Is Japan on your bucket list of world travels? Tonight's chef, Thomas Lechner—CEO & owner of Washoku Tours —will guide you through the preparation of three dishes inspired by a beloved Japanese TV series, Midnight Diner while also sharing about his life in Japan and opportunities to help you experience the culture and beauty of this amazing country.
Our main course is Tonjiru (豚汁), a comforting pork miso soup that’s the only item on Master’s set menu. We’ll begin with Asari no Sakamushi (あさりの酒蒸し), Japanese sake-steamed clams, a dish that evokes the simplicity and depth of the diner’s offerings. Finally, we’ll prepare Chicken Cheese Katsu (ささみチーズカツ), a crispy and satisfying dish that can be enjoyed as either an appetizer or a main course.
Whether you're a fan of the show or simply intrigued by Japanese cuisine, this class offers a chance to dive deep into the flavors and stories that make Midnight Diner a culinary and cultural treasure.
