Experience Details
Nagoya is typically known for its powerhouse industrial economy (one of the strongest in Japan) but is often overlooked as a destination in itself. To fuel the hardworking people of Nagoya, the unique cuisine of Aichi Prefecture is often referred to as "Nagoya meshi", a uniquely distinct food culture that has developed over the span of centuries.
One delicious defining feature of Nagoya food is that Nagoyans will put miso in just about anything! In particular, Nagoya food is always jazzed up with a delicious, dense dollop of red miso, a distinct Japanese flavoring from fermented soybeans that has a deep, savory flavor.
During this Nagoya Food Home Cooking Class, you’ll be cooking in a typical Japanese home, where you’ll learn everything there is to know about miso, while using it in a number of dishes.
You’ll make Nagoya-style karaage (fried chicken), originally made famous for being spicy. Then, you’ll shape a rice ball with a piece of shrimp tempura in it, a local specialty known as “tenmusu,” and get tips and tricks about cooking Nagoya food. You'll complete your meal with a delicious "miso katsu sando", a sandwich with a thick, crispy pork cutlet and miso sauce.
Once you're finished cooking, enjoy your meal with your host while you keep learning about what makes Nagoya food so special.
