# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Japanese Home Cooking Class: Miso & Sake Lees Marinated Black Cod and Miso Soup - $85
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 09 May, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 09 May, 2026 at 02:30 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: Discover the depth and nourishment of Japanese fermentation in this hands-on cooking experience.

In this small-group class, you’ll explore sake lees (sake kasu) and miso — traditional fermented ingredients that bring rich umami and natural nutrition to everyday Japanese home cooking.

Together, we’ll prepare a dish inspired by classic flavors: sake lees–marinated black cod, paired with Takikomi Gohan — a comforting rice dish where each grain is gently cooked with seasonal ingredients to absorb deep, layered flavor.

A vegan option is available using sake lees and miso-marinated mushrooms, making this experience accessible to different dietary preferences.

As part of the class, you’ll also create your own sake lees & miso seasoning blend (approx. 8 oz) to take home — a versatile, gut-friendly base you can use for marinades, soups, and vegetables in your daily cooking.

This class is designed to be approachable, grounding, and meaningful — an opportunity to reconnect with real food, traditional techniques, and more mindful ways of nourishing yourself.

 1. Miso Soup from Scratch
    Made with kombu & dried sardines, seasonal vegetables, mushrooms, and a secret ingredient for deeper aroma and flavor.

 2. Seasonal Vegetable Salad with Japanese Aromatics
    A refreshing salad featuring seasonal vegetables plus Shiso leaf & Myoga (Japanese ginger), finished with ponzu-based dressing.

 3. Black Cod Takikomi Gohan (Seasoned Rice Dish)*
    Rice cooked with miso & sake lees marinated black cod, burdock root, carrots, dashi, and soy sauce koji.
    *Vegan option: Sake lees & miso marinated mushrooms will be used instead of fish while still creating a deeply savory takikomi rice.

 4. Hand-Whisked Matcha Amazake Latte (Iced)
    Whisk your own premium matcha using a chasen and pour it over a base of Koji Amazake and plant-based milk.

BONUS TAKE-HOME
Each participant will also have the option to make approximately 8 oz of a sake lees & miso seasoning mixture to take home.
