Chefrepi

Chefrepi (シェフレピ) is a Japanese online cooking school that delivers on-demand video lessons taught by working professional chefs, paired with optional pre-portioned ingredient kits shipped to the learner's home. Lessons are organised as single dishes and multi-lesson courses covering French, Chinese, Mexican, Italian, Japanese and sushi cooking, taught by named chefs and restaurants such as Kiyofuji Koki (h.b./枯朽), Azuma Koji (AUBE), Sato Tomoko (KIYAS), Kamei Ken (カメキチ), Miyamoto Shinya (鮨みやもと) and Ishida Shinji (Nogizaka Shin, described as a one-Michelin-star chef). Lesson content emphasises the reasoning behind each technique rather than step-by-step instruction alone, and the catalogue exceeds 140 lessons, updated at a pace of one to two new lesson videos per month.

Access is tiered. A free plan allows viewing of a limited set of publicly released lessons (one lesson per month is opened to free members) and the company's editorial magazine, but does not permit ingredient-kit purchases except for selected menus, with a ¥1,000 shipping charge. The premium plan (marketed as シェフレピ+) provides unlimited viewing of the full catalogue, ingredient-kit purchasing with free shipping, 24-hour access and chat-based question support staffed by former professional cooks. Kits are sold from each dish's detail page, carry a use-by date four days from dispatch, display the 28 designated allergen items, and ship to all prefectures except Okinawa and some remote islands, with two-day transit to Hokkaido, parts of western Japan, Shikoku and Kyushu.

Alongside the core subscription, Chefrepi runs member-only events, including online cooking sessions hosted by staff member Yamamoto and chef-led tasting dinners, and publishes the Chefrepi Magazine with cooking-technique columns, wine-pairing articles and user interviews. A separate English-language property, sushi.chefrepi.com, offers a beta "Online Sushi Making Class" aimed at an international audience, teaching nigiri, rolls and Japanese cooking foundations from Japan-based sushi artisans.
