JCI is a school for international students. 
You can learn all the lessons and activities in English. 
*Please ask for Chinese and other languages.

Many lessons take place at our affiliated restaurants in addition to the school kitchen.
You can get hands-on training with professional cooking utensils, which can only be experienced in real restaurants.

So many practical lessons are included in the courses so that you can learn advanced and reliable techniques in a short period of time. 
For example, when learning how to cut various types of fish, each student can experience handling an overwhelming number of fish.

We believe that it is important to learn Japanese cuisine deeply from the close relationship with its culture as well as cooking techniques.
In order to deepen your understanding of the entire Japanese cuisine world, we offer various cultural experiences and opportunities of learning traditional Japanese food ingredients in the program.

Our instructors are restaurant owners and active chefs who are currently working at restaurants.
You will experience useful special techniques and the passion that only a real chef can teach.

Our lessons are suitable for everyone at all levels, from a beginner to a professional chef who aims to open a restaurant. 
Please let us know what you expect to learn at JCI. We do our best to support you.
