WashokuJob

WashokuJob is a job posting platform, not a recruitment or staffing agency. It does not screen, interview, or evaluate applicants. Employers post jobs and receive applicant details directly via email, including the chef's name, contact information, years of experience, specialty, and language skills. Job postings are created in both Japanese and English, with a preview PDF provided before publication.

The platform serves the Japanese cuisine industry, with registered job seekers including chefs, head chefs, front-of-house staff, and managers experienced in Japanese cuisine. Job listings cover multiple cuisine types such as sushi, ramen, izakaya, teppanyaki, kaiseki, yakitori, kushikatsu, yakiniku/BBQ, seafood, udon/soba, Western food, cafe, bar, and general washoku. Listings are available in over 20 countries including the USA, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, South Korea, China, India, and UAE.

Interviews are typically conducted online via video conferencing tools such as Zoom. The platform does not provide visa application support; employers must handle visa procedures themselves. Due to Japanese labor law, job advertisements cannot specify age, gender, or other personal attributes. The platform has facilitated over 120 chefs to work in more than 50 countries.
