Brackett says Nomura is bringing fresh-cured katsuobushi ― the smoked bonito that's the basis for dashi ― and salted cherry blossoms from Japan. "She's bringing a whole bag of other stuff with her," Brackett says. Her mother, apparently, makes some kind of pickled walnut thing. As for Peko-Peko, it'll construct a sashimi salad with local halibut, maybe a soup of Tomales Bay clams and broth made from Nomura's katsuobushi. Something with early-season fava beans, too ― onigiri (rice balls) perhaps. Sounds, well, like an evening spent optimally, filled with the kind of eating that exceeds daily ritual. Joto sake will provide the drinks. Ticket info after the jump.
