Begin by creating tempura from scratch using seasonal ingredients. Under the guidance of skilled instructors, you'll master the techniques to achieve that perfect light, crispy texture. Enjoy your freshly fried tempura on the spot, accompanied by a traditional dipping sauce and instruction on Japanese dining etiquette. With meticulously prepared rice and premium toppings — available in Halal, Vegan, or Kosher variations — you'll learn how to craft elegant nigiri and sushi rolls. The experience is both educational and joyful, led by passionate culinary professionals. Conclude with a special graduation ceremony, where you'll receive a personalised certificate as a keepsake of your culinary journey through Japan. Ideal for discerning travellers, food lovers, and cultural explorers, this refined workshop promises not just a meal, but a memory — one to savour long after your journey ends. ※Ingredients (toppings) may vary depending on the season ※Photo for illustrative purposes only
