Nagoya Ichiju-Sansai Cooking Class with Matcha Experience

Descrizione

Discover the joy of Japanese home cooking with Grandma in Nagoya as you learn to prepare Ichiju-Sansai, a traditional Japanese meal consisting of one soup and three side dishes.

During this hands-on class, you'll make authentic dashi from kombu and bonito flakes—the essential foundation of Japanese cuisine—and use it to create comforting home-style dishes that have been enjoyed by my family for generations.

Nagoya is renowned for its rich fermentation culture, and you'll explore the unique flavors of local miso, koji, and soy sauce through a guided tasting, gaining a deeper appreciation for these essential Japanese seasonings.

After enjoying the meal you've prepared, you'll complete your cultural experience by whisking your own bowl of matcha and pairing it with seasonal Japanese sweets (wagashi).
