KOKEDAMA MAKING EVENT
Kokedama (literally "moss ball") is a style of Japanese bonsai where a plant’s root system is wrapped in soil and moss, then bound with string. These unique, "string gardens" can be displayed on a decorative tray or hung to create a floating green oasis.
Looking for a unique gift? A handmade Kokedama is a "living gift" that grows with time—just like your love and appreciation. Whether you keep it for yourself or give it to your Valentine, it’s a heartfelt way to share the beauty of nature.
Plant Selection: Based on availability.
Capacity: Limited to 20 seats. (Book early to secure your spot!)

Join the Japan Society of Boston and Table for Two for this family-friendly online Japanese home cooking class series おうちごはん (OUCHIGOHAN) and cook along or just watch from your own kitchen! 鬼は外、福は内！Out with demons, in with good fortune!
We’re celebrating February with ehomaki—an uncut sushi roll traditionally eaten on Setsubun (February 3) while facing the year’s auspicious direction for good luck. The roll will be thickly filled with a customizable assortment of ingredients including omelette, marinated mushrooms, seafood, and other vegetables. We’ll finish the meal with a cozy soy milk matcha latte that’s perfect for warming up in the late winter weather.
Setsubun is a Japanese seasonal celebration that marks the transition from winter to spring and the welcoming of good fortune for the year ahead. Observed in early February, Setsubun is best known for its playful rituals like throwing roasted soybeans to chase away bad luck and invite health and happiness into the home.
Joining Debra Samuels as guest instructor this month will be Kevin Hiromoto, owner of the former Ebisuya Japanese Market, a beloved Japanese delicatessen in the Boston area for over 15 years. Kevin and Debra will share simple techniques, ingredient tips, and cultural context to help home cooks of all ages and experience levels enjoy this special Setsubun-themed meal!
A full list of ingredients, recipes, and instructions will be sent the week of the class. Members of Japan America Societies/US JETAA can enter their society’s discount code at checkout for member pricing. Advance ticket purchase required. Only one registration per household needed.
