The soba\u2019s nutty, earthy flavor contrasted beautifully with the sweetness of the tomatoes and the briny bite of the caviar, creating a symphony of textures and flavors. The main course was venison from Fukui Prefecture, served with a tangy framboise sauce and red currants. The venison\u2019s depth of flavor was enhanced by the fruity sauce, while the currants added an unexpected burst of tartness, tying the dish together. <strong>Each course was thoughtfully crafted to highlight local ingredients, with the option to pair exquisite wines carefully selected to complement the flavors.

A local instructor arrived at our machiya and guided us to the kitchen, where we prepared traditional dishes using local ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The star of the class was Mikuni\u2019s renowned sweet shrimp, prized for their tender texture and natural sweetness. We also worked with Sannenko shallots, grown in the sandy soils of the Sanrihama Dunes and celebrated for their crisp texture and mild flavor.<\/strong> Another ingredient was <em>momi-wakame<\/em>, a local seaweed hand-rubbed and sun-dried to preserve its briny, umami-rich flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"751\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"107641\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/22181020\/MikuniMinato_cooking-class_107.jpg\" alt=\"The detail of a sweet shrimp\" class=\"wp-image-107641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/22181020\/MikuniMinato_cooking-class_107.jpg 751w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/22181020\/MikuniMinato_cooking-class_107-367x500.jpg 367w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 751px) 100vw, 751px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"722\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"107642\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/22181021\/MikuniMinato_cooking-class_058.jpg\" alt=\"Cooking class at Mikuniminato\" class=\"wp-image-107642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/22181021\/MikuniMinato_cooking-class_058.jpg 722w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/22181021\/MikuniMinato_cooking-class_058-353x500.jpg 353w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 722px) 100vw, 722px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Together with the instructor, we prepared several dishes that were as delicious as they were steeped in tradition. <strong>One standout was <em>shio-iri<\/em>, a local fish first boiled in salt water with the same density as seawater, then roasted to enhance its flavor. The simplicity of the dish allowed the natural flavors of the fish to shine.<\/strong> We also made crispy sweet shrimp katsu, served with tartar sauce made from marinated Sannenko shallots. The shallots\u2019 tangy punch paired perfectly with the shrimp\u2019s sweetness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For an unexpected treat, we made caramelized <em>kombu<\/em>, crispy seaweed coated in a sweet glaze and topped with crushed almonds. The combination of saltiness and sweetness delighted the palate in a surprising and satisfying way. <strong>To accompany these dishes, we cooked freshly steamed rice topped with <em>momi-wakame<\/em> flakes, whose umami richness elevated the simple rice. <\/strong>For dessert, we made <em>warabi mochi<\/em>, a soft, jelly-like treat dusted with nutty barley powder \u2014 a regional twist on the classic soybean-covered version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"652\"

class, I felt a deep connection to the food we were preparing. <strong>It wasn\u2019t just about cooking; it was about understanding the story behind each ingredient and learning techniques passed down through generations.<\/strong> <strong>The entire experience was as much about the culture as it was about the cuisine, offering us a deeper appreciation for the people and traditions of this
