Why choose this Kyoto tour ?

During this experience you will learn to make sushi of your choice or traditional Obanzai style dishes such as cooked and marinated mushrooms, pickled or slow-cooked seasonal vegetables and tofu dishes prepared the traditional way over an informative conversation with your host Emika in her cozy kitchen. Emika will also teach you to prepare traditional, homemade miso soup from scratch.

The cooking portion of your experience may last about an hour before you enjoy the meal you prepared together.

Emika’s family owns an organic vegetable field where she harvests most of the vegetables that she uses in her cooking. Prepare to be amazed by the sheer variety of daikon radishes grown on their farm!

Join Emika and learn all about traditional Japanese cooking techniques, from chopping to marination, from a lovely local!
