Kanna Himiya, author of The Samurai Gourmet, and a descendant of the chef of the powerful Maeda samurai clan from Ishikawa Prefecture, takes attendees on an culinary adventure to reveal the ancient recipes and eating habits of Japan’s legendary military class. Moderated by Michael Romano, chef and food ambassador of Ishikawa Prefecture, listeners will learn how the samurai lifestyle was nourished by a simple, balanced diet — providing them with strength on the battlefield. After the discussion, a book signing reception will be held featuring sake and food samples from Ishikawa Prefecture. Tickets are $20 or $16 for Japan Society members, seniors and students.
