Enriching Education - Thanksgiving - Japan Style

 Japan Society announces the release of a new online workshop, Thanksgiving- Japan Style, on YouTube.

 

Give your Thanksgiving feast a Japanese spin this year with shiokoji butter-brined turkey, blistered green beans and shishito peppers, and Japanese sweet potatoes. At this online workshop, Maiko Kyogoku, owner of New York-based Japanese restaurant Bessou, will teach a variety of festive recipes that bridge cultural traditions, using ingredients perfect for the season. This year, dazzle guests at your holiday feast with a menu bursting with the flavors of Japan.

 

This is a free event. All participants will receive a recipe and ingredient list and may follow along during the workshop or simply observe.

Maiko Kyogoku (instructor). The daughter of Japanese immigrants, Maiko Kyogoku has always wanted to bring the homestyle feel of Japanese cuisine, cooking, and culture to NYC. Her background in both art and hospitality has served her well in breaking free of the constraints to meld her mother’s home cooking with the flavors and style of her NYC upbringing. The result is her restaurant, Bessou, literally translating to “home away from home.”
