Japanese Feast @ Islington HQ

Join our unforgettable Japanese cooking class and discover an eclectic mix of dishes bursting with flavor. Over the course of two hours, you’ll learn to prepare traditional miso soup using dashi powder, kombu, and premium dried shiitake mushrooms, while sharpening your knife skills to create perfect garnishes such as silken tofu, spring onion, and wakame. Transform a humble aubergine into silky nasu dengaku baked to perfection, and master the art of making gyoza, from crafting a flavorful filling to folding, frying for crispy bottoms, and steaming to perfection. You’ll also learn to balance flavors with a zesty ponzu dipping sauce and create authentic Japanese-style sticky rice. The class is hands-on, with all ingredients, equipment, and aprons provided, and you’ll work in pairs at your own cooking stations, guided by an expert chef. A digital recipe pack is included so you can recreate these dishes at home.

After cooking, take a seat at the chef’s table to enjoy your Japanese feast, featuring miso soup, aromatic pork, prawn, and cabbage gyoza, nasu dengaku with miso, sake, and mirin glaze, ponzu dipping sauce, and sticky rice, complemented by a complimentary glass of bubbles or a soft drink. Water is provided throughout, and additional drinks can be purchased from the menu. The class is designed for active participation only, so spectators are not permitted, and solo participants may be paired with another guest. The duration includes teaching demonstrations, hands-on cooking, and time to savor your meal, ensuring a fully immersive, educational, and delicious experience from start to finish.
