I was lucky enough to get a preview of French Laundry alum Chef Laura Ochikubo’s creations for her upcoming event at the beautiful Japanese American Cultural and Community Center space in Little Tokyo, a Japanese-influenced high tea for the holidays. Her pastries and tea treats like the kabocha scone and a miso-white sesame cornet all have a unique Japanese influence blended with traditional French pastry skill. It’s a beautiful way to kick off the holiday, explore the JACCC, and taste some unique teas like wakocha and hojicha.
