Japanese Feast @ Oxford Street

Immerse yourself in the vibrant flavors of Japanese cuisine with this hands-on cooking class. In this unforgettable session, you’ll learn to create an eclectic mix of dishes, from umami-packed miso soup to velvety nasu dengaku, crispy-bottomed gyoza, and perfectly cooked sticky rice. Guided by expert chefs, you’ll use traditional dashi powder, kombu, and premium dried shiitake mushrooms to make miso soup, sharpen your knife skills to prepare delicate garnishes, and transform aubergines into a silky nasu dengaku bake. You’ll also master the art of making gyoza, from creating the flavorful filling to folding, frying, and steaming each dumpling to perfection, and learn to balance flavors in a classic ponzu dipping sauce.

During the class, you’ll also unlock the secrets to making Japanese-style sticky rice and assemble your own feast to enjoy at the chef’s table. The session includes all ingredients, equipment, and aprons, along with easy-to-follow demonstrations led by the expert teaching chef. You’ll work in pairs to recreate the dishes at your cooking stations and can either tuck into your Japanese feast on-site or pack it to take home. A digital recipe pack is provided to help you recreate these dishes at home, while a complimentary glass of bubbles or a soft drink will be available on arrival. The duration of the class covers both hands-on cooking and dining, providing a complete immersive experience of Japanese culinary techniques.
