Discover the beauty of Japanese wellness through Washoku, Japan's traditional food culture recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Join this 90-minute small-group experience at Office Forest in Osaka, led by a registered dietitian with over 46 years of professional experience and more than 20 years of university teaching. More than a cooking class, this is a cultural and wellness journey into the heart of Japanese food traditions.
Learn about Ichiju-Sansai (one soup and three dishes), the foundation of Washoku, and how fermented foods, seasonal ingredients, and balanced nutrition contribute to Japan's remarkable longevity.
Enjoy a hands-on onigiri-making activity, taste freshly prepared miso soup made with traditional dashi, and experience authentic matcha with seasonal wagashi while learning the customs and etiquette behind each tradition.
You will also view authentic Japanese cultural treasures, including traditional dolls and historic Wajima lacquerware, adding another dimension to your understanding of Japanese culture.
With English-speaking guidance throughout, this experience offers an authentic introduction to Japanese food, wellness, and hospitality.
