About

Learn to make nama (fresh) panko to give your katsu cutlets a light and fluffy crunch. You’ll create your own curry powder and roux blocks for the tastiest, healthiest “instant” curry. Fall harvests will give us the vegetables for a batch of sweet and tangy fukujinzuke pickles, the traditional finishing touch for katsu curry.  Take home your extra panko and curry blocks for the freezer.

On the menu
  • Homemade panko.
  • Japanese curry powder and freezer curry blocks.
  • Kare raisu: Japanese curry served with rice.
  • Katsu: deep-fried panko cutlets of pork (or chicken).
  • Fukujinzuke (“lucky gods” pickle) with daikon, eggplant, lotus root, and cucumber.
