Flavors of Japan: Teriyaki and Miso-Based Cooking Class with Fermented Foods

Sobre

Did you know that Japan has the highest life expectancy in the world? One of the secrets behind this longevity lies in Japanese fermented foods, which play a vital role in both health and culture. In this class, you'll gain a deeper understanding of these traditional foods—an experience that will make your trip to Japan even more memorable.

The session includes an in-depth lecture covering the history, geography, and health benefits of Japanese fermented foods, followed by easy-to-make recipes that you can incorporate into your daily life. The class is conveniently located just a short walk from Akasaka Mitsuke Station, making it accessible in any weather. It lasts two hours, making it perfect even for those with a tight travel schedule. A vegan menu is also available with advance notice.

To enhance your cultural experience, we recommend visiting the nearby Akasaka Hie Shrine—an iconic sightseeing spot—either before or after your class!

Note:
This experience is best suited for adults and children aged 7 and above, as the content focuses on learning and techniques.
