Join a relaxed home-style cooking experience in central Nagoya and discover dishes loved by local families.
Start with a short neighborhood walk and a visit to a Japanese supermarket to learn about everyday ingredients and local food culture. Then cook one of three popular menu options — Tenmusu, Temari Sushi, or Okonomiyaki — using ingredients that are already prepared, so you can simply enjoy the cooking process.
No cooking experience is necessary — just come hungry and ready to enjoy an authentic local experience.
