메뉴

★ Premium Teriyaki Chicken

Teriyaki chicken is a classic Japanese home-style dish. It is known for its sweet and savory flavor and shiny glaze. The sauce is made with soy sauce, sake, and mirin. Soy sauce gives a rich, salty taste. Sake adds depth and removes any strong meat smell. Mirin gives gentle sweetness and a glossy finish. In Japanese, “teriyaki” means shiny and grilled or cooked. This balance of sweet and salty flavors is very typical of Japanese cuisine.

★ Basic Dashi stock

Dashi is the basis of Japanese cuisine. The taste of Japanese food is determined by whether or not this dashi can be made deliciously. We will make authentic dashi together using kombu (kelp) and dried bonito flakes.

★ Miso-soup

Once you have made a good dashi broth, use it to make miso soup. Miso soup is atypical home-style Japanese dish that can be eaten in every home. Here, too, we use Nagoya's famous red miso.

★ Japanese Rolled Omelet

Omelette is also a very famous dish in Japan. It is made in a special square frying pan. It is a little difficult to roll them nicely, but let's try it with the instructor!

★ Namasu

Namasu is a Japanese salad of thinly sliced daikon radish and cattots lightly pickled in sweet vinegar.

★ Onigiri Rice balls

We will make onigiri (rice balls), a favorite of both children and the elderly. Onigiri can be made with a variety of ingredients such as salmon flakes, kelp, tuna, etc. We will also teach you how to make beautiful triangles!
