1st Guest Chef

Monday, tomorrow - June 8th - we will have our first guest chef in-house. Makoto Yoshino, originally from Kobe Japan & now living in Portland Oregon, will be in the kitchen making Japanese curry.
This is a dish in the comfort food category for millions of Japanese. It is not to be confused with Indian curry. Savory, like stew, filled with potatoes, carrots & a medley of mild sauces, locals enjoy it warm over Japanese rice.
Curry was introduced to Japan during the late 1800's and the dish was modified to a milder form than its Indian cousin and made widely available in the 1960s. It is now so widely consumed that it is often called a national dish in Japan.
Monday's selected entree will be the most popular variety - a beef curry served over haiga rice.
Come and enjoy --either a known favorite or a new taste sensation.
