Japanese Cuisine – lecture and demonstration

Mayu HasegawaJapanese cuisine is renowned for its freshness, taste and aesthetic beauty. Join our expert chefs direct from Japan as they show audiences how to combine Japanese cooking techniques with local Australian ingredients to create delicious and healthy home-cooked dishes.

We will invite 3 chefs from the Echigo Tsumari region in Niigata prefecture, Ms Mayu Hasegawa from Echigo Matsudai Satoyama Shokudo, Ms Shizuko Mizuochi from Ubusuna no Ie and Ms Kiyomi Iwata from Ehon to Kinomi no Bijyutsukan Hachi Café. Their restaurants serve dishes made with locally grown ingredients and they work with local farmers to source fresh, seasonal produce and come up with new, creative recipes based on traditional local cuisine. In this event, the chefs will talk about Niigata’s local food and climate, and demonstrate how Australian audiences can cook Japanese-style dishes using local ingredients such as barramundi, pork and seasonal vegetables.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about Japanese home-style cooking (along with the chance to taste the dishes!).


Ms Mayu Hasegawa is a Chef at Echigo Matsudai Satoyama Shokudo, a restaurant which specialises in local, seasonal dishes from the surrounding Echigo-Tsumari region, location of the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale.
