It's an exceptional opportunity for every foodie to watch, how mochi is pounding. Even more so to participate in it! We really enjoyed the interesting insights, and discovering the whole process – not to mention the unique deliciousness of the fresh mochi. We could even try four different types of it! The organisation of the whole event was very smooth: easy communication, clear itinerary, friendly and nice hosts, professional chef by the soup making (actually, it was a complete lunch), lot of further tips and informations on the traditional Japanese cuisine. Marie, our host is actually an advocate of the fermentation and traditional way of cooking ("washoku"), so she has a broader point of view on this topic. Through her experience, we could also get a deeper understanding on the usage of the ingredients and their health effects. It was a pleasure to meet her and participating on this experience. I would warmly recommend to all food lovers and enthusiasts! (The location is within reachable distance of many famous sake breweries and also not far from the Fushimi-inari shrine. So you can schedule nicely into your plans.)

Our group of 6 had a wonderful tour of Uji on April 7! With excellent English, Terumi S. led the tour which focused on a wide variety of Matcha and Green Tea experiences. We especially liked Terumi putting tea-making in Japan in context by pointing out the differences as we went along. Even though it was raining we were able to do all of the activities indoors. I especially liked the tea ceremony where the women were in full kimono dress with Terumi translating the ritual. She went the extra mile to get us to our next appointment by riding the train with us and showing us the connection! Arigato for an exceptional tour!

Explore the Essence of Japanese Cuisine with Dashi

Discover the unique flavors of Japan in just one day with our exceptional Dashi-focused tours. Dashi, a traditional Japanese stock made from ingredients like kombu (kelp) and katsuobushi (fermented skipjack tuna), forms the backbone of many beloved Japanese dishes. Whether you're a culinary enthusiast looking to enhance your cooking skills or simply someone who appreciates fine dining, these tours offer a deep dive into the art and science of Dashi. Immerse yourself in the authentic tastes and culinary techniques that have defined Japanese cuisine for centuries.

A Day of Culinary Adventure

Our one-day Dashi tours start with an early morning introduction to the history and cultural significance of Dashi in Japanese cuisine. You'll visit local markets where you can see the freshest ingredients like kombu and bonito flakes, essential for making Dashi. An expert guide will help you understand the nuances of ingredient selection so you can recreate these flavors at home. As morning progresses into afternoon, you'll participate in a hands-on cooking class where you'll learn to prepare Dashi from scratch. This interactive experience not only enhances your cooking skills but also enriches your appreciation of how this humble stock can elevate even the simplest dishes.

Savor Your Creations

The day culminates in a communal meal where you'll enjoy the dishes crafted during your cooking class. Guided by chefs who are masters of Japanese culinary arts, you'll taste the difference Dashi makes in dishes like miso soup, noodle broths, and stews. This intimate dining experience is the perfect opportunity to savor the rich umami flavors and to discuss the cooking techniques you’ve just mastered. These 1-day tours provide not only a feast for your taste buds but also enrich your understanding of Japanese culture and culinary traditions, making it an unforgettable experience on your journey through Japan.
