Edomae Style Japanese Cuisine

Learn to prepare vegan and vegetarian Hosomaki (thin roll) sushi rolls, prepare and season Japanese sushi rice, and make sushi vinegar. You will also learn about Edomae style Japanese cuisine, Japan's original fast food. These bite-size pieces of fish atop vinegared rice, which could then be quickly served to passing travelers, was the idea of a sushi chef from Edo, which is now called Tokyo. Chef Yana will also demonstrate how to sharpen Japanese knives, and you will have the opportunity to develop your knife skills to cut vegetables.  You will take home three sushi rolls, some side dishes (like edamame and pickled veggies), and your new Japanese knife skills to prepare more delicious Edomae style Japanese cuisine at home!

Students must wear closed toed shoes and long pants, and may bring their favorite apron.
