Tsuji Cooking Academy

TSUJI ACADEMY

Our College originated in the Headquarters of the Japan Kappo Cooking Seminar, established in 1917. In 1959, the current College was opened and accredited by the Minister of Public Welfare. Its aim was to develop superior specialized instruction manuals and thus pursue new cooking techniques and theories while respecting the traditional good taste of Osaka, The year 1959, therefore, marks the establishment of Osaka Nakanoshima Tsuji Japan Professional Cooking Academy, the largest professional cooking educational organization providing instruction in professional techniques and cooking knowledge.
Since its founding, our College has continuously expanded its facilities to include the latest equipment and apparatuses, while upgrading and expanding the range of classes to meet the requirements of an ever growing industry. Moreover, first-class chefs and language instructors have been invited to offer specialized cooking instruction at the world’s highest level.
Leading to today, these activities have greatly contributed to the culinary industry and expanded the network as the Cooking Academy.
