Session 2 (2022/9/5): Oranda-ni of Tai
     Tai is cooked by Mr. Takano in Dutch-style broth. Explaning about Nagasaki's Dejima Island, Mr. Takano explains how Japanese cuisine has developed by fusing Western elements as well.

     Chef Takano's original dish! This is a typical Japanese home-style dish of potato salad wrapped with Tai.

Session 4 (2022/11/8): Ushio-jiru
     Through the introduction of Ushio-jiru, which is made even with the head of Tai, Mr. Takano also introduced the Japanese culture of "mottainai," or "what a waste".

Last session (2022/12/5): Pound cake with Japanese Maccha and Saudi dates
     This is Chef Takano's original dish that is a "fusion (Yugo)" of Japanese Matcha green tea and Saudi dates. He describes it as a "friendship (Yuko) dessert" between Japan and Saudi Arabia.
