A Table For Two instructor will introduce the history and culture of rice and onigiri, share information about the Onigiri Action campaign, and lead an interactive onigiri-making session.

  Your Onigiri Flight: Three Delicious Flavors

  Make your own flight of three onigiri featuring these classic Japanese flavors!

  • Tuna Mayo: A creamy, savory combination of tuna and Kewpie mayonnaise.
  • Shio Kombu: Seasoned kelp that adds a delicious umami flavor.
  • Ume: Tangy Japanese pickled plum for a distinctive sweet-and-sour taste.

  You’ll also get creative by decorating your onigiri with nori (seaweed) punches and scissors!

  What’s Included

  Most ingredients and supplies will be provided by Table For Two. The $5 participation fee helps cover additional materials and JASG’s event coordination costs.

  Come learn about Japanese food culture, connect with participants nationwide, and enjoy making and decorating your own delicious onigiri!
