What: DinnerKai (Dinner Event) at Suika
When: Tuesday, October 12th, 6:30-8:30pm
RSVP: dinnerkai[at]mokuyokai.bc.ca ( [at]=@ ) by Sunday, October 10th
Next Tuesday (the 12th) brings the October DinnerKai. This month, we're going to the newly opened Suika Japanese Restaurant on W Broadway. Suika is so new that they do not yet have a website but judging from the limited reviews and word-of-mouth (at least 2 Mokuyokai members recommended it), it is well worth the try.
Be amongst the first to try Suika! Of course, besides the delicious food and unique dining experience, it is an opportunity to meet and get to know other Mokuyokai participants. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun! The number of spots is limited so please RSVP early.

DinnerKai (Dinner Event): Tue., Oct. 12 - Suika
Sunday, 23 October 2011
The November Dinnerkai is at Suika (West Broadway) on Thursday, Nov 10th (6:30-8:30pm)
For the November Dinnerkai, we're going to Suika, a Japanese izakaya serving fusion cusine and tapas.
Suika is the casual version of Kingyo, and shares the same owners. It has a modern, lively atmosphere and extensive menu.
You'll come for the miso-marinated sablefish, beef short ribs, ramen (called the best in the city by CBC radio), or the one kilogram steak, but you'll stay to see the more than 10,000 chopsticks decorating the washroom walls.

Dinnerkai at Green Leaf Sushi on Thursday, June 7th (6:30-8:30pm)
For the June Dinnerkai, we're going to Green Leaf Sushi, a new small Japanese restaurant on Broadway.
Green Leaf Sushi only holds about 16 people and has only one cook – the owner. He has over 25 year of experience and seems to really care about food and his customers. The food is excellent and always presented in an artistic way. The place has a very cozy ambiance, decorated with antiques and the cook's abstract art.
So why don't you try a Dinnerkai if you haven't before? Of course, besides the food and dining experience, it is an opportunity to meet and get to know other Mokuyokai participants. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun! The number of spots is limited to 10 so please RSVP early. Participants will have to order in advance given the small size of the restaurant; a menu will be emailed to
participants.
Price Range: medium

DinnerKai: August Dinnerkai at Dan Japanese Restaurant Bar - Thurs August 11 (6:30-9pm)
Mokuyokai's August Dinnerkai is going to be held at Dan Japanese Restaurant Bar (located on the outskirts of Vancouver's Kitsilano neighbourhood). The restaurant web site states that their philosophy is to present "simple dishes(sic) derived from traditional Japanese recipes and inspired by local westcoast ingredients". They lay claim to using seasonal and local ingredients and to having a wide selection of beverages (beer on tap, premium sake, wines, and shochu) to compliment their meals. That certainly sounds delicious!
So please join us for an evening of good food and company.
When: Thursday, August 11th, 2011. 6:30 pm
Where: Dan Japanese Restaurant Bar, 2511 West Broadway, Vancouver. (Broadway & Larch Str.) Website: http://danrestaurant.com/

Okonomiyaki cooking and eating night: Sat, April 28th
*Update April 18th: this event is full. Please contact us if you'd like to go on the waiting list*
*Update April 12th: only a few spots remain!*
For the past two years, Mokuyokai has hosted an okonomiyaki cooking and eating night led by Mokuyokai Board member and chef extraordinaire, Shaun Krislock. Due to huge demand, we will have another session on Saturday, April 28th. Join us and learn how to make this delicious dish. Of course, we'll eat what we make. Besides enjoying the delicious food, you'll meet other Mokuyokai members and participants.
Not sure what Okonomiyaki is? Okonomiyaki is a popular Japanese pan fried food that consists of batter and cabbage. Selected toppings and ingredients are added which can vary greatly (anything from meat and seafood to wasabi and cheese). This variability is reflected in the dish's name; "okonomi" literally means "to one's liking". The dish is available all over Japan, but is most popular in Western, particularly in Hiroshima and Osaka. (From Japan-guide.com)
At the event, Shaun Krislock will demonstrate how to make okonomiyaki. Participants will then branch off in groups to make their own to share and enjoy. This event filled up quickly last year, so please RSVP early! Please note that as we have to pick up the ingredients in advance, we ask that participants note the cancellation policy.

Dinner and a movie: Saturday, March 10th (Dinner from 5:30pm; Movie from 7pm)
Update March 3rd: Spots still remain for this event!
Join us for dinner and a movie! We're going to eat at The Eatery, a very unique restaurant on Broadway (http://www.theeatery.ca/) and then watch one of two Japanese movies. One is the Japanese version of Shall We Dance (Like the one that Richard Gere and Jennifer Lopez starred in, but much better) It is a light hearted comedy. The other is Departures and it won Best Foreign Film at the 2009 Academy Awards. It is a little more serious in tone, but very uplifting. We'll take a vote that evening which one to watch and watch the other one next time.
