The Food of Japan

There has to be a good reason for the increasing popularity of Japanese food. Fresh seasonal ingredients coupled with a strong focus on rich umami flavours and aromatic spices have firmly established it as a go to favourite.  Not only that but it is super healthy too. Taking influences from China- think ramen, noodles and dumplings and even European influences with ingredients such as potatoes, peppers and bread being introduced by Portuguese traders, Japanese cooks have created a raft of dishes in their own unique style. Our chef will take you on a culinary whistle stop tour with a carefully curated selection of dishes from this unique country plus plenty of tips and techniques to enable you to channel your inner “itasan”. 

Menu:

• Classic sushi
• Quick ramen
• Chicken katsu curry
• Miso braised aubergine
• Japanese rice topped with pickles, spring onions and nori flakes

After the class you will sit down and enjoy fruits of your labour with a tasty glass of wine.
