A wonderful experience An incredibly beautiful experience and the most authentic experience of my trip to Japan. Hiro-San greets me in good English at the station. With fine humour, Hiro-San led me to 2 local markets. I already learned so much about Japanese food and shopping, could test fish eggs and green tea. At Basama I immediately felt at home. Already in the entrance area, Basama in her kimono beamed at me. A beautiful Ikebana stood in the entrance area and a radiant Basama in a kimono warmly welcomed me. Your hospitality and warmth touched my heart deeply. I learned so much about Japan and Japanese customs, preparing tempura, cutting vegetables very small and rolling onigiri. Thank you, I was so richly gifted by you and I will carry this experience within me for a long time. Hiro, you are the best guide I have met in Japan and Basama was really like a sister to me. I can recommend this wonderful cooking experience, which is much more than just cooking, to anyone.

I liked how warm, funny and kind both of the hosts were. Helpful tip will be to learn a bit of conversational Japanese to joke with Oba-san and Hiro-san. Beginner and gaijin friendly. Arigatou Gozaimasu, Matta nei!


Highlights

Meet your guide at Mutsu-Tsuruta Station in Aomori, pick seasonal ingredients at a local market, and cook home-style dishes together in a local grandma's home. Using family recipes passed down through generations, you'll make kenoshiru (vegetable miso soup), onigiri rice balls and seasonal side dishes, then share the meal. Before cooking, you'll get a short introduction to how Aomori's geography, climate and traditions shape its food culture. It's a private class for your group of up to 5 people only, and the vegetarian menu makes it suitable for vegan and vegetarian travelers.


Program

Meet at Mutsu-Tsuruta Station
and pick seasonal ingredients at a local market

Meet your guide at Mutsu-Tsuruta Station on the JR Gono Line and take a short walk through the neighborhood. Stop by a local market (Super Tamai) to see and choose the fresh seasonal ingredients locals use every day. The market visit takes about 1 hour.

Enjoy a warm welcome at a grandma's home

After the market, step into a cozy home in Aomori. Seasonal flowers carefully prepared for guests greet you at the entrance, and a welcome drink is served on arrival. Before cooking, a short introduction to Aomori's geography, climate and traditions shows how nature, from snowy winters to lush summers, shapes the local food culture.

Cook Aomori home-style dishes with grandmas

Cook for about 3 hours with grandmas who have spent their lives making seasonal dishes from local ingredients. Listen to family recipes and stories passed down through generations as you make home-style dishes such as kenoshiru (vegetable miso soup), onigiri and seasonal side dishes. You'll learn the Japanese way of washing, cutting and seasoning ingredients, using simple techniques that are easy to repeat at home.

Enjoy lunch made from the dishes you cooked

After cooking, gather around one table and share the food you made together. Dishes are served on traditional tableware made by local artisans, so you can also appreciate Aomori's craftsmanship. The menu is vegetarian, so vegan and vegetarian travelers can join too. The experience ends back at Mutsu-Tsuruta Station.
