What's the secret to good onigiri?

It comes down to the rice and a light touch. Your instructor explains how to choose and cook rice for the right texture, then shows you how to shape it firmly enough to hold together without crushing it.

Are there vegetarian fillings?

Yes. The class covers a variety of fillings, including both savory and vegetarian options.

Is the class a good fit for families?

Yes. The tour operator describes it as ideal for families as well as food lovers, and no previous cooking experience is needed.

Tamagoyaki is a Japanese rolled omelet, made by cooking thin layers of egg and rolling them into a neat block that is sliced to serve.
