Local Cuisine Workshop (Dango-jiru)
Cooking Class in a Traditional Japanese House! Making Oita's Local Dish 'Dango-jiru
In this cosy private cooking class, participants can learn how to make delicious 'dango noodle soup' - a traditional delicacy originating from Oita Prefecture. Under the guidance of an experienced local teacher, participants can also opt to make 'ramen' noodles or 'onigiri' (rice balls) with miso soup, as an alternative to 'dango' soup* should they wish to.
*Should you opt for an alternative to 'dango' soup, please request this at the time of booking.
Your teacher will firstly explain what 'dango' noodle soup is, and its importance for local food culture.
From then, you will be provided an apron and will start cooking step-by-step under the teacher's guidance (ingredients provided).
Once complete, you will be free to sit down, relax and soak up the flavours of your creation - made extra authentic by the addition of a local seasoning, 'yuzukosho' (yuzu pepper).
This is a fantastic opportunity to learn about Beppu's rich, unique food culture and enjoy some great food, as well as a chance to meet and talk with a Beppu local*.
*An English speaking interpreter is available on request for no additional fee.
