Ever have Japanese Curry? Want to know how to make this dish at home? Not sure what it is?

Let us answer all your questions Feb 24th.

As shocking as this may sound, Japanese Curry Rice is just as popular to the Japanese as Sushi is. Everybody loves a good bowl of Curry Rice.

We all have had our fair share of Indian and Thai curries. But the Japanese Curry is truly unique. It is a thick and rich mixture of root vegetables and most commonly, chicken, beef or fried pork cutlet.

Using many of the standard spices making up the curry mix, the Japanese Curry is sweeter and definitely not as hot as it's Indian or Thai cousins.

Come join us and let us show you some of the chef secrets in making a killer pot of Japanese Curry.

*We will offer a vegetarian curry as an option as well.

Onigiri Time

Rice Balls. But not just any rice ball. “Onigiri”!

-おにぎり-

Rice Balls. But not just any rice ball. “Onigiri”!

Loved by Kids, Students, Adults and Grandparents.

If you’ve ever traveled to Japan, you would have seen these little triangular shaped rice balls sold at every convenient store, grocery and even at train stations. Not only is it a staple in every child's upbringing, it’s the quintessential on-the-go meal. What makes it so great is simply the RICE.

Japanese Short Grain rice is like no other and packs not only tremendous flavor and texture, but healthy nutrients to keep the body going all day.

We would like to showcase the beauty of Akita-Komachi Rice.

Come take part in this “Hands On” event where we will show you the ins and outs of making the perfect Onigiri. Little tricks here and there that will make this treat not only a Japanese favorite, but a NYC favorite as well.

Served with a hearty Japanese Miso Soup, it's perfect for a New York City winter's day.

Simple Cooking - Saba no Shio Yaki



Saba No Shio Yaki
Take Mackerel out of the package...
Dab with paper towel and place on prep tray. Drizzle some dry sake over the fillets and gently rub.
Let the sake absorb into the meat for about 5 minutes. Dab dry and sprinkle sea salt. Let rest for 20 minutes.
In the mean time, get your charcoal grill ready.
(I usually create a 4 by 10 briquette wall of charcoal down the middle of the grill. This usually gives me enough room to move stuff around and lends to great heat control)
Place fillets onto partial direct heat (skin side down) and flip after 6 minutes. Flip again after 4 minutes and get the skin nice and crispy. Remove and plate.
Garnish and serve immediately.

What can be easier... It's extremely delicious and healthy as well.
