Join us in this family friendly event hosted by The Japan Society of Boston, The Japan-America Society of Georgia and Japan-America Society of Houston as we cook along with Table for Two’s innovative food program,  Wa-Shokuiku: Learn. Cook.  Eat Japanese! The May program will focus on the popular yoshoku (western inspired) egg and rice dish, omurice, served in the shape of a teddy bear that will invoke the nostalgia of a simple childhood meal. A hearty chicken and rice form the belly that is covered by a fluffy egg blanket.  This is an easy, fun and family friendly activity.
