5 Best Online Japanese Cooking Classes for Vegans

Today more and more people, especially young people, are opting for a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle to respect the lives of animals and the environment. This in turn is causing more and more companies and businesses to offer vegan options for these consumers, so there is much more variety and options than a few years ago. And that also allows you to make more dishes.

Some countries already have various dishes suitable for vegans in their gastronomy, but other countries don’t have many vegan recipes. So the vegan people of each country are using their imagination and culinary skills to create vegan versions of some of the typical dishes of that country. They are also opening more and more vegan restaurants. So now when you travel it is possible to try typical dishes from different countries suitable for vegans, including typical Japanese dishes!

Now there are many online options, such as online cooking classes. This is the case for example of Airkitchen, a website that presents countless cooking classes in different cities of Japan.

Usually local hosts invite you to their home for an original experience and discover authentic Japanese home cooking. But nowadays some hosts have started in the world of online cooking classes. And there are also vegan and vegetarian options 🙂

There are several types of online class and dishes. Here I’m going to show you the best online Japanese cooking classes for vegans currently available. Learn vegan Japanese cuisine from home!

I started to like Japan because of the anime, music and doramas, but after my first trip to the country I found what I love the most: traveling around, the culture and history. I have travelled a lot in Japan, but I still have many places to discover that I want to share with you🙋🏼‍♀️ Let’s discover Japan together!

 

Also, as a foreigner living in Japan for over 6 years I understand what kind of things are difficult when you move here and I want to help other people in the same situation that I have in the past.
