Japanese Home Dinner at Akiko’s

Discover the flavours and delights of the Japanese culinary tradition, during a diner in a local house and learn all the secrets to whip up local specialties.

Experience Authentic Japanese Culture with a Home Dinner

Join us for a unique home dinner experience to fully immerse yourself in the rich and diverse culture of Japan. Have dinner in the home of Akiko, a French-speaking Japanese woman, to get a taste of Japanese culture and get away from the usual tourist attractions. You will have the chance to personally encounter the kindness and hospitality of Japanese culture through this exceptional experience. 

Why Choose a Dinner Experience at Home?

For those who want to delve deeper and discover the true essence of what makes Japanese culture unique, this home dinner experience is ideal. It is a chance to make enduring memories and sincere relationships with locals. There is something for everyone to enjoy in this activity, whether you are traveling alone, with a partner, or with your family.

Furthermore, what travelers typically eat in restaurants has nothing to do with a meal prepared at home. Restaurants that specialize in one particular cuisine—such as sushi, yakitori chicken skewers, tempura, soba noodles, etc.—do not offer Japanese home cuisine, which is primarily composed of fish and a variety of vegetables! It will bring Akiko great pleasure to introduce you to this rich and traditional cuisine, which includes many dishes you have probably never tried before.

Culinary Delight and Cultural Exchange

What also makes this experience special is the cross-cultural conversation that happens at the dinner table. Your host will regale you with tales and insights about Japanese customs, family life, and the meaning behind the dishes as you savor each bite. This is your chance to enquire, speak from personal experience, and have deep, cross-cultural discussions.

Akiko, beside being an extraordinary cook, has lived a well experienced life and loves to share with people. She knows French and Japanese culture and can talk about the differences in codes and values between the two countries.

Along with learning the correct way to use chopsticks, the significance of saying "Itadakimasu" before eating and "Gochisousama deshita" after finishing your meal, and other customs that make Japanese dining unique, you will also get to experience Japanese dining etiquette firsthand.
