おうちごはん! Ouchigohan! Japanese Home Cooking – Onigiri

Japanese Home Cooking with Table for Two and the Japan America Societies of Washington DC, Boston, Greater Philadelphia, Colorado, Georgia, Houston, North Carolina, and Indiana

Let’s make one of Japan’s most popular on-the go meals, Onigiri! And join #OnigiriAction, TABLE FOR TWO’s annual social good campaign. Onigiri is a rice ball typically filled with protein or vegetables. This beloved dish is made in every home for snacks, bento and picnics. The class will be hosted by Ouchigohan’s Debra Samuels and taught by guest sensei Kimono Mom, MOE! Kimono Mom is a famous Japanese influencer, with over 2 million followers on Instagram, who cooks along with her adorable daughter Sutan. We will be making 3 different kinds of onigiri; a selection of Kimono Mom and Sutan’s favorites!
