This Japanese cooking class has quite an original feature: it starts with a Kamishibai (literally “paper drama”, a traditional style of Japanese storytelling) that introduces Japanese fermented foods produced with the use of a fungus known as Koji. This short performance helps you to understand more about essential Japanese seasonings and fermentation culture, before proceeding to the actual cooking.
