nutrition with the flavor characteristics of a given cuisine? How does cooking help us lead a healthy life? How do we ensure food safety? From diet and health, to food culture, food safety and hygiene, students of the Tsuji Culinary Institute group engage in the academics of gastronomy, a vital aspect of growing professional leaders in the food industry.
