A Taste of Japan

Explore the flavors of Japan through ramen, spring rolls, hot pot and a sweet treat.

Discover the comforting flavors of Japanese cooking in this hands-on cooking class as you prepare a flavorful four-course menu.

Chef Washington will teach you the art of traditional Japanese ramen, made with springy wheat-based noodles in a chicken broth with soy and oyster sauce, along with ingredients like sake, bonito flakes, kombu and other staples of Japanese cuisine. Next, you’ll prepare a Japanese hot pot filled with shrimp, chicken, steak, pork, mushrooms and bok choy. Before the class comes to an end, you’ll make crispy wheat-based spring rolls with seasoned pork and vegetables, followed by delicate vanilla jelly. Once everything is ready, sit down and enjoy the meal together.
