its operation end of March 2019. We heartily appreciate you all who had our
experience courses and supported us.

Uzumi is a local dish of Fukuyama, and the name means “buried.” This dish has its origins in the Edo period (1603–1868), when the government had policies against luxurious items, including certain foods. Instead, people hid (buried) the ingredients considered luxurious under the rice, and this dish became a local cuisine. The teacher of this course will teach you about Japanese cuisine (washoku) and uzumi. Let’s enjoy this dish together! By eating this dish while enjoying the view of Fukuyama Castle, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped back into the Edo period!
Duration: 1 hour
With English Guide
The Experience Includes: Explanation of uzumi, one uzumi meal set
– You do not have to bring anything to take part in this course.
