We believe that learning about food is fundamentally akin to learning about how life is lived in a place. What people eat, how they prepare it, and who they eat with are all reflections of the local climate, history, family values, and rhythms of life.

Our cooking workshops are led by friendly local home cooks, and are designed to be more than just cooking classes. Whether solo, as couples, or as friend groups or families, guests can prepare popular everyday Japanese home-cooked dishes, while learning real-life cooking techniques in a relaxed atmosphere.

Using ingredients from Ishikawa, guests prepare a variety of dishes beloved in Japanese homes, from local specialties such as Sasa-zushi (sushi wrapped in bamboo leaves) to nationwide favorites like Okonomiyaki (savory “pancakes” made with shredded cabbage), Tamagoyaki rolled omelets, and sushi rolls. It is an unforgettable way to spend time cooking, eating, and chatting with local hosts and fellow guests.
