Hot pots are the quintessential Japanese comfort food: simple, fast, and easy to prepare. Many Americans, though, have almost no point of reference for Japanese food beyond the local sushi bar, so cooking this cuisine can sometimes seem exotic and intimidating. Enter Japan Society along with chef Tadashi Ono of Matsuri restaurant and food journalist Harris Salat, the authors of Japanese Hot Pots: Comforting One-Pot Meals.
Ono-san and Salat are coming to Japan Society on December 8 to introduce and demystify the Japanese communal eating tradition for American home cooks with belly-warming dishes from all corners of Japan – with a presentation that includes both a book signing and food tasting.

The event kicks off Tuesday, December 8 at 6:30 PM. Tickets are $18 for the general public and $15 for Japan Society members, seniors, and students. Japan Society is located at 333 East 47th Street, New York, NY.
