(Subject to Option Inclusions)Through this tour, We aim to impart my expertise and passion for Japanese cooking to a broader audience, hoping many will partake in this culinary adventure and discover the exquisite flavors of Japanese cuisine. Our journey begins not just with cooking but also with a visit to a local supermarket. Japanese supermarkets are a treasure trove, offering an extensive range of meats, fish, vegetables, and an array of unique seasonings. We are eager to share my insights on selecting the freshest ingredients, a skill honed through daily practice. Once we've gathered our ingredients, we'll transition to a professional kitchen studio to embark on our cooking session. Under guided instruction, you'll master the techniques of Japanese home-style cooking, from wielding a Japanese knife with precision to preparing foundational elements like dashi for miso soup and crafting sushi rice seasoned with vinegar.
