Discover the rich food culture of Kitakyushu through this immersive tour and sushi-making class. Begin at Kokura Station and head to the 100-year-old Tanga Market, a lively street food hub known as the “Kitchen of Kitakyushu.” Your local guide will walk you through the market’s vibrant stalls, introduce you to fishmongers, and share the region’s culinary history and techniques.
After the tour, visit local sushi restaurant Heishiro for a hands-on sushi-making class. Under the guidance of a professional chef, you’ll learn to prepare sushi rice, slice fresh fish, and assemble your own 12-piece sushi set using seafood sourced directly from the market. It’s a perfect blend of culture, flavor, and local hospitality.
