Work alongside Chef Kichibei Sawatari, the head chef and owner of Chitosekan. This historic high class Japanese restaurant shares the same architecture as the Bunshokan museum in the city center.
In this cooking workshop you will learn how to prepare “takikomi gohan”, a rice dish that is made from high quality rice and a variety of ingredients. This dish combines rice, dashi, fresh vegetables and meats together to make a delicious and healthy dish with rich flavors and a delicious texture. Chef Sawatari will teach you how to prepare this dish and explain why cooking the rice in a ceramic pot (instead of rice cookers) makes the rice taste even better.
