Hungry to learn more about Japan?

A TASTE OF CULTURE culinary arts program combines spicy tidbits of food lore with practical tips and skill-building lessons on how to prepare Japanese food. Programs offer a unique opportunity for foreign residents and visitors from overseas to explore and enjoy Japan's culture through its food.

Instruction is in English. Programs are conducted in A Taste of Culture's home-style kitchen, fully equipped for teaching traditional Japanese cooking. Programs are offered in both TOKYO and OSAKA.

During the summer of 2008, A Taste of Culture will be scheduling a limited number of cooking workshops and market tours in response to small GROUP REQUESTS ONLY. The earliest opportunity to schedule a program is AFTER June 10. Once a program has been scheduled in response to a group request, it will appear on the Calendar page of this website and remaining spaces in that scheduled program will be open for on-line registration by others.

For pricing and registration details, see the PROGRAMS Summer 2008 page. To learn more about scheduling a private program or tour, click on Customized Programs.
