About this experience
A great-value vegan class where you can learn about Japan including history, culture and health tips using fermented foods. Enjoy this unique, beauty focused class in the convenient location!
We also use plenty of ingredients that are great for your health and beauty, including Japanese superfoods, amazake (fermented sweet drink) and sake kasu (sake lees, contain alcohol).
The venue is in the heart of Tokyo (Only 10 mins from Shibuya Sta.), so you won’t be affected by the weather!
The class is just 2 hours long, making it perfect even for busy travelers!
Fermented foods are so specialized that very few classes exist, making this a one-of-a-kind experience.
Also enjoy a sake kasu hand mask trial and sakura tea. Enjoy the Japanese beauty afternoon tea!
Special Promotion : We also offer another class, Fermented Food Lunch Class, starting at 11am. If you join both classes on the same day, you will receive a special gift — rice koji amazake, the one we use in the dessert class.
