Kanazawa: Cook & Eat with Local Grandma in a Japanese Home

Experience a “home-visit style” lunch, where you can enjoy authentic Japanese home cooking. Not a cooking class, but a warm and relaxing lunch — just like visiting a friend’s home in Japan.
Learn how to make Japanese rolled omelet (dashimaki tamago) from a local grandmother while experiencing everyday life in a Japanese home. Discover Japanese food culture and home-style cooking, then gather around the table to enjoy a handmade lunch prepared with fresh local ingredients.

With a small group of up to eight guests, you can relax and enjoy an intimate, unhurried atmosphere. This is a special opportunity to experience authentic local life — something you won’t find through sightseeing alone.
