Traditional Japanese Breakfast Cooking Class in Lake Forest!
Experience authentic Japanese home cooking through a hands-on breakfast cooking class featuring dashi, miso, koji, and other traditional Japanese ingredients.
Start your Sunday morning with a cozy Japanese breakfast experience at Taste Eatery in Lake Forest.
In this 90-minute hands-on cooking class, participants will learn practical Japanese cooking techniques while preparing a traditional-style breakfast using fermented seasonings such as miso, salt koji, and soy sauce koji.
🍚 What You'll Make
Miso Soup with Traditional Awase Dashi

Dashi-Maki Tamago
Make a soft, fluffy Japanese rolled omelet seasoned with dashi and koji, served with grated daikon and soy sauce koji.
Steamed Salt-Koji Salmon with Shiso
Learn how salt koji can be used as a traditional fermented seasoning and prepare tender salmon using a gentle steaming technique.
Haiga-Mai Rice

Koji Amazake
Finish with a naturally sweet fermented rice drink, with optional matcha.
There will also be an optional tasting of natto with soy sauce koji and ama koji for those interested in exploring more of Japan's fermented food culture.
👩🍳 A Truly Hands-On Experience
This is not a demonstration-only class. Participants cook together in small teams of 2–3 people at their own station, practice the techniques, and then sit down to enjoy the Japanese breakfast they've prepared.
The class is also a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning with a friend, partner, or fellow food lover.
