Full description

This is a 4-hour experience from Chiang Mai, built around Mae Hia Fresh Market. It is run by FERMENT SPACE COOKING CO., LTD., an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Japanese cooking classes usually build a meal around dashi, the kombu and bonito stock that sits under miso soup, simmered dishes and noodle broths, and then one or two headline dishes: rolled sushi or nigiri, gyoza, tempura, okonomiyaki, or a bento box. Wagashi classes make the seasonal sweets served with tea from sweet bean paste. Most classes run two to three hours in a home kitchen or a small studio, and vegetarian versions replace the bonito with a kombu-shiitake dashi. You eat what you make, and Japanese teachers are precise about technique.

Pickup is offered from Starbucks Nimmanhemin Soi 9, Imm Hotel Tha Phae and Breakfast Club; the exact spot and time are agreed with FERMENT SPACE COOKING CO., LTD. once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.

The price covers Instructor, Market Visit, Collect fresh eggs from the farm, Community interaction and Authentic local teaching. It does not cover Drop-off transport, Suana access and Ice bath access, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

FERMENT SPACE COOKING CO., LTD. sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with FERMENT SPACE COOKING CO., LTD. before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Frequently Asked Questions

FERMENT SPACE COOKING CO., LTD. sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed.
The price does not cover drop-off transport, suana access and ice bath access. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Yes, if you say so when you book rather than on the day. Fish sauce and shrimp paste are in almost every Thai dish, so vegetarian, vegan and shellfish allergies need to be named specifically; the teacher swaps in soy sauce and salt and the food is still good. Halal versions exist at several schools and are worth asking for by name.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
