The Japanese Culinary Center welcomes Master Sushi Chef Chef Eiji Ichimura to conduct educational Japanese cooking classes. The cooking classes are offered to both professionals and consumers who are excited to learn about the proper ways to cook authentic Japanese food.
We hope to conduct several more classes in the future, featuring various other products with Chef Eiji Ichimura.
This first series of 2 classes (please sign up for either the 11am class or the 1:30pm class), we will be featuring “NIGIRI-ZUSHI”. Nigiri sushi (or zushi) appears very simple, but there are many intricacies to be learned and perfected, such as rice preparation, or “shari”. Along with the shari, we will pick six different ingredients (neta), all from Japan.
Please do not miss this opportunity to have a truly great and memorable experience.
