About Kitchen Bee
Kitchen Bee is a kitchen studio in Asakusabashi, Tokyo, where visitors can experience Japanese home cooking and kitchen culture.
Together with Amidas Fermentation Academy, Kitchen Bee is operated by Sayuri Umemura, Representative Director of Amidas Inc.
It is a place for food, learning, and hands-on cultural experiences.
Centered on fermented foods, Japanese home cooking, and seasonal food traditions, we offer “kitchen-based experiences” for both local and international guests — experiences where you can learn through aroma, texture, and the changing flavors of ingredients.
Amidas Inc. holds the mission:
“Nurturing daily life and the heart, starting from the kitchen.”
What we value is not simply “cooking.”
Through dashi, fermentation, seasonal ingredients, and the time spent sharing a table with others, we share the wisdom and culture of everyday Japanese home cooking.
Our classes are not only about learning recipes.
They are an opportunity to experience the spirit of omotenashi and the quiet beauty of everyday Japanese life.
We hope your time at Kitchen Bee becomes a warm and memorable part of your visit to Japan.
