Looking for a unique and delicious way to spend your Saturday in the Lake Forest area?
I’m hosting a hands-on Japanese cooking class on Saturday, May 9 at 1:00 PM at Taste Eatery, where we’ll explore the rich flavors of traditional Japanese fermentation using sake lees and miso.
In this small-group class, you’ll learn how to prepare a comforting, home-style Japanese meal featuring premium black cod (with a vegan option available), along with seasonal dishes that highlight natural umami and balanced flavors.
We’ll cover how sake lees (a nutrient-rich byproduct of sake brewing) can enhance both flavor and nutrition, and how to incorporate it into everyday cooking. You’ll also make a versatile sake lees &amp; miso seasoning to take home and use in your own kitchen.
This class is designed to be relaxed, interactive, and beginner-friendly—perfect for anyone who enjoys Japanese food, is curious about fermentation, or is simply looking for a fun local experience.MENU:
1. Miso Soup from Scratch:
Made with bonito flakes &amp; dried sardines, seasonal vegetables, mushrooms, and a secret ingredient for deeper aroma and flavor.
2. Seasonal Vegetable Salad with Japanese Aromatics: A refreshing salad featuring seasonal vegetables plus Shiso leaf &amp; Myoga (Japanese ginger), finished with ponzu-based dressing.
3. Black Cod Takikomi Gohan (Seasoned Rice Dish)*: Rice cooked with miso &amp; sake lees marinated black cod, burdock root, carrots, dashi, and soy sauce koji.
*Vegan option: Sake lees &amp; miso marinated mushrooms will be used instead of fish while still creating a deeply savory takikomi rice.
4. Hand-Whisked Matcha Amazake Latte (Iced): Whisk your own premium matcha using a chasen and pour it over a base of Koji Amazake and plant-based milk.
BONUS TAKE-HOME
Each participant will also have the option to make approximately 8 oz of a sake lees &amp; miso seasoning mixture to take home.
