Tsuji Culinary Institute: Japanese Culinary Excellence in Bangkok

Tsuji Culinary Institute: Japanese Culinary Excellence in Bangkok

Tsuji Culinary Institute, a renowned Japanese culinary school, has brought its esteemed programs to the heart of Bangkok through a partnership with The Food School Bangkok.
 

Evolving Educational Philosophy

The modern philosophy, championed by Yoshiki Tsuji, emphasizes a logical and scientific understanding of gastronomy rather than mere memorization. Tsuji argues that the school’s purpose is not to teach recipes—a role that YouTube can fulfill—but to cultivate students’ ability to “read into a recipe,” grasping the hidden depth and logic within it. The ultimate goal is to produce graduates who are skilled “technicians as much as craftspersons.”
 

Notable Success and Alumni

Graduates of the Tsuji Culinary Institute have achieved remarkable international success. Approximately 15 to 20 alumni are currently employed as Sous Chefs in two- and three-Michelin-starred restaurants across France. Closer to Japan, notable graduates include Hiroe Higuchi, who served as the head chef for the working dinner at the G7 Ise-Shima Summit in 2016, and Atsuko Koizumi, the Executive Chef at Bistro Marx in Ginza, Tokyo.

Tsuji Culinary Institute: A Legacy of Expertise 

  • Established: Founded in Osaka, Japan, in 1960.
