Workshop Overview
Have you heard of miniature food? “Miniature food” refers to any items using the motif of really small versions of foods. It’s a hot topic on TV and magazines.
Miniature food is easy to enjoy, so people of all ages, from small children to grownups, can have fun with it.
Over two days of lessons, you will create a 3cm bowl of ramen, starting with the bowl.
Fashion roasted pork fillet, naruto (kamaboko/fish cake with spiral pattern), onions, noodles, soup and bowl, to make your own original miniature ramen dish.
Fashion the soup after your own preference, adding soy sauce, pork bones, miso and other elements.
These lessons are highly popular in Japan.
Lessons are taught by Mika Furuya, our first certification instructor in New York.
Also participating will be Reina Nozu, founder and director of the Miniature Food Association of Japan, specially arriving from Japan.
