Join your host Kanae in her open kitchen and learn to prepare a traditional, homemade Japanese meal! Kanae will welcome you into her comfortable family home located in one of the most peaceful and luxurious residential areas of Sapporo. Sip on a welcome drink as you immerse yourself into local Hokkaido culture and get to know your host as she shares stories about herself, her family and living in Hokkaido.
You can expect your hands-on cooking lesson to last about 1-1.5 hours before you enjoy the meal you helped prepare together. Your authentic Japanese meal might include dishes such as teriyaki-chiken, kinpira-gobo (sweet and salty cooked burdock), agedashi-tofu (deep fried and seasoned tofu) and miso soup.
This is a fantastic opportunity to experience true Japanese culture and cuisine first-hand. Don't hesitate - your heart and stomach will thank you!
