TABLE FOR TWO USA is hosting Ouchigohan - Summer Picnic with Sushi Rolls and Veggies with Sesame Dressing on Saturday, June 29, 2024 at 6 PM EST in collaboration with our Japan America Societies family as we present recipes from our forthcoming book, "Japanese Cooking with Kids" (Tuttle Publishing, Fall 2024)! We will make a tray of sushi rolls (norimaki) – Japanese rice, stuffed with delicious fillings and rolled in nori, steamed green vegetables in a tasty sesame dressing, and Japan’s favorite summer thirst quencher – mugicha, healthy roasted barley tea. Perfect for a summer picnic!

Bonus activity: Make your own set of “hashioki” – chopstick rests!

Our own Debra Samuels will lead the class to choose from tuna-mayo, cucumbers, avocado, and imitation crab to fill your rolls. Crush up nutty sesame seeds into a yummy sauce to top veggies and learn how simple it is to make a pitcher of mugicha. Debra Sensei will additionally teach you how to tie a Japanese knot and make a set of chopstick rests. 2 class participants will win a copy of “Japanese Cooking with Kids.” The winners will be selected randomly and notified!
