Overview

Step beyond the familiar and dive into the world of Washoku, Japan’s centuries-old culinary tradition recognised by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. Rooted in harmony, seasonality, and meticulous preparation, Washoku is more than just a meal.

Join us on an immersive food tour where we’ll experience the delicate balance of traditional Japanese cooking. Along the way, we’ll visit some city highlights, historic markets, authentic neighbourhoods, and perhaps even step into the serene world of a teahouse district.

Unsure about Japanese table manners and dining etiquette? Don’t worry, we’ll guide you through all the essentials!

The itinerary may vary depending on the day and your preferences. If you have any mobility or dietary restrictions, please let me know in advance. I’ll do my best to accommodate them, though some limitations may be difficult to adjust.

Get ready to taste, learn, and indulge. This is Washoku as you’ve never experienced before.
