About This Tour
Discover the essence of Washoku on an exclusive culinary journey in the historic port town of Tsuruga on the Sea of Japan. Visit Okui Kaiseido, a renowned kombu specialist with over 140 years of tradition. Guided by expert staff and an interpreter, explore the rarely opened Kuragakoi kombu aging warehouse through a special deep-dive route unavailable on standard tours. Learn how kombu transported from Hokkaido by historic Kitamae-bune ships matures in Tsuruga’s cool climate, developing deep umami through time and craftsmanship. Enjoy a live demonstration of “Oboro Kombu Suki” by a master craftsman, followed by a tasting that compares kombu of different aging vintages. The experience concludes with a luxurious sushi lunch made with the freshest local seafood. Travel in comfort with private executive transfers in a premium Grand Ace vehicle—an unforgettable blend of history, culture, and cuisine for discerning travelers.
