Our November 1st cooking demo featured Sukiyaki, a comforting hot pot from Japan prepared Kansai-style in a donabe. This beloved dish balanced sweet and savory flavors through a simmering blend of soy sauce, sugar, sake, and tender beef—showcasing the warmth and harmony of Japanese recipes.
Our October 11th demo featured a two-part donabe experience — Ishikari Nabe, a salmon hot pot from Hokkaido simmered in miso-butter broth, followed by Ojiya, a soothing rice porridge created from its remaining broth. Together, they captured the spirit of Japanese home cooking: simple, nourishing, and beautifully complete.
Our September 20th demo featured a comforting Japanese recipe: Shrimp & Kabocha with Sesame Miso Hot Pot. Layered with nutty miso, earthy mushrooms, sweet kabocha, and briny shrimp, this dish shows how donabe cooking brings out balanced, seasonal flavors.
