Learn to (Really) Cook Japanese Food

Where: Kyoto, Japan

Fans of Japanese food, listen carefully. Go World just pointed us towards the perfect outing for you if you're visiting the ancient (and gorgeous) city of Kyoto, and if you're wanting to take your love of Japanese food to the next level.

Organized by the Women's Association of Kyoto, visitors to Japan are given the opportunity to go into a local home and learn a new skill. Learning how to cook some Japanese food is a popular excursion, and you can also learn how to wear a kimono, fold some origami, arrange flowers or participate in a tea ceremony, all in a normal, everyday Japanese apartment.

This one-to-one experience doesn't come super-cheap, with a two-hour cooking session costing 16,000 yen ($140), but it gets cheaper if you bring a few friends with you. And for a half a day you can really feel like you're turning Japanese.

Mouth Watering....

I am forever fascinated by the way my tastes change with the seasons. If you're anything like me, you will LOVE Japanese food. It's delicious, relatively healthy, and fun to eat. The way it is prepared into cute little bite sized, and how the ingredients have been carefully selected, not only to give the best taste, but also the most optimum nutrition that your body needs. And it's low carb too! Every single food dish is an art form packed with nutrition! It's simply mouth watering and everyone will surely love.
