Menu: Seafood Chirashi Sushi, Kakiage Tempura & Matcha Experience
In this class, we will cook two popular Japanese dishes.
First, we make seafood chirashi sushi using fresh ingredients. Decorating your own bowl with various toppings is fun and easy, even for beginners.
Next, we cook crispy kakiage tempura, a traditional Japanese dish made with vegetables. You will learn the tips to fry kakiage tempura light and tasty.
After enjoying the meal together, you can also experience a Japanese tea ceremony with matcha and traditional sweets. It will be a relaxing and memorable way to enjoy Japanese culture.
Tempura (天ぷら) is a classical Portuguese dish brought to and popularized by Japan, consisting of seafood or vegetables that have been battered and deep fried. Tempura is a typical home-style cooking in Japan. It is often referred to as a representative dish to Japan. Although there are various theories, it is said that Tokugawa Ieyasu, the general of the Edo period, liked tempura so much that he allegedly died from eating too much.
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.
We start the class with seafood chirashi sushi.
First, I will introduce the ingredients, and you can try cutting the fresh fish with a knife. Then we prepare sushi rice together. After that, you can decorate your own bowl with rice and various toppings. Don’t worry, I will support you step by step, so even beginners can enjoy it.
Next, we prepare the vegetables for kakiage tempura.
After that, we fry them in oil and serve them beautifully on a plate. Then it’s photo time—you can enjoy taking pictures of the colorful dishes before eating.
Finally, we have a matcha experience.
First, we enjoy traditional Japanese sweets, and then you will try making matcha yourself. I will show you the tools and simple manners, and you can make your own bowl of matcha to enjoy.
