You might think sushi and tempura when you think of Japanese food, but robata-yaki is also a huge part of the cuisine. It’s all of those aromatic grilled foods that taste so good with a cold Sapporo.
Roka Akor is one of the few local Japanese restaurants that actually specialize in it, and now the Scottsdale eatery is planning on teaching customers some of its secrets with Robata Grill 101, to be held from 3 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, February 21.
The cooking class will show attendees how to make marinades and prepare a variety of meat, fish, and vegetable dishes, including dry-aged bone-in ribeye. You’ll also get to sample everything and wash it all down with some of Roka Akor’s housemade infused shochu. They’ll send you home with recipes.
It’s $60 per person; call 480-306-8800 to reserve a spot.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
