A one-of-a-kind experience that delights the eyes, the taste buds, the mind, and the body!
A great-value vegan cooking class where you can learn about Japan including history, culture and health tips using fermented foods. Enjoy this unique, beauty focused class in a convenient and beautiful kitchen!
We also use plenty of ingredients that are great for your health and beauty, including Japanese superfoods, amazake (literally "sweet sake", a fermented sweet drink without sugar) and sake kasu (sake lees, contain alcohol).
The venue is in the heart of Tokyo, so you won’t be affected by the weather. The class is just 1.5 hours long, making it perfect even for busy travelers!
Also enjoy an aromatic sake kasu hand mask trial. Enjoy the Japanese beauty afternoon tea!
Special Promotion : We also offer another class, Fermented Food Lunch Class. If you join two classes on a same day, you will receive a special gift — rice koji amazake, the one we use in the dessert class.

What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Let's meet at 1:45pm at Exit 10 of Akasaka Mitsuke Station (go up the escalator). The instructor will come at around 1:45pm with a sign saying "Fermented Food Cooking Class". * The class location may change within central Tokyo. In this case, you will be notified after booking.
What to expect
This class is very unique and special. We use Amazake (traditional fermented rice paste, very sweet without sugar) and Sakekasu (Sake lees, the nutrient-rich byproduct left after pressing sake). They are good for glowing skin and gut health, and so delicious!(Note: Sakekasu contains alcohol 8%).
In this class, you’ll not only make fermented desserts but also enjoy a soothing and nourishing sake kasu hand mask experience, which is rarely offered in cooking classes.
Enjoy the Japanese beauty afternoon tea!
