Kanazawa: Authentic Japanese & sushi cooking classes

This year marks 55 years of teaching cooking to the Japanese people. Those who want to experience authentic Japanese cuisine are welcome to join us. Even those who do not cook can enjoy the program.

At an easily accessible experience venue in front of Kanazawa Station, participants dress in custom-made Japanese food artisan costumes and cook authentic Japanese food, with a focus on Kanazawa's representative local dishes, such as jibu-ni and nigiri-zushi. 

Even beginners will be able to cook easily.All dishes can be made by participants. The instructor's words are converted into speech in real time by a state-of-the-art translator and are also projected on a large monitor. As the review says, there is no need to worry about language.
