Onigiri Making with Locally Grown Tako Rice and a Matcha Experience at Masugataya Ryokan

Back to this experience's highlights https://narita-beyond.jp/en/activity/masugataya-onigiri At Masugataya Ryokan, nestled in the peaceful town of Tako, Chiba Prefecture, we offer special cultural programs for our guests and visitors to the area, allowing them to enjoy hands-on experiences of traditional Japanese culture. 1. Experience with the Rare Brand Rice “Tako Rice” Tako Rice, a premium brand rice that Chiba takes pride in, was once even called a “phantom rice” due to its rarity and exceptional quality. Enjoy a luxurious moment by shaping freshly cooked, fluffy rice into onigiri (rice balls) with your own hands and savoring their rich flavor and texture. 2. A Taste of Wabi-Sabi with Tea and Sweets After making your onigiri, take a quiet moment to enjoy seasonal Japanese sweets along with a bowl of matcha that you whisk yourself. It's a chance to feel the spirit of Japanese hospitality. Why not try making your own onigiri using Tako’s renowned “phantom rice”? Holding the freshly steamed, sweet and tender rice in your hands, you’ll discover the depth and simplicity of Japanese food culture. After the onigiri, relax with a cup of matcha and traditional sweets. This experience is popular not only with international visitors but also with families and group travelers. Take home the “delicious heart” of Japan as a memory of your journey.
