  Miso soup is a traditional Japanese soup. It's base is "dashi" (Japanese fish stock) and Miso paste.

In western and Easter Japan white miso is mostly used.

Cooking Class Information

Tsugaru Home Cooking Experience in Aomori

Why not experience authentic, heartwarming Tsugaru home cooking in Aomori, in Japan’s Tohoku region?
In this class, you’ll have the opportunity to prepare traditional local dishes that have been cherished in Tsugaru households for generations.
We also plan to go shopping together at a nearby supermarket to gather the ingredients.
This is more than just a cooking experience; you’ll get a firsthand look at Japanese daily life, culture, and history, as well as the simple, rich flavors of rural Tohoku home cooking.
We also own an apple orchard and vegetable garden, so you can use freshly harvested vegetables and apples as ingredients. You’ll even have the chance to make apple pie using our homemade apples.

What you will do

1. Shopping at a Local Supermarket

We will visit a nearby local supermarket together to buy fresh ingredients. You can explore typical Japanese food items and learn about seasonal ingredients and local specialties. I will explain what we are buying and how each ingredient is used in our cooking.
