Learn How To Cook Or Create Cards On July 11 At The Japanese American National Museum

The Japanese American National Museum is offering a chance for you to create ”nori-seared scallops and soba noodles,” or origami (paper folding) summer flowers, both on July 11 from 1 p.m.–3 p.m. Learn the art of Maui Beach Cafe Cuisine with Chef Mako, or make your own timeless greeting cards with summer flowers; it’s your choice! The Japanese American National Museum is located at 369 East First Street in the Little Tokyo Historic District of Los Angeles. Please call (213) 625-0414 for your reservations or more information.

If anyone can put paradise on a plate, it’s Chef Mako-Segawa Gonzales, your master sensei (teacher) for this delicious portion of the Museum’s Japanese American Cuisine Series. For just $5 for Museum members, and $9 for non-members, you can learn directly from a graduate of America’s premier culinary academy, and protege of Hawaii’s most famous chef. Chef Mako’s dishes, like “ginger-seared ahi,” are sure to tantalize your taste buds!
