Embracing the Future of Japanese Cuisine
In a remarkable initiative to nurture the next generation of culinary talent, Daito Enterprises is launching a special lunch created by the students of their
Itamae Open School. This exclusive event will run from July 21 to July 31, 2026, at the renowned
Kitaohji Akasaka Saryo, offering a unique dining experience that showcases the skills and creativity of emerging chefs.
The Special Lunch Experience
The
Itamae Open School Special Lunch will be available during weekday lunch hours from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM (last order at 1:00 PM). This carefully crafted menu features high-quality ingredients sourced from across Japan, including the famous
Furano Wagyu and
Mikawa Isshiki Eel. Guests can delight in a sumptuous selection that reflects the hard work and dedication of the school's students.
While the typical price for such a meal would be 7,000 yen, this special offering is available for just 5,000 yen, allowing diners to enjoy exquisite cuisine at a remarkable value.
A Unique Culinary Journey
The
Itamae Open School was established by Daito Enterprises to address the dual challenges of preserving traditional Japanese cuisine and the shortage of skilled chefs in the industry. Students enrolled in the program benefit from hands-on training, gaining invaluable experience while working in restaurants. Under the guidance of seasoned professionals, including head chef Okamoto, they learn essential techniques, including ingredient selection, cooking methods, and customer service.
The upcoming special lunch allows students to demonstrate their culinary skills, as they prepare dishes with passion and creativity. Each plate is crafted with careful attention to detail, using carefully selected ingredients that embody the cherished traditions of Japanese cuisine.
Menu Highlights
Guests can anticipate a delightful array of dishes, including:
- - Appetizer: Steamed abalone with yuba and bekkou sauce, assorted delicacies featuring seasonal ingredients, and house-made crab egg rolls.
- - Meat Dish: Furano Wagyu served as a dashi-shabu.
- - Main Dish: Rice with Mikawa Isshiki eel and a flavorful miso soup.
- - Dessert: Silken almond tofu to conclude the meal on a sweet note.
