Aichi Prefecture is best known for housing the headquarters of Toyota or for the more recently-opened Ghibli Park, it also has a lesser-known unique local gourmet scene. After a brief introduction and a walk through the recipes, you’ll have a chance to sample some of Aichi Prefecture’s popular seasonings and Japanese soup stock (dashi) made using traditional methods.

Then, you’ll roll up your sleeves and learn how to make a washoku meal consisting of five popular dishes: miso soup, rolled Japanese-style omelet (dashimaki tamago), a main dish of either chicken, karaage or fish, rice, and Japanese sweets (wagashi).

Each dish will feature consciously selected high-quality ingredients reflecting the region’s best offerings. Sip on matcha, feast on the fruits of your labor with your classmates, and don't forget to take photos at the end to remember the experience.
