Join us for the November edition of the family-friendly online Japanese cooking class series おうちごはん！Ouchigohan! – Japanese Home Cooking and cook along with us from your own kitchen! This month, learn to create onigiri (Japanese rice balls), which are a traditional comfort food made of steamed rice, and a delicious snack enjoyed by people of all ages in Japan. Filled with different ingredients and wrapped with nori (roasted seaweed), onigiri are easy to make and a fun snack the whole family can create. In this online workshop, families will learn about Japanese culture, healthy eating and how to make and decorate four onigiri—enough for everyone to take part! Join us online to make your own dishes with step-by-step guidance from TABLE FOR TWO’s Debra Samuels.

This month’s program is hosted by Japan-America Society of Indiana and joined by Japan Society New York, The Japan Society of Boston, The Japan-America Society of Georgia, Japan America Society of Houston, Japan America Society of Colorado, Japan America Society of Washington DC and Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia. Step-by-step cooking instruction and demonstrations are provided by TABLE FOR TWO USA, which leads the innovative series “Wa-Shokuiku 和食育: Learn. Cook. Eat Japanese!,” dedicated to making simple, healthy, homestyle Japanese food to enjoy with friends and family. This special Onigiri Action edition of Ouchigohan! is presented in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan and JETRO.
