\u301019th \u201cTabete Mite Zadankai\u201d chefs Gathering\u3011<\/p>\n

Date & Time: 01\/September\/2025 (Monday) 15:00-17:00<\/p>\n

This time, we invite you to explore a unique world of art and taste\u2014a fresh perspective beyond ordinary food experiences.<\/p>\n

The theme is: Sensing the Seasonal Aesthetics of Wa (Japanese harmony) through Sight and Taste.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Part I: Painting Seasonal Landscapes with Ingredients<\/h2>\n

Traditional Japanese tableware is hard to find overseas.<\/p>\n

But with just a plain white plate, you can recreate the world of Wa with your own hands.<\/p>\n

In this session, we\u2019ll use natural ingredients to depict iconic Japanese seasonal scenes\u2014like cherry blossoms and bamboo\u2014on the plate.<\/p>\n

This is a whole new realm of culinary art: plating as if you\u2019re painting a picture.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll also cover practical techniques such as how to add the right \u201cthickness\u201d to make ingredients easier to shape and draw with, tips for ease of plating, and how to apply special materials often used in Michelin three-star restaurants.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Part II: Taste Shift? Exploring Miracle Fruit Magic<\/h2>\n

Can lemons taste sweet? Yes\u2014with the help of a magical berry called Miracle Fruit!<\/p>\n

This red berry contains a protein called miraculin, which temporarily transforms your taste perception.<\/p>\n

Foods that should be sour\u2014lemons, limes, grapefruits\u2014suddenly taste sweet and fruity.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll try a specially prepared drop-type miracle fruit designed for maximum taste-shift experience.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll explore pairing combinations using fruits, tomatoes, and traditional Japanese ingredients, to enjoy and compare the sensory differences.<\/p>\n

To top it off, we\u2019ll introduce an exclusive original dish just for this event.<\/p>\n

A creative Wagashi-inspired dessert combining Australian fruits with unexpected Japanese seasonings, enhanced by the citrusy aroma of lemon myrtle that accentuates the sweetness transformation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":268,"template":"","class_list":["post-19","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/washoku-oceania-network.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/event\/19","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/washoku-oceania-network.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/washoku-oceania-network.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/washoku-oceania-network.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/268"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/washoku-oceania-network.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
