Demonstration: The Secrets of Recipe-Free Japanese Cooking by Picklestone
On June 29th and June 30th, Tortoise General Store welcomes Tomonori 'Tomo' Tanaka, designer of Picklestone, to hold a demonstration titled 'The Secrets of Recipe-Free Japanese Cooking.'
It will be an excellent opportunity for people to learn the benefits and convenience of using Picklestone to achieve the authentic taste of Japanese food.
In the first half of the demonstration, Tomo will share how to:
- Prepare katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) and konbu (kelp) broth.
- Utilize soy sauce effectively.
- Combine bonito and kelp broth with soy sauce to create traditional Japanese pickles.
After the demonstration, we will sample essential Japanese dishes, including pickles, osuimono (clear soup), and onigiri (rice balls) provided by Onigiri sun in Little Tokyo.
Please join us in developing a deeper understanding of the essence of Japanese cuisine and how to approach making Japanese food at home without a recipe!
