  • Enjoy “genuine Japanese tastes and stories” in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Kanazawa

    Each region in Japan has its own unique food culture.
    Tsukiji/Toyosu in Tokyo, where Edomae sushi was born; Gion, Kyoto, where the tradition of Kyoto kaiseki is still alive; Osaka, where the culture of flour food is rooted; Kanazawa, where fermented food culture and Kaga vegetables are popular; Sapporo/Hakodate, the kingdom of seafood; and Fukuoka, where the food stall culture is.

    Each region has its own “story told through food.”

    In this experience,

    • Sushi chef experience (basics of nigiri, rolls, and soup stock)
    • Japanese soup stock course/miso making
    • Kyoto kaiseki presentation experience
    • Sake tasting at a sake brewery
    • Making Japanese sweets (nerikiri/seasonal sweets)
    • Shojin ryori cooking experience
    • Making sweets using gold leaf from Kanazawa
    • Market tours (Tsukiji, Nishiki Market, Kuromon Market, etc.)

    You can deeply learn about, make, and taste the different “Japanese flavors” that vary from region to region.

    It's not just a meal, but a special time where you can experience Japan's unique worldview of food, where ingredients, seasons, vessels, gestures, and scenery come together.
    Please enjoy the “delicious learning” that will remain in your travel memories.
