WELCOME to my kitchen
Where we serve flavor with a hint of homestyle love
Banzaï, what does it mean?
Originally, "Banzai" (万歳) is a Japanese word that literally means "ten thousand years of life" — a wish for long life and prosperity for the emperor.
Today, however, “Banzaï!” is mostly a joyful exclamation — a cheer to celebrate a moment, raise a toast, or simply savor the present.
That’s exactly what I aim to share through my cooking: generosity, freshness, and a true zest for life.
At Banzaï, cooking takes many forms — all centered around the joy of good food and unique culinary experiences in Brussels.
Every week, I offer meal boxes to take away or have delivered across Brussels, so you can enjoy the taste of homemade cooking.
I also share my passion through Japanese cooking workshops that are casual and accessible to everyone.
For those who love to slow down and savor, my intimate supper clubs offer a unique experience built around a seasonal menu.
And for your intimate events, I offer a bespoke catering or private chef service to delight your guests without any stress.
Who’s behind Banzaï?
My name is Nadia (and Sakura in Japanese) — I’m a cook, a host, and someone deeply passionate about food that brings people together.
My style: homemade dishes inspired by my travels, my roots, and a constant desire to delight.
My cooking is simple, genuine, generous — a bit like an open invitation to my home.
Through Banzaï, I create both culinary and human experiences: whether it’s in a meal box, around a supper club, in a workshop, or in your own home, every dish is crafted to make the moment memorable and to nourish more than just your appetite.
This week's meal boxes
Every week, I prepare takeaway dishes, cooked with care and in limited quantities. Place your order before Friday noon to receive your meals the following week!

Upcoming Events
Between intimate Supper Clubs and Japanese cooking workshops, there’s always a good reason to gather around a beautiful table.
They say it better than we do:
"I had the chance to discover Banzaï during a table d’hôte with friends, and I can only highly recommend this experience! Nadia is incredibly talented — her cooking is delicate, flavorful, made with fresh, varied, and beautifully crafted ingredients. [...] Everything was perfect: the elegant, meticulous table setting, the beautifully presented menus… A flawless experience, both warm and professional."
"I loved the cooking workshop I attended with Banzaï to learn how to make gyozas! Nadia covers the basics, and the atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant, in a clean and beautiful setting. The workshop is accessible, and the results are delicious! We receive the recipe at the end in a lovely printed format. I highly recommend it!"

"I’ve regularly ordered takeaway dishes and also attended a gyoza workshop. In both cases, I highly recommend Banzaï! The dishes are varied and delicious, and the workshop was fun and informative."
"We used Banzaï’s services for my bachelor party. The dishes were excellent, carefully prepared with high-quality ingredients. Communication was very clear, and the delivery went smoothly without any issues. I highly recommend their service without hesitation."
Entrust us with your events in Brussels and surroundings, and savor every moment.
