Experience Details

In this cozy private cooking class, you can learn to make dango noodle soup, a traditional dish from Oita Prefecture.


If you prefer, you can also choose to make ramen noodles or onigiri (rice balls) with miso soup instead of dango. Just let your host know when booking.


Your teacher will start by explaining what dango noodle soup is and why it is important to the local food culture. You will then be given an apron and guided step by step through the cooking process, with all ingredients provided.


When your dish is ready, you can sit down, relax, and enjoy the flavors of your creation. A touch of yuzukosho, a local yuzu pepper seasoning, makes the dish extra authentic and adds a bright, spicy note.


This class is a great way to experience Beppu’s unique food culture, enjoy delicious homemade dishes, and meet a local host.


An English-speaking interpreter is available on request at no extra cost.
