Seasonal. Bespoke. Intimate.
Rice is reveared as both a sacred crop and the ultimate comfort food. We'll revel in this simple, perfect grain and enjoy a master class on shaping onigiri rice balls. We'll also visit a soy brewery and learn all about the art, science, and craft of crafting one of Japan's staple seasonings.
In concert with the festival of colors, sea bream comes into season alongside persimmons and mushrooms. And the winter brewing season begins. We’ll travel to Itoshima and learn all about the art, science, and craft of brewing soy, one of Japan's staple seasonings.
