Cooking Class - Japanese Yakitori

Experience the beauty of authentic Japanese cuisine and learn how to best showcase its brilliance.

In this hands-on class with Chef Andrew, you'll get to experience the beauty of a traditional Japanese delicacy: yakitori.

Chef Andrew will go over how to approach cooking with simplicity and quality in mind while walking you through the steps to creating yakitori, from butchering whole chickens to cooking over Japanese binchō-tan charcoal. Yakitori literally means “grilled chicken,” but the simple name doesn’t begin to describe the variety, complexity, and cultural significance of Japan’s favorite grilled meat. These small but elegant skewers of chicken are the epitome of Japanese barbecue.

Guests are welcome to purchase wine and beer from the venue.

Simple chicken skewers are the staple of many backyard barbecues. Chef Andrew throws this staple appetizer/main dish on its head. Starting with locally sourced chickens and then dissecting that chicken to render every usable portion, ends with cooking the skewers over a 1200 degree pen flame. Some closely held to the vest sauces some traditional Japanese pairings only add to the experience. Chef Andrew and his partner work well together, moving effortlessly around a tiny kitchen space, each knowing their part, knowing the other's next move before they do it. They are personable, approachable and willing to talk about flavor profiles, sauces and cooking techinques.
