Kaiseki class

Kaiseki is a series of small prepared dishes usually eaten during the New Year Holiday. I had the honor to take a class.
Tokyo cooking time is ran by a Japanese house wife and an assistant. They were so sweet and nice and had a lot of patience for those who had little cooking skills.
I'm so happy I was able to take this class because we prepared 9 small courses that packed with so much flavor. I even purchased a small pan to make tamago.
We got to cook with some of favorite ingredients like, wagyu beef and chanterelle mushrooms. I learned how to make dashi and catepillar a cucumber. Whaaaat!
The plating was so detailed (like mountains) that it made rethink my own plating all together.

Can't wait to practice what I've learned.
