Let’s visit Miso & Sake Brewery
Let’s enjoy Miso soft ice cream & Omelet rice.
Scheduled program is mentioned below.

Learn about Sake brewery at “Maruishi Brewery”s direct sales store “Jouan“.
While listening to the explanation, you can choose two types of sake from four types (Daiginjo “Tokugawa Ieyasu“, seasonal sake, and two types of liqueur). Let’s taste them.
3. Let’s make Udon
【Aichi / Okazaki City】
Firstly, make dumplings from udon dough and let them rest for a while.
While letting the dumpling rest, you will listen to explanations about
1) the types of wheat,
2) how to make udon,
3) the secret of Tokugawa Ieyasu‘s longevity (he loved udon so much).
Secondly, stretch the dumplings with a cotton swab, and cut it.
You step on the laid dumplings with your feet, let them lie down for a while, then roll them out with a rolling pin.
Thirdly, you cut them with a kitchen knife or a manual udon noodle cutter and boil them.
During the time it takes to boil, you will listen to the explanation about “dashi” rich in Umami.
When it’s boiled, soak it in soup stock (with tempura, if you like).
Finally, you taste it.
