Join us in this family friendly event hosted by The Japan-America Society of Georgia, The Japan Society of Boston, and Japan-America Society of Houston as we cook along with Table for Two’s innovative food program,  Wa-Shokuiku: Learn. Cook. Eat Japanese!  Make simple, healthy homestyle Japanese food to enjoy with your friends and family.  

Special recipes have been selected to introduce participants to Japanese food philosophy and preparation techniques.  We'll start with origiri, the classic Japanese comfort food, but in this session we'll do a more "advanced" onigiri. Learn how to make homemade salmon flakes to use in your onigiri and master the classic yaki onigiri (or grilled rice balls) while also making a simple cucumber shiozuke (Japanese style pickles) to go along with your onigiris!
