About

There are tricks to making nutritious, delicious Japanese meals quickly and easily, and one of them is having a variety of sauces at the ready. These seven are the sauces that you'll always find in the instructor's refrigerator or pantry! 

As you create each sauce, you’ll sample it with a common food pairings, from noodles to tofu, seafood, meat, and vegetables. The seven-course Japanese tasting menu includes:   

  • Sunomono brine
  • Carrot wafu dressing
  • Shoyu mayo
  • Hoba-style negi miso sauce
  • Buttayaki sauce 
  • Sesame dare
  • Rayu sesame chili oil

Plus rice and green tea, of course! As you cook and eat, we’ll explore the principles of washoku, the ancient Japanese food traditions that make meal preparation fun as well as transformative for your health.
