Seasonal. Bespoke. Intimate.
It's the sacred season of shinmai—newly harvested rice, pristine and fragrant. We’ll honor this humble grain with a musubi masterclass, sear Spanish mackerel over rice straw flame, and journey to Itoshima to explore the craft of brewing, Japan’s most essential seasoning, soy.
As maples blaze and air turns crisp, we’ll savor fall’s vibrant flavors—tai sea bream, yuzu, persimmons, and matsutake mushrooms. This session’s outing is a rare treat: we’ll journey to the Ariake Sea and board a boat to witness how Japan’s finest nori is grown and harvested.

We’ll stroll hillsides, splash in streams, and wade in tidal pools to gather wild mountain vegetables. In a seasonal masterclass, we’ll collect dried silvergrass to transform iinto elegant, handmade Japanese brooms — tools that bring beauty and intention to the everyday.
In this flower-viewing season, celebratory sea bream is at its peak and tender kinome leaves unfurl. We’ll gather spring’s earliest treasures, craft delicate temarizushi, and enjoy a blossom-viewing picnic beneath a soft canopy of cherry trees — fleeting beauty, savored slowly.
Abundance defines this season of prime foraging. Slip on your boots for a trek to gather bamboo shoots, bracken ferns, fuki stems, and the tender fronds of peppery sansho. We’ll also travel to Ureshino for a contemporary tea ceremony set amid the manicured tea fields.
Through the lens of tea, a culture is revealed. We’ll brew, cook, and craft cocktails with Japan’s revered green teas. At a small estate of heirloom zairai trees, we’ll pick and roast the season’s first tender leaves by hand. Ceremony and seasonality converge in every cup.
In early summer the flora is lush.. Edible flowers and wild berries abound. We’ll gather vibrant shoots with a local herbalist for a hands-on masterclass in medicinal plants. Craft seasonal cordials and natural skincare and bring the healing essence of Mirukashi home with you.
