Traditional Japanese cooking often relies on animal-based dashi stock made from bonito fish.
Kasaneni(重ね煮), which you'll learn in this class is different — the vegetables themselves create the depth of flavor.
No animal-based stock needed.
Experience this Japanese vegetable cooking technique - a layered vegetable cooking method rooted in Yin-Yang balance.

Vegan friendly plant-based dashi miso soup
Tofu steak with vegetable sauce
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.

I grew up in Nara, and now live in Shiga, near Kyoto, with my husband and our Golden Retriever SUN, who loves welcoming guests. For over ten years, I taught Japanese home cooking in Kyoto and cooked with thousands of international guests. Since 2015, I have been an instructor of Kasane-ni — a simple, healthy, and delicious Japanese layered cooking method. Meeting people from around the world through food brings me joy, and I hope to share that warm experience with you.
