​

Join us for a special session focused on one of Japan's most comforting one-bowl meals, oyako donburi! You'll learn to create this dish of tender chicken and sweet onions, simmered in a savory dashi-based sauce, all held together by a gently cooked egg and served over a warm bed of rice.

​

To complement this satisfying meal, we'll be creating a side of tangy daikon pickle. We'll also be making a refreshing bubbly matcha lassi, a drink that perfectly balances the earthy notes of matcha with the creamy tang of yogurt.

​

This class, led by our Japanese food expert Debra Samuels, will be offered virtually with unlimited seating. For the first time ever, we will be hosting a special in-person session in Denver where we can accommodate up to 10 JASC Members. Cook alongside fellow Japanese food lovers!

親子丼は、鶏肉と甘い玉ねぎを出汁のきいた甘辛いタレで煮込み、卵でふんわりととじた、日本を代表する家庭料理です。この特別クラスでは、心温まる一品「親子丼」の作り方を学びます。

​

さらに、この親子丼と相性抜群の爽やかな「大根の漬物」と「バブリー抹茶ラッシー」を作ります。このラッシーは抹茶のほろ苦さとヨーグルトのクリーミーな酸味が絶妙に調和した、新しいドリンクです。

​

このクラスは、デブラ・サミュエルズ先生の指導のもと、定員無制限のオンライン形式で開催されます。さらに、今回は初めて対面セッション (10人限定）も同時開催し、料理好きの仲間と一緒に調理を楽しんでいただけます。
