At the end of May 2026, already traditional cooking class was held again by the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Tokyo in cooperation with the Japan-Czech Friendship Association. The class was attended by Japanese fans of Czech gastronomy from the Association. The culinary experience was provided by an experienced chef Mr. Leoš Kastl, who has worked in prestigious hotels in Prague and who has been the chef de cuisine at the Czech Embassy in Tokyo since 2022.

At the beginning of the course, the participants of the class received a brief introduction to the menu consisted of Czech cuisine and then participated in the preparation of whole lunch. The Czech lunch menu included homemade chicken pate as an appetizer, pork tenderloin with black garlic mash and creamy wild mushroom sauce as the main dish, and classic Czech fruit dumplings filled with strawberries for a dessert. The lunch was served with traditional Czech beer.

The lunch was excellent and all participants left the cooking class thrilled.

Thank you for your participation!
