Please note that the market tour here means a local supermarket tour. After you meet your host Akiko at the station, she will accompany you to a local supermarket located near the JR station where she will show and describe the different ingredients used in Japanese cooking and seasoning. If you like, Akiko can help you purchase local ingredients that you can take back home from Japan.After the tour, you will join Akiko in her kitchen to make classic Nagoya dishes such as red miso stew and shrimp tempura in a rice ball or fried chicken, Nagoya style. You will also learn how to make dashi stock from scratch for the miso stew. Your cooking class will last about an hour before you sit down to share the Nagoyan style Japanese meal you helped prepare.Akiko is thrilled about the opportunity to share specialties from Nagoya as a lot of people don’t know how to cook Nagoya-style food. Because of this, many Nagoyans themselves eat their local specialities at restaurants!
