Sushi and Japanese cooking class in Kanazawa

Kanazawa is famous for the quality of its fish and seafood from the Sea of Japan and for the refined Kaga cuisine, so it is a perfect place to learn to cook the Japanese way. In this class, a local chef guides you to prepare sushi, miso soup and jibuni, the most typical dish of the region: a stew of duck or chicken with vegetables thickened with starch, all with fresh, seasonal ingredients. The session is hands-on, fun and suitable for beginners, and at the end you sit down to taste your own creations. The class starts at around 6.000 ¥ and usually lasts about two hours, with explanations in English and small groups. It is advisable to book the slot in advance. It is a great plan for food lovers who want to go beyond eating in restaurants and take recipes and techniques home. Moreover, discovering jibuni is a way to connect with Kanazawa's own culinary identity, distinct from that of Japan's big cities.
