Discover the Beauty of Japanese Dining Culture

In Japan, dining is more than simply enjoying a meal.

It is a quiet expression of respect, harmony, gratitude, and seasonal beauty.

For many international travelers, Japanese cuisine is unforgettable.

Yet understanding the culture behind the table makes the experience even more meaningful.

Our Japanese Table Manners Experience – Beginner Course invites you to discover the traditions and philosophy that have shaped Japanese dining for centuries.

Guided by Eriko Fukumoto, a former Imperial Hotel professional and Japanese dining etiquette instructor, you will experience Japanese hospitality in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Before lunch, one of Tankuma’s chefs will demonstrate how traditional dashi is prepared.

Guests will taste both kombu and bonito broth while learning why this delicate flavor is considered the foundation of Japanese cuisine.

During the meal, you will discover the essentials of Japanese table manners, including:

• How to hold traditional Japanese bowls and dishes

• The meaning behind Japanese dining etiquette

Throughout the experience, English interpretation is provided by a former English teacher, allowing international guests to relax and fully enjoy every moment.

The experience takes place in an elegant private dining room with Western-style seating, so guests can remain comfortably seated without removing their shoes.

More than learning etiquette, this is an opportunity to experience the spirit of Japan through cuisine, craftsmanship, hospitality, and meaningful human connection.

Whether this is your first visit to Japan or your fifth, we hope this experience will deepen your appreciation of Japanese culture and leave you with memories that last long after your journey ends.
