Our onigiri-making and miso soup experience offers a unique opportunity to connect with Japanese culture in an authentic and hands-on way. Unlike typical cooking classes, this activity takes place in the tranquil setting of a historic temple, allowing you to enjoy not only the art of making onigiri but also the peaceful atmosphere that Japan is known for.
You’ll have the chance to personalize your own onigiri plate, experimenting with various fillings and flavors, and learn the process of creating a delicious miso soup from scratch using locally renowned Hida miso. This special blend of culture, culinary skill, and tranquility is something you won’t find in just any cooking class. Plus, our experience is entirely vegan-friendly, making it accessible for everyone.
Join us to create lasting memories, nourish your body and soul, and take home a unique slice of Japanese culture.

Tama, our host, was excellent in explaining the detail of making a perfect miso soup. The onigiri was excellent too. Would highly recommend the experience. The temple setting was the cherry on top!

I loved the experience, the teacher a good person and passed well the lesson and teachings regarding customs and traditions, but it did not seem that I would like to be there giving class, although we tried to break the ice we felt him a little angry. But the experience was great and my children of 12 and 9 years loved

Very fun experience. Our guide/chef spoke perfect English and shared his thoughts on appreciating the food and where it comes from, which we all appreciated. The miso soup was excellent, ingredients explained to us but made entirely by our chef. We prepared our own rice balls and they were also good.

It was a lot of fun.... the teacher was young, friendly and easy to be with. We had planned for this cooking experience to be lunch and it was perfect for us. Our instructor shared with us how the prep work was done, engaged us and shared knowledge about the ingredients. It wasn't heavy lifting but a wonderful hour after touring all morning.
