Located inside a cozy and modern Japanese guesthouse close to the historic Nijo Castle in Kyoto, this Japanese cooking class will teach you all you need to know about Japanese table manners, the history and culture behind Japanese cuisine, and how to cook recipes like teriyaki chicken and sushi. Along the way, you’ll learn about dashi, the soup stock that forms the flavor basis of many Japanese dishes.
