Japanese Cooking Class: Shojin Ryori (Vegan Buddhist Monk Food)
Online Event
Join for shojin-ryori. Shojin-ryori is a style of cuisine prepared by Buddhist monks according to traditional preparation methods. It focuses on the use of seasonal ingredients and no animal products, so these recipes are completely vegan. For this class you will be making three quintessential shoji-ryori dishes: kenchin-jiru (vegetable and tofu soup), gomadofu (a custard-like sesame dish), and nasu-dengaku (roasted eggplant with a red miso glaze). This cooking class is part of the Beyond Tokyo series. Beyond Tokyo is brought to you by The Japan-America Society of Washington DC for Sakura Matsuri 2021 – Year in Bloom. $20 for class access. Live and online, Friday, September 10th, 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. ET. For more information or to register, please click here.
