Izakayas dot the streets of Tokyo, welcoming visitors with the promise of sake and delicious snacks. In this class, Kanako Koizumi will teach you how to recreate some of these dishes in your own home. You’ll learn about the history of the izakaya as you taste a selection of her favorite sakes. You’ll make daikon simmered in dashi with ground chicken and aburaage (fried beancurd); chicken karaage (fried chicken bites); potato salad with aji tama (seasoned soft-boiled egg); atsuage (fried tofu with cheesy miso topping); and ochazuke (rice bowl with broiled salmon, pickled radish, tempura, and hot tea).
