Overview

Did you know that Japan has the highest life expectancy in the world, and Japanese fermented foods are one of the secrets of Japanese people's health and unique culture? In this class, you will gain a deeper understanding of them including health benefits and history, which makes your travel even more special!

We use Amazake (traditional fermented rice paste, very sweet without sugar) and Sakekasu (Sake lees, which may be rare outside Japan but so creamy without dairy!). Both of them are nutritious and so delicious!(Note: Sakekasu contains alcohol 8%).

This class is a short course of 2 hours, so even busy tourists can attend. The recipes are so simple and easy to recreate which can be incorporate into your daily life even after returning home!

Our venue is very convenient, just a few minutes walk from the heart of Tokyo, Akasaka Mitsuke Station. You won't be annoyed by the weather condition!

Won't you learn something that satisfies your curiosity, and for your healthy lifestyle?

A certified instructor with Grade 1 Fermented Food Expert teaches you easy ways to incorporate Japanese fermented foods into your daily meals with the in-depth lecture in a small class. (Max: 6 people)

It starts with a detailed lecture including Koji (the key ingredient of Japanese fermented foods) and benefits of Amazake, and then we will cook desserts together using Amazake and Sakekasu (sake lees).(The sample menus may be changed depending on the seasons).

Both amazake and sakekasu are good for glowing skin and gut health, and vegan friendly!

You do not have to prepare anything, just apply then show up!

FYI, our regular kitchen is in Akasaka Mitsuke, which is near Akasaka Hie Shrine which is famous for its many rows of torii gates like Fushimi Inari Shrine of Kyoto. It will be nice to visit there before or after the class!
