Experience in the kitchens of ordinary households in Shizuoka City
Enjoying the conversation with the local Japanese friendly staff
This service started from our desire to give people the opportunity to experience the food culture of an ordinary Japanese household.
So we decided to use Japanese rice to start an experience that would allow overseas travellers to feel and learn more about Japanese culture.
We think it will be a good memory to “experience the local culture” when travelling”.
