Ella Barlev Chef - The Japanese House · Asians in Israel

The Japanese House of Ella is a home-based cooking workshop in Ashdod run by Ella Barlev, a math teacher who turned her passion for Japanese food into a second career as a chef. Her workshops cover ramen, sushi, and dumplings (gyoza and buns), and she is known in Israeli food communities for her detailed, patient teaching style.

Barlev’s ramen workshops teach participants to make everything from scratch — from the broth and noodles to the toppings and presentation. Her sushi workshops cover beginner through advanced techniques. The dumpling workshops include chicken and vegan fillings with steamed buns featuring braised brisket.

She has been repeatedly recommended in Facebook food groups as one of the best Asian cooking workshop options in Israel, with followers praising her generous instruction and the depth of knowledge she brings to each session. Workshops are held at her home in Ashdod and can be booked via her Facebook page.
