Thank you for joining me at Spring flavor in Kaiseki meal. The rules and philosophy which you have learned – five elements – during the demo. can be applied to your menu creation in any kitchen, including American, French, Italian, Asian,…but not limited to Japanese. By creating menu employing the rules and philosophy of five elements – color, taste, cooking methods – you can create the meals for your customers and family which nourished our body and mental well-being. Come back to the second part of the demonstration (I will plan it in the fall) to learn more!
