Join a fully hands-on Japanese cooking class at a long-established culinary school just 3 minutes from Kanazawa Station. This is not a demonstration—each guest cooks every dish with clear, personal guidance. You’ll learn practical skills you can recreate at home, including sushi shaping, making dashi, fluffy rolled omelets, and Jibuni, a Kanazawa specialty with samurai-era roots. We also share the cultural background of each dish. We use fresh, seasonal ingredients, including premium seafood from Omicho Market, trusted by top local restaurants. Real-time AI translation on a large screen ensures smooth communication in English. Please note: Vegan diets and guests avoiding fish-based dashi cannot be accommodated. Please inform us of other dietary restrictions at booking, as same-day changes are not possible.
