Fermented Food tour -Secret of Japanese long lives-
Discover the heart of Japan’s fermented delicacies—vinegar, miso, soy sauce, and sake—on this immersive walking tour near the Kyoto Imperial Palace. In the days before the Meiji Restoration, this historic area was home to purveyors of the Imperial Household, and you’ll visit one such long-established shop still thriving today.
Your WAK JAPAN’s attendant will guide you through centuries of culinary wisdom, tracing the story of koji, the vital microbe behind many of Japan’s most cherished foods. Visit artisanal vinegar, miso, and soy sauce makers, and end the tour with a refined sake tasting featuring varieties of sake.
A thoughtful gift of miso and soy sauce includes a flavorful memory of this enriching and healthful Kyoto experience.
