Discover the secrets of Japanese health and wellbeing through three key superfoods: matcha, miso, and soba noodles.
Leading the experience is Kawada-san, a respected hospitality professional and native of Tokyo, who will guide you through a day of tasting, learning, and exploration.
Start with a Japanese matcha tea-making and tasting session in a stylish Ginza space. Discover traditional matcha etiquette, prepare the tea yourself, and savor a cup of this soothing, nutrient-rich brew. You will also receive a matcha tea kit to take home.
Next, visit a miso and fermented food store, home to over fifty types of miso from across Japan. Learn about the health benefits of miso and other fermented foods, including probiotics for gut health, improved digestion, and a stronger immune system.
Afterward, visit an antenna store featuring local products from across Japan. Many of these ingredients are prized for their health benefits and offer a glimpse into Japan’s approach to food and wellness.
The day concludes with lunch at a soba noodle restaurant. Soba, made from buckwheat, is low in gluten and rich in essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Enjoy a freshly prepared meal while learning about the benefits of soba for heart health, improved blood sugar control, and reduced inflammation.
By the end of this experience, you will gain hands-on knowledge of matcha, miso, and soba, enjoy delicious and nutritious foods, and leave with a deeper appreciation for Japanese health traditions.
