Cooking Experience in Gamagori Onigiri and Sushi with Hotel Chef

essional chef at Hotel Takeshima in Gamagori. Begin by watching rice cook in a traditional Japanese kama pot, taking in the aroma and steam as it is freshly prepared. Using the warm rice, make your own onigiri and choose your favorite fillings to create it just the way you like. Next, turn your attention to futomaki, a traditional thick sushi roll filled with colorful ingredients. Watch the hotel chef demonstrate how to arrange the fillings, roll the sushi, and handle a Japanese kitchen knife with precision. Then choose your own ingredients and roll a full futomaki yourself. Throughout the experience, your English-speaking guide will introduce the ingredients of Gamagori and the wider Mikawa region and explain the traditions behind onigiri, futomaki, and Japanese rice culture. Once your dishes are complete, sit down to enjoy what you have made while sharing the experience with the chef and your guide. Through cooking, tasting, and conversation, this intimate experience offers a delicious and engaging introduction to everyday Japanese food culture.
