里山かまどご飯 Kamado lunch

Work together with your teacher to prepare a simple yet special Japanese lunch, just as the people of Kumagawa-juku did hundreds of years ago. The centerpiece of this lunch is the finest Koshihikari rice, grown with the purest water from Wakasa town.

Information

The experience:
Hundreds of years ago, every household within the post town of Kumagawa-juku had a kamado, or old-style Japanese wood-burning stove. Nowadays the locals of Kumagawa-juku use regular appliances, but within our main office, Hishiya, lies an Edo period kamado.

Using this piece of history, work together with your teacher to make a simple yet delicious lunch, as the locals of Kumagawa-juku did for hundreds of years. As you work on your lunch, learn about each ingredient and how the farmers get them from their fields to your plate.

This is a chance to live as the locals did for hundreds of years. You can always walk through an old town, but getting your hands dirty is what you'll really remember.

Gather at Hishiya (main office)
Begin cooking lesson
Finish and eat lunch at Hishiya
