Let's celebrate our 10th anniversary together! Yakuzen & Sake party!

Yakuzen meets Sake!

This is such an exciting collaboration with our amazing friend, Sake specialist Mariko Tajiri!

Yakuzen is the Japanese term for food therapy to prevent, maintain or improve your

health which is also called Japanese medicinal cooking.  It originally was a cuisine that blends kanpo (Chinese herbal medicine) with food.

Nagomi style Yakuzen, is all about eating local and seasonal as well as enjoying a combination of veggies to balance your body.

We will be making Otsumami (Japanese Tapas) which has amazing benefits for the summer and can even prevent hang overs ;-)

Mariko will be talking about Sake and you will get to try 3 different kinds of Sake!

To finish off the meal, we will prepare soothing Soup Rice and dessert.

We have decided to use the “Obanzai Style” which was born through domestic homecooking in Kyoto, the cooking style using local and seasonal vegetables.  Obanzai menus are, with some variations, created according to seasonality, ceremonial events and customs, taking into consideration nutritional values of the ingredients which is similar to Nagomi Style Yakuzen.

We also love the idea of the Obanzai meal, where those who prepare dishes and the diners are sitting together at the  table, sharing the dishes. Eating the same dishes together has educational and cultural value, such as preservation of traditions, and even can serve to strengthen solidarity of families or communities.

We'd love to chat with you and share in this experience!!

Doors open at 6:30!!  and the event starts at 7:00!!
