Are you attending IACP Annual Conference, New York, this March-April? Please come to celebrate the pre-opening dinner at Hiroko’s Kitchen. I am preparing Kaiseki dinner – Kaiseki dinner prepared in American Kitchen using American ingredients.

max. 12 guests
March 29, Thursday

Kaiseki is an elaborate, formal Japanese meal in which about eight to ten dishes are served sequentially in individual small bowls and plates. I will produce fork and knife friendly Kaiseki dinner – five courses – using ingredients available and familiar in America. During the meal I will explore with you the structure, meaning and beauty of this special form of dinner. Some raw seafood included. It is a delightful and fun culinary journey held at my modern New York apartment.
