Meet the Okudosan:
You will use an "Okudosan"—a traditional Japanese wood-fired clay stove (kamado)—to cook. This method is rarely practiced today, offering a truly authentic, time-honored experience.


Engage All Five Senses: The process is a full sensory journey:
See the raw grain and the glowing fire.
Hear the crackle of the wood and the rice bubbling in the iron pot.
Smell the sweet, earthy aroma of the cooking rice and woodsmoke.
Touch the firewood and the smooth bamboo chopsticks.
Taste the unparalleled flavor of rice cooked over an open fire.
