A Taste of Home: Dining Out in Japanese America
Posted On
The Japanese American National Museum will present “A Taste of Home: Dining Out in Japanese America” on Sunday, Jan. 17, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. PST.
Japanese immigrants have worked in, owned, and sustained restaurants in the U.S. for over a century and Japanese restaurants continue to be as integral a part of Japanese America as home cooking. In this third and final part of “A Taste of Home,” JANM will examine the past, present, and future of Japanese American restaurants and dining through a conversation with Chef Akira Hirose and Jo Ann Maehara (Azay Little Tokyo) and Chef Niki Nakayama (n/naka) moderated by Professor Samuel H. Yamashita.

In the meantime, LAPD will assist with outreach to mental health providers so that he can be evaluated for treatment.
