  Japanese summers are known for being steamy (mushiatsui)! But people forget the humidity as soon as they get into their summer yukata and enjoy the street food at their local festivals, or matsuri.
  
  Join our July Ouchigohan cooking session as we make these popular matsuri dishes: yakisoba (fried noodles), takoyaki (grilled octopus fritters), and refreshing strawberry kakigori (shaved ice). We'll provide you with some great hacks, as well as the work-arounds you need, if you don't have the specialized cooking equipment.

  Once registered you will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link and recipe card.
