無麩質 一日遊(8)

It's an exceptional opportunity for every foodie to watch, how mochi is pounding. Even more so to participate in it! We really enjoyed the interesting insights, and discovering the whole process – not to mention the unique deliciousness of the fresh mochi. We could even try four different types of it! The organisation of the whole event was very smooth: easy communication, clear itinerary, friendly and nice hosts, professional chef by the soup making (actually, it was a complete lunch), lot of further tips and informations on the traditional Japanese cuisine. Marie, our host is actually an advocate of the fermentation and traditional way of cooking ("washoku"), so she has a broader point of view on this topic. Through her experience, we could also get a deeper understanding on the usage of the ingredients and their health effects. It was a pleasure to meet her and participating on this experience. I would warmly recommend to all food lovers and enthusiasts! (The location is within reachable distance of many famous sake breweries and also not far from the Fushimi-inari shrine. So you can schedule nicely into your plans.)

I had a wonderful experience with Midori-san. I enjoyed a local tour with her as my guide, and she was very informative, attentive, and considerate of all my needs. Midori-san also runs her cooking classes and offers many other tours. I highly recommend trying her classes to experience authentic Japanese cuisine and learn many fascinating facts about Kyoto. Thank you so much, Midori-san

A great tour with a knowledgeable guide, Brian. He’s American so obviously speaks perfect English. The walking route is beautiful and the temples are well worth the visit from Kyoto.

Ferdinand was meticulous in offering knowledge from history to culture. He was knowledgeable on so many different areas. I’m so grateful for this tour.

We had a wonderful experience with Michie who spoke fluent English and was very knowledgeable of the area and food. Our daughter is Coeliac and Michie made sure she was able to have gluten free safe options. Would recommend to anyone with dietary restrictions.
