The authentic Japanese culinary technique and culture we take pride in — spread further, and carried to the next generation.

What is Japanese Chefs Recipes?

The world's first professional recipe portal site, made for professional chefs.

"I want to raise the value of my cooking even further! I want to give my customers an even better dining experience!!" — For everyone who pursues authenticity.

There are limited opportunities to learn the techniques and culture of Japanese cuisine, and even culinary professionals acquire most of their skills through their day-to-day work.

If only those who are working right now to know more about Japanese cuisine, to learn, and to improve their skills could get the information they need exactly when they need it. And if only we could further spark their imagination and curiosity. If we could be of even the smallest help to all of you who pursue authenticity, aim for the highest level, and serve dishes to your customers every day…

Since its founding, the Japan Culinary Research Association (a public-interest incorporated association) has worked to share and advance Japanese culinary skill across the boundaries of restaurant, school of thought, and age. To help you reach an even higher level, increase the added value of the dishes you serve, and ultimately do more to improve the dining experience of the customers who enjoy your cooking, we created "Japanese Chefs Recipes" — and have now relaunched it.
