As part of Foo Foo Fest 2018, the Japan-America Society of Northwest Florida (JASNWFL) is presenting “Tastes of Japan,” a five-night tour of Japanese cuisine, Nov. 5-9 at SoGourmet in downtown Pensacola.

Each night will be centered around a unique theme focusing on a different aspect of Japanese food and drink, with cooking demonstrations and interesting trivia about each dish.

Friday, Nov. 9 closes out the week with a “Sushi Workshop.” Learn the ins and outs of making your own sushi, from vinegaring rice to rolling makizushi, temaki and onigiri. Don’t worry — there will be plenty of professionally made sushi to enjoy while you learn. Admission is $45 per person, or $40 for JASNWFL members. (Enter promotional code "JASMEMBER" when ordering from Eventbrite to receive the discount. Membership will be verified prior to the event.)

Each dinner will take place from 6-8 p.m. at SoGourmet, 407 S. Palafox St., in the upstairs demonstration kitchen.

Admission includes dinner and one complimentary beer or wine drink, plus a special souvenir to take home. Those who purchase tickets for all five nights will receive a bonus $20 gift certificate to a local Japanese restaurant.
