we host extraordinary guests
GATHERING to taste JAPAN'S FINEST FLAVORS
The MIRUKASHI salon Culture. Flavor. Terroir.
Intimate gatherings of extraordinary guests (that's you!) for seasonally tailored immersive culinary sessions in the countryside of Japan
OUR MISSION
CONNECT you to the natural environment in which FLAVOR ORIGINATES.
When you pass hillsides full of bamboo shoots in spring and drive roads carpeted in bright yellow leaves of ginkgo trees in autumn, the visceral connection to those ingredients as essential flavors of the season is enhanced in spades. Seasonal ingredients are a natural extension of the scenery that surrounds us and intrinsic to the meals we prepare here.
CONNECT you to the natural environment in which FLAVOR ORIGINATES.
YOUR HOST
I'm Prairie, and Mirukashi is my story.
I'm enamored with the rituals of daily life. I love to watch the sun rise, forage wild vegetables in the spring, gather wild weeds and flowers to arrange, tend to my orchard and garden, fillet my own fish, and cook in concert with Japan's 72 micro-seasons, each with its own unique flavors. Through these simple acts, I feel my New England disposition in synergy with the rhythm of my days in the countryside of Japan.
MEET
With a focus on everyday elegance and captivating flavors, we dive deep into the beauty of Japan's culinary landscape.
Join me in the heart of Japan’s countryside to experience beautiful, multi-course meals featuring the freshest seasonal ingredients. When the season allows, we’ll forage and bring our harvest home to craft delicious dishes from these captivating flavors. As evening rolls around, I'll fix you an original cocktail featuring seasonal flavors. We’ll light a fire in the stove if it’s cold or throw open the windows if it’s warm and sit down to enjoy good food in good company while gazing out at the landscape that provides such abundance.
During your time here, you'll enjoy cooking sessions with me in Mirukashi, masterclasses with local chefs and artisans, and adventures in the field to meet the dedicated and passionate artisans shaping one of the world’s greatest cuisines. You’ll also enjoy a private studio visit at monohanako pottery atelier with my partner Hanako Nakazato. She'll demonstrate her craft and share with you her aesthetics, and philosophies. When not dining in Mirukashi, we’ll enjoy private dinners at the best local restaurants.
Each Mirukashi salon session is specific to the season, but the architecture and rhythm remains the same throughout: gather, cook, explore, learn, and end each day together around a table sharing Japan's finest flavors.
A feast for the senses.
