Hi all,
I'm hoping to find a cooking gig in Osaka (but will also consider close by cities). But there are a few issues.
- I don't speak Japanese well. Just know greetings and then basic sentence construction.
- I have no commercial kitchen experience (I think I'm decent in the kitchen at home though), but I'm eager to learn. Even if I have to be a dish boy.
Does anyone know if it's possible to find a kitchen job despite this? Been using job search apps but honestly feels like they're mostly looking for professionals or people who can speak decent Japanese. Is it ok to walk into restaurants and just start asking if they need staff and would hire me? Anyone out there know any restaurant people who may be interested in helping me out?
I am actually most interested in Chinese cooking. I speak enough to get by, so working in a Chinese restaurant with Chinese staff is ideal. But I'm not so picky, I would be grateful to have some kitchen experience.
Thanks for reading!
