This lunch course offers a taste of everything from familiar seasonings used in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, and Jamaica, to those that even adults rarely try, opening up new paths of deliciousness.

The experience begins with a tasting of the 'Gentle Flavor Series' (3 types) to experience the umami of the base broth, followed by world soups made with them, appetizers, main dishes, pasta, and desserts, with recommended seasonings lined up on the table. Participants will embark on a taste adventure with an original passport to enjoy global food culture.
