About This Tour
A shared table for everyone — this experience begins with the joy of eating the same meal together, regardless of dietary background. It’s more than cooking; it’s a celebration of connection and cultural exchange through food. A visit to a warm and welcoming kitchen in Aomori reveals the culinary traditions passed down through generations. Over three hours, engage with local grandmothers who share their wisdom and stories while guiding you in preparing seasonal dishes. Learn about the unique land and climate that influence Aomori’s rich food culture, from its snowy winters to lush summers. The menu is naturally plant-based and free from common restrictions, offering a safe and inclusive Japanese meal for all — whether vegetarian (including Oriental Vegetarian), vegan and gluten-free. Here, everyone can enjoy authentic flavors and share the heart of Aomori around one table.
