Set within the deeply nostalgic atmosphere of Otaru Central Market, this special culinary experience connects you with the ""indomitable spirit"" of the women who once supported the local economy, carrying heavy tin cans on their backs.
With the hustle and bustle of the market as your background music, an Otaru-based seafood expert will provide careful instruction on making exquisite Onigiri using local ingredients. The exquisite hand pressure that brings out the full flavor of the rice and the techniques to make the most of the ingredients are lifelong skills you can recreate at home.
The highlight of the experience is the social time after cooking. Savor your freshly pressed Onigiri while listening to stories about the history of predecessors who lived resiliently in nature's harshness, and deep food culture known only to locals. Enjoy a rich, immersive moment that goes beyond a simple cooking class, connecting you deeply with the origins of Otaru’s ""food"" and ""people.""
