5.0· 57 reviews· 3 hoursThree hours in a traditional kitchen — cook a classic Japanese meal with a local family in their 200-year-old townhouse in Old Town.
“I had a fantastic morning. Hisa collected us from our hotel, and we strolled through the morning market, which was wonderful to experience. Afterward, we visited her home, where her husband Bob welcomed us. Together, we made several dishes to enjoy later. The care taken was evident, the atmosphere was friendly and inviting, and the food was delightful. I highly recommend this experience.”— alwienew2026
