  • Kikunoi is a long-established Kyoto restaurant. The owner is so particular about rice that he even appeared in a commercial for Yamagata's Tsuyahime rice, and worked hard to get "washoku" (traditional Japanese cuisine) registered as a World Intangible Heritage. The rice Kikunoi selects is the special "Tsuyahime Tawawa Rice," a special variety of "Tsuyahime." This rice is special and cannot be purchased at regular rice stores. This time, we will be cooking rice with this Tsuyahime Tawawa Rice and enjoying it with a meal of one soup and three side dishes, the essence of Japanese cuisine.
  • You might be wrong. Rice is cooked the opposite way nowadays!
  • Delicious rice has become all the rage recently, but do you cook it without even thinking about it? In the past, rice was washed by squeezing the grains together, but nowadays, rice is washed, not washed! If you don't know how to cook rice, which is the exact opposite of how it was in the past, you'll ruin your delicious rice. The key to delicious rice cooking starts with adding the water. A five-star rice master will teach you how to cook rice like that.
  • A Japanese meal of soup and three side dishes, rice balls that are delicious even when cold, and plump rice to take home as souvenirs
  • The shiny, cooked "Tawawa rice" is ready to enjoy with a bowl of soup and three side dishes. And as a surprise, our instructor for this event is five-star rice master, Professor Makino, who introduced how onigiri are delicious even when cold on NHK's "Tameshi Gatten." Let's learn how to make onigiri that are delicious even when cold using the cooked rice. After the event, you can take home some Tawawa rice as a souvenir. Plus, you'll receive a shopping voucher for a specialty knife shop at the venue.
