About the Daidokoro Community:

As you may know, Daidokoro was the name of the facebook group i created several years ago to bring people together around cooking japanese food. Since then, things have evolved.

in addition to the Japanese cooking club, i’ve decided to create a new community as an extension.

daidokoro (japanese word for kitchen).

if youre interested in joining, please read through the below before clicking the link to register at the bottom of the page.

if you join as a founding member, the only thing I ask is that you participate.

to keep things simple, here are few ideas for what i mean and how you can contribute :

• for example –
  share your recipes, tips, comments
  ask a question or answer one
  share your photos of food, travel, or cooking related things
  share your honest opinions and constructive criticisms to bring out the best in people and make this a community unlike any other

for the time being, here’s what I envision for daidokoro V3 to be – your place to:

• discover more about Japan from the comfort of your own home
  meet your new friends – people just like you who also like to eat and cook Japanese food, travel and grow like a tree
  ask questions and learn all about Japanese food, culture and travel
  get exclusive access to online cooking classes with Pat and downloadable Japanese recipes
  share your own adventures
  your cooking and recreations (food pictures)
  your most recent travels, reading and other adventures that would contribute to the community
  earn shark teeth based on your participation in the community
  whether it’s a photo from a dish you’ve cooked, a helpful comment or just participating in a conversation- the shark teeth are points you can accumulate and redeem for cash in the all day i eat shop
  and this is just to start…

i think things may change over time as it evolves.

but if youre at all interested click to save your spot on the waitlist because you'll get notified when we kick things off !
