Learning Wisdom of
Japanese Fermented Foods for Cooking
A unique and important point to the class is that you will learn, not only how to cook Japanese but gain a lecture at the beginning of the class about Japanese seasonings. Since Fukuko has a certified sake sommelier and fermented food master, she is happy to share all her knowledge of Japanese food culture with the attendants. The session makes you cook Japanese food much easier than you thought. Japanese people love to use seasonal ingredients and fermented ingredients, which are very tasty, but also have an impact on our health and wellbeing, contributing to a long, healthy life, that may just be that "eye-opening" experience for you.
Let's cook
Seven Healthy
Japanese Home-style Dishes
Let's enjoy to cook Japanese home-style dishes using seasonings you just learned and seasonal fresh ingredients.
The class is hands-on, couple with demonstrations. You will prepare 7 kinds of Japanese dishes including a main dish from beef, chicken or seafood accompanied with various vegetable side dishes. Even though those are simple cooking procedures, you will find great results that you’ve never tasted in Japanese restaurants.
*Simple prep works will be done ahead. Enjoy only the highlights of the cooking procedures.
