Chef Murakami and his new venture, Akamai Ohana, will be featured on the last Thursday of every month at ShareKitchen and while some of you may already enjoy Chef Murakami’s culinary skills at the sushi bar inside Kobe Steakhouse in Rancho Mirage, come support the Coachella Valley’s newest aspiring restaurateur as he explores and refines his own personal concepts and menus in our test kitchen, restaurant and bar.

Fisherman’s Stew- Seafood in a Tomato Broth with Persillade
Frisée and Soft Greens Salad with House-made Mustard Vinaigrette and House-Cured Beef
Roasted Chicken- Savoy cabbage, Turnips, Mushrooms, Green herbs and Shallow Chicken Broth
Faux-Lognese- A variation on a classic Bolognese with Merguez Sausage and Cuttlefish “noodles”
