Experience a Traditional Japanese Breakfast Cooking Class in Lake Forest!
We are hosting a small, hands-on cooking class this December focused on the art of "Ichiju Sansai" — the traditional Japanese breakfast balanced for energy and gut health.
We’ll be using Koji (authentic fermentation culture) to create a meal that is gentle on digestion but packed with Umami flavor. If you want to learn how to prepare a wholesome, healing meal from scratch, come cook with me! 🍚🐟
No experience needed — we cook, have fun, and eat together!
💰 $79 per person
Only 8 seats per class — please reserve soon 💛
