Make your own "Zakuro shu" (pomegranate liquor). Pomegranates hold cultural significance in Japan, often associated with the goddess Kishibojin and symbols of fertility.
The workshop will guide you through the process and include a tasting session. They'll be some traditional snacks on offer too.
All materials are provided, including an Okawa Glass Tesage jar that you can take home - the liquor will need to be stored in a cool dark place for 2-3 months before its ready to enjoy.
About Aki Henderson
Aki grew up in the northern Tohoku region, where several varieties of pickle are always on the table. With long, cold winters, the region is famous for its pickling techniques – a great way to enjoy the bounty of the harvest throughout the year – and relatives and neighbours often share their home-pickled dishes. As well as working with London restaurant Koya, Aki also runs Miki Meshi delivering home-made Bento boxes.
