Turn simple rice dough into crisp, fragrant senbei (rice crackers) during a small-group workshop in Takayama. Guided by local instructors, you will grill, season, and taste your own creations—an approachable, family-friendly way to experience Japanese food culture beyond restaurants and markets.
Instead of just buying snacks as souvenirs, this experience lets you step behind the counter and become the maker. From placing the rice cracker over the heat to choosing your favorite flavors, every step is interactive and photo-worthy.
The workshop pairs perfectly with a stroll through Takayama’s old town, morning market, and Hida countryside—making it a memorable highlight on our Deep Japan tours.
This workshop is ideal for travelers who enjoy relaxed, hands-on activities that connect them with everyday Japanese life.
This senbei workshop is a relaxed, delicious way to connect with Takayama’s food culture. Add it to your Japan Deluxe Tours itinerary for a hands-on moment you will remember long after the last crunchy bite.
