Have fun learning in Osaka: a Japanese fermentation and dashi stock cooking experience

Fermented foods and dashi stock are important elements that support the deliciousness of Japanese cuisine. In this experience, you will learn about Japanese fermentation culture and umami through tastings of miso, shiokoji and amazake, as well as a comparison of several types of dashi stock. After that, we will use fermented seasonings and dashi stock to make home-cooked dishes together, such as onigiri, miso soup and a main course. Let's enjoy a fun discussion about Japanese food culture and home cooking while sampling the dishes. Even beginners can participate with peace of mind.
