About

Japan’s best street food often can be found tucked away in neighborhood izakayas, where chefs offer shareable small plates of favorite comfort foods as well as inventive and fun specialties. Izakaya are casual places where people go after work to unwind. And if you’ve seen any episode of Midnight Diner, you’ll understand they're all about good food and good company. 

Unlike sushi, ramen, or tempura restaurants that specialize and refine, an izakaya menu offers a dizzying array of choices. The dishes don’t have to make sense together, they just need to be delicious!

On the menu

  • Salmon kushiage with katsu sauce  
  • Clams with sake and miso
  • Inari bombs with tuna tataki and wasabi lime drizzle
  • Umekyu with shiso and bonito
  • Taiyaki strawberry waffles
  • Sake and beer selection

Details

  • Do not bring water bottles. Water will be provided.
  • BARN’s kitchen facility regularly uses ingredients on the FDA’s major allergens list. This class uses milk (butter), eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, wheat, soybeans, and sesame.

Materials

A $30 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, covers all the ingredients you'll need.

Class Policies

  • You must wear closed-toe shoes and tie back long hair.
  • Ages 14 and up are welcome.
