Katei Ryori: Japanese home cooking
with Jem

Step into the heart of Japanese culture through one of its most cherished traditions—home-cooked meals. In this class, we celebrate the simplicity, balance, and seasonal beauty that define washoku (Japanese cuisine). Each dish on today’s menu reflects the flavors of everyday life in Japan—nourishing, comforting, and crafted with care.

We'll be following the traditional ichiju-sansai style of meal preparation, which includes a comforting soup (ichiju) and three flavorful side dishes (sansai), served alongside rice and pickles. This balanced approach brings together variety and harmony, while embodying the essence of Japanese home cooking (katei ryori). You'll be guided through essential ingredients and techniques and then enjoy the meal together - just like at a Japanese family table.

Menu:

  •  Ginger pork (shoga yaki)
  •  Simmered aubergine (nasu no nibitashi)
  •  Sesame green beans (ingen no goma ae)
  •  Japanese pickles (kouno mono)
  •  Rice and miso soup
