Japanese sauces and basic dishes with Umami
Washoku, or traditional Japanese cuisine, is based around five essential ingredients referred to as “sa-shi-su-se-so”, which are used to create distinctly Japanese flavors. The five ingredients are sugar (sa), salt (shi), vinegar (su), soy sauce (se), and miso (so), which may be combined with dashi broth, sake, and spices to make a variety of sauces and condiments.
Japanese condiments and sauces offer a unique flavour not found in any other cuisine. Homemade sauces are the secret to delicious Japanese foods at home. The art to understanding and cultivating the most authentic Japanese sauces and knowing when, where and how to use within each dish is what separates a good dish from a great, authentic, mindful and nourishing dish.
In this sessions, you will not only learn what the staple Japanese sauces are, but also learn how to make them alongside some quintessential Japanese dishes in this interactive cooking class.

An ingredients list and instructions will be sent to all participants ahead of the offering in addition to a beautifully curated Umami Kit straight from Japan.
