One of the defining characteristics of Japanese cuisine is its emphasis on umami, the rich and savoury fifth taste. Through these cooking classes, you'll delve into the techniques and ingredients that create this distinct flavour profile. Understanding the balance of umami-rich elements such as miso, soy sauce, and dashi will enable you to infuse your dishes with the authentic taste of Japan, elevating the dining experience for your guests.
