The basis of food is “soybean”. Tofu is made from squeezed soymilk after mashing and boiling soybeans. A lot of nutrition remains in the pomace that squeezes plenty of soy beans. Japanese people do not mix fried okara with soup stock and eat tofu as it is, fry it up, make it deep fried, freeze it tofu, etc. I ate protein every day as a soy dish. For Japanese people, miso soup using miso made from soybeans, and cold sushi and tofu dishes with soy sauce made from soybeans are the basic home cooking that is essential. It is a course where you can enjoy the basics of Japanese cuisine by making tofu that can be said to be a synonym for Japanese cuisine and tasting a variety of processed soybean dishes.

[Plan for groups of 20 or more] This plan is suitable for group tours, as it is a simple dressing session, and the entire process from meeting to returning takes 3 hours. Kimono is popular among foreigners, but in reality, most people don't want to wear it for that long, and the majority of people are satisfied with just taking a quick photo in a kimono at a photo spot in Asakusa. This plan is recommended for busy guides who take photos in kimono at tourist spots in Asakusa in the morning, eat lunch, and then move on to the next step. (Example) Group of 30 people 10:00-10:40 Kimono selection and dressing 10:40-12:40 Stroll around Asakusa 12:40 Return Up to 60 people can be accommodated.
