Onigiri is a Japanese comfort food made from steamed rice formed into the typical triangular, ball, or cylinder shapes and usually wrapped with nori(dried seaweed). Stuffed with a a variety of fillings and flavors, these rice balls make an ideal quick snack and are a fun alternative to sandwitches for lunch.
Japanese fried chicken, karaage is made by marinating bite-size pieces of chicken in sake, soy sauce, ginger and garlic before coating them generously with potato starch. When fried, the starch turns into an ultra crispy shell encasing a flavorful juicy bite of chicken. Absolutely great with beer.
Rice is a staple food in Japan. In all most every family, there is a rice cooker. There is variety of Japanese rice brands such as Koshihikari and Hitomebore.
Miso soup is a traditional Japanese soup. It's base is "dashi" (Japanese fish stock) and Miso paste. Common added ingredients are Tofu, Green onion and deep‐fried tofu but differs by personal preference. The type of miso is different from region. In western and Easter Japan white miso is mostly used.
The Japanese tea ceremony is a centuries-old tradition closely tied to Zen Buddhist principles, and a popular way to experience Japanese culture. There are several variations on this ritual. At its base, powdered green tea (matcha) is prepared and served in accordance with strict rules. Oftentimes, wagashi (Japanese sweets) is served alongside the bitter green tea.
In this class, we will make rice balls. The ingredients used for the rice balls are tuna mayo, pickled plum, cod roe and salted kelp.
We also make Japanese fried chicken, rolled
omelet, potato salad and miso soup.
These are the menus that we usually like to eat.

★★★★★Awesome couple, very friendly and chatty, they welcomed us into their home and showed us how to make a traditional bento with four elements. We cooked each element with them and they made it super easy to get involved. The food we made was lovely and it was a nice touch to sit down with them and eat it. We felt so welcomed into your home and would love to come by again when we next visit Japan.
