Description

Discover the secrets of gut-friendly Japanese superfoods in a 2-hour class in Tokyo. Learn about the history, food culture, and health benefits of fermented foods in a detailed lecture from a certified instructor. Enjoy this unique class in the very convenient location (10 mins from Shibuya Station via Ginza Line). Discover amazake, a traditional fermented sweet drink that has long been enjoyed in Japan as a way to stay energized. The main ingredients, Amazake (traditional fermented rice paste, very sweet without sugar) and Sakekasu (Sake lees, the nutrient-rich byproduct left after pressing sake) are traditional Japanese fermented foods known for improving gut health, boosting immunity, and enhancing skin beauty. (Note that sakekasu contains around 8% of alcohol. It can be switched to banana for those under 19 or those who prefer to avoid alcohol with prior notice.) The class is just 2 hours long, making it perfect even for busy travelers. Fermented foods are so specialized that very few classes exist, making this a one-of-a-kind experience. And this is a vegan class. We also use plenty of ingredients that are great for your health and beauty to create a Japanese-style afternoon tea experience. And since beautiful things are also good for the heart, you’ll also enjoy sakura tea, with its gracefully floating petals — a truly soothing sight! Plus, you’ll get to try a sakekasu hand mask that leaves your hand smooth and moisturized. It's a full, satisfying class packed with beauty from inside and out! Let’s eat deliciously and glow beautifully! ✨ Venue: 2 mins walk from Akasaka Mitsuke Station Starts : 2pm Ends : 4pm MENU (may be changed depending on the seasons): Sakekasu Raisin Paste with Wheat Crackers: Cream cheese like taste without dairy! Very tasty, fragrant aroma with the flavor of sake! Matcha Amazake Jelly with Orange Sauce: Try this healthy and tasty jelly, so refreshing flavor! Shiratama Dango with Black Sesame Amazake Paste: Shiratama dango is mochi-like rice bolls. Served with black bean amazake paste, very nutritious and tastes like peanut butter! Shiratama Dango with Amazake Kinako: Shiratama dango is mochi-like rice bolls. Served with Amazake Kinako (Japanese soy bean powder). Sakekasu Amazake Hot Cocoa: Beauty-boosting drink with ingredients good for health and beauty!

Special Offer : We also have another class, Fermented Food Lunch Class, starting at 11am.
