What I'm working hard on now!
Currently working as an open campus staff member!
Department of Advanced Chef and Department of Chef are all working hard to practice their skills, all with the same goal of becoming chefs.
At Tsuji Gakuen, students not only learn cooking techniques, but teachers also teach them the joy of cooking, so the school is always filled with smiling faces.
On this page, we will introduce a day in such a school and share with you the real voices of our students.
