Our November 1st cooking demo featured Sukiyaki, a comforting hot pot from Japan prepared Kansai-style in a donabe. This beloved dish balanced sweet and savory flavors through a simmering blend of soy sauce, sugar, sake, and tender beef—showcasing the warmth and harmony of Japanese recipes.

Fresh salmon, seasonal vegetables, and sushi rice come together in this colorful chirashi bowl, inspired by Japanese recipes that celebrate balance and simplicity. A bright yuzu-ponzu dressing and toasted sesame seeds finish the dish, making it light, nourishing, and full of umami—perfect for enjoying sushi flavors at home.
