Overview

  • Discover the authentic flavours of Hida through a hands-on Gohei Mochi-making experience at a small local speciality shop in Takayama.

    Unlike a typical cooking class, this intimate experience introduces you to the region's traditional food culture, particularly egoma (perilla seeds), a distinctive ingredient in Hida cuisine.

    Under the guidance of a local host, you'll prepare Gohei Mochi from scratch by mashing cooked rice, shaping it by hand, adding a savory-sweet sauce, and grilling it to perfection.

    Enjoy your freshly made Gohei Mochi, along with another flavour of your choice and a complimentary drink.

    With a maximum of just three participants, this experience offers a relaxed and personal opportunity to connect with local traditions through food, stories, and conversation.

    More than just making a local snack, it's a chance to experience Hida's culinary heritage first-hand.
