Tour Details

Step beyond the typical tourist path and immerse yourself in a truly local culinary world in Oita Prefecture. Forget sushi and ramen; this intimate class focuses exclusively on the regional soul food that you can only experience in Beppu and Oita.

This is a premium, hands-on experience where you are welcomed into a local setting to learn and prepare three of Oita’s most cherished local dishes. 

Led by a seasoned local host and supported by a dedicated English assistant, you will connect directly with the spirit of Japanese hospitality and the rich history embedded in Oita’s unique cuisine. This is more than a class—it is a rare opportunity for the discerning traveler to gain deep cultural immersion and the skills to recreate these cherished dishes at home.

*This is a small-group tour with a maximum of 8 participants, providing a personal and intimate experience as you explore alongside fellow travelers.

  • Authentic Oita Cuisine (Seasonal Focus): Master the preparation of local, seasonal Oita dishes.
  • Intimate Homestyle Setting: Enjoy a relaxed, personal atmosphere as you cook alongside a local expert.
  • Full English Support: A dedicated English assistant ensures smooth communication and an engaging experience.
  • Dietary Flexibility: We proudly offer Vegan and Vegetarian options upon advance request.
  • Thoughtful Keepsake: Receive a small souvenir, including a digital recipe card to help you cook these dishes again.

Cooking Menu

Toriten

Oita's signature dish: tender chicken coated in crispy tempura batter, served with refreshing citrus ponzu and spicy mustard.

Dangojiru Soup

Oita’s comforting soul food: thick, hand-stretched flat wheat noodles simmered with seasonal root vegetables in rich miso broth.

Yaseuma

A nostalgic Oita dessert: chewy, hand-stretched flat wheat ribbons generously dusted with sweet, toasted soybean powder (kinako).
