For two · MARKETS
Good market tours fill up weeks ahead and the sunrise slots go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Meet your English or Japanese-speaking instructor near Kyoto’s center for a two-hour sushi class. Visit Nishiki Market to watch fish preparation, then make vinegar rice, nigiri, temari, temaki, dashi, and miso soup. Finish with dessert, coffee, and optional sake or beer.
“Leuk om zelf sushi te maken. Snelle en toegankelijke workshop.”
Spend three hours exploring Chennai’s wedding-shopping district with a local guide. Visit Pondy Bazaar, Panagal Park’s flower market, silk saree and jewelry shops, utensil stores, and Ranganathan Street. Snacks and tea or coffee are included, with optional hotel pickup and private groups capped at 15.
“Very personal attention and friendly. Never pushed me and very helpful with my purchases including getting good prices”
Shop for seafood at Jimbaran Market with guides such as Eka, Luky, or Komang, then have your catch grilled over coconut husk coals beside Jimbaran Bay at sunset. Choose hotel pickup or a meeting point, but budget separately for seafood, cooking, drinks, and restaurant fees.
“I didn't go to the fish market l went to a seafood restaurant in that area and picked out all my seafood and got it grilled at that restaurant and it was delicious 😋”
At Sushi Gastronomy Lab in central Kyoto, you’ll make three styles of sushi, vinegar rice, dashi, miso soup, and tamagoyaki in a 90-minute class for up to 10 people. Fresh fish is bought that morning, vegetarian options are available with advance notice, and dessert and coffee follow the meal.
“Very nice and educational. Do it when you're in Kyoto. Family with two children on tour in Japan 2024. Next destination HiroshimaAuto-translated”
Pick a kind of night, then a place to have it.
