Espacio Hanami: Asian Deli Market
Are you into Japanese food? Who isn’t, right? This weekend, Espacio Hanami is putting on a Japanese food and goods event down in Palermo. You’ll be able to find the classics (sushi, matcha-related-food, pastries) and discover new and exciting flavors from the other side of the globe (no, I’m not a flat-earther). There will even be a series of workshops (i.e. origami) and talks you can take part in. This event wasn’t organized by a 30-year-old-reddit-weaboo-who-lives-in-his-mother’s-basement group. It’s run by a group of Japanese guys, so you know it’ll be legit.

Dehydrated Food Workshop
Have you ever tried dehydrating your food? Me neither. Apparently, this process has a series of benefits, such as preserving the nutrients and enzymes of a particular ingredient as well as concentrating and enhancing its natural flavor. Organized by CRUDO, this workshop has a thorough dehydrated food agenda. You’ll learn to activate and dehydrate seeds, make crackers, nachos, instant soup, kale chips and much more! The course consists of two intensive classes, on the 11th and 12th April.
The cost of this workshop is $1750 per person, you can reserve your spot by emailing clases@crudococina.com and buy your ticket on Crudo Cocina.
