Experience Details

Nagoya is known for having a distinct cuisine that makes ample use of the rich, savory taste and incredible versatility of miso, a thick paste consisting of fermented soybeans, salt and koji mold. This home cooking class, led by an experienced home chef and miso specialist, centers on one of such specialties — miso nikomi udon.


Miso nikomi udon is prepared by boiling udon noodles in a soup with a miso base, then topping the mix with chicken, leek and kamaboko fish cakes. While technically a soup with a miso base, this dish is distinctly different from the classic take on miso soup in most places in Japan, thanks to a secret ingredient you’ll uncover in this class.


During this class, you’ll sample the differences in both color and taste across several types of miso from all over Japan. You’ll also learn to make soup stock from scratch and make another quintessentially Japanese dish in addition to miso nikomi udon. You can choose your side dish from the following list:


- Spinach dressed in sesame seeds

- Japanese-style rolled omelet (dashimaki)

- Green pepper with salted kelp

- Skewered grilled tofu dressed in sweet miso paste

- Pickled wakame seaweed and cucumber


For dessert, you can opt to prepare either tofu pudding or warabi mochi to complete your meal. You'll then enjoy your home-cooked feast together with your host.
