Offered in: Japanese and 2 more

If you love Japanese food but want to go beyond sushi,
this experience is for you.

Instead of restaurants, you’ll explore how Japanese people actually eat at home through miso, local supermarkets, and simple everyday meals.

We’ll start at a long-established miso shop in Kameido, where you’ll taste and compare different types of miso to find your favorite.

Then, we’ll enjoy a simple Japanese meal " miso soup and rice " just like a typical home-style lunch.

After that, we’ll visit a local supermarket where I’ll show you what Japanese people actually buy, and how you can use those ingredients in your own kitchen.

You’ll learn how to choose real, everyday Japanese ingredients — not just for souvenirs, but for cooking at home.
　
This is a relaxed, personal experience designed to give you a deeper, more meaningful connection to Japanese food and daily life.
