Description

What you'll learn in this japanese cooking class:

Menu

Since Aiko can’t physically welcome you into her home, she wants to do so virtually!

Our online classes are designed to be special, meaningful opportunities to share cooking, culture, and connection--just like our real life experiences. We want you to cook along, and we promise there will be plenty of time for questions, conversation, and stories. It will all end with a virtual dinner party where you'll get to share in the fruits of your labor, apart, but together!

In this 2.5 hour interactive online experience Aiko will guide you through making two of her family recipes for a spectacular and satisfying meal. First, you'll learn the art of making the perfect sushi rice, which is soft, fluffy, and full of flavor. Once the rice is done, you'll bring it together with a variety of fresh vegetables into an array of delicious hand rolls. To bring your Temaki Zushi (vegetable hand rolls) to the next level, Aiko will teach you her grandson's favorite recipe: homemade sesame dipping sauce. To round out the meal, you'll learn how to make miso soup from scratch, including the traditional process of making homemade dashi to give the soup its signature flavor.

Here’s how it works:

After registration you’ll receive an email with the Zoom link, shopping list, equipment list, and recipe packet.

At the scheduled time of your class, you’ll click on the Zoom link and join your class live! Afterwards, you will receive a link to a video recording of your class that you can revisit at your leisure.
