Join an English-speaking guide such as Chie, Eri, or Akko for a supermarket visit and hands-on class making niku-sui, okonomiyaki, and gyoza. You will share lunch, enjoy three canned drinks, and receive recipes and tour photos afterward.

“Chie was such an amazing guide and chef. She is so knowledgeable about Japanese history and products and made the cooking class really easy and fun! She took such good care of us and we had the best time. I’d highly recommend taking her class as it’s a wonderful mix of fun cooking, drinking and history. She took great care of us and we will definitely take another one of her classes or tours when we return to Japan.”
