SUMMARY:(Sold Out) Japanese Cooking Class
DESCRIPTION:Washoku\, or traditional Japanese cuisine\, was registered as an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 2013. “Wa” means Japan and also conveys harmony or peace\, while “Shoku” means food or eating; the character itself combines the meanings of “person” and “good\,” suggesting that eating nourishes both body and spirit. \nWashoku is more than Japanese food. It is a cultural tradition passed down through generations that reflects a deep respect for nature. This peaceful cuisine values simplicity and balance\, relying on thoughtful preparation rather than complicated ingredients or processes. Come join us for this 3-hour hands-on cooking class! \nLunch menu \nGrilled Miso-marinated Salmon  \nSpinach with Sasame Sauce (Goma-ae) \nBraised Burdock Root and Carrot (Kinpira) \nJapanese Root Vegetable and Tofu Soup (Kenchinjiru) \nSeasoned Rice with Shiitake Mushrooms \nKanten dessert  \n*The photo is just an image. \nRegistration \n\nEmail us at: info@islandekopantry.com\n\n\nFull name(s)\nWorkshop(s) of interest\nAllergy information\nEligibility for discounts (5 % off for senior (65+)\, student\, alumni (past attendees)\, pair (2 or more)/ 10 % off for 3 + workshops)\n\n2.
