Menu
- Seared Hida Beef Sushi (You do the searing!) — Master the art of sushi-making! After shaping the rice by hand, you'll use a professional-grade torch to carefully sear premium Hida beef. Watch the marbling melt before your eyes and savor the rich, fragrant aroma of seared wagyu.
- Hida Beef Hoba Miso Steak — Juicy Hida beef and seasonal vegetables are placed on a large hoba leaf (magnolia leaf) and cooked over a Hida konro (traditional clay stove). This dish is served with a special miso blend that you prepare yourself. The sizzling miso and the rustic, earthy scent of the hoba leaf create a truly sensory feast.
- Ultimate Umami Rice — A must for food lovers: savor the rich, concentrated umami of Hida beef miso spooned over fluffy steamed rice. This is authentic local flavor at its finest, letting you enjoy every last bit of that deep, savory goodness.
- Traditional Hoba Sushi — Learn the art of wrapping seasoned rice and colorful fillings in natural leaves. This traditional "portable meal" was once beloved by local farmers and mountain workers for its practicality and beauty. (Note: Fresh magnolia leaves are used in summer; premium seasonal leaves are used during other times of the year.)
- Authentic Fruit Daifuku with Perilla Paste (Soft Mochi Sweets) — Using soft, pillowy mochi and sweet red bean paste, create your very own seasonal fruit daifuku. Experience the soothing, rhythmic process of grinding roasted egoma (wild perilla seeds) into a rich, fragrant paste. Wrapping fresh fruit in mochi is just as fun as eating it!

Amazing Class!
Our Hida beef cooking class in Takayama with Kaori and her husband was truly one of the highlights of our entire trip. From start to finish, it was an unforgettable experience. Kaori was an amazing teacher. She made everything easy to follow while still sharing helpful techniques and cultural insight. The meal we prepared was absolutely phenomenal—hands down some of the best food we’ve had in Japan. What made the experience even more special was how fun and welcoming both Kaori and her husband were. They created such a warm, relaxed environment that made us feel completely at home. You can tell they truly love what they do and care about giving their guests a memorable experience. At the end of the evening, we were planning to take a taxi back to our hotel, but her husband generously offered to drive us instead—such a kind and thoughtful gesture that really meant a lot. If you’re in Takayama, do not miss this experience. It’s more than just a cooking class—it’s a cultural experience, a delicious meal, and time spent with genuinely wonderful people.
