Let’s make one of Japan’s most popular on-the go meals, Onigiri! And join #OnigiriAction, TABLE FOR TWO’s annual social good campaign. Onigiri is a rice ball typically filled with protein or vegetables. This beloved dish is made in every home for snacks, bento and picnics. The class will be hosted by Ouchigohan’s Debra Samuels and taught by guest sensei Kimono Mom, MOE! Kimono Mom is a famous Japanese influencer, with over 2 million followers on Instagram, who cooks along with her adorable daughter Sutan. We will be making 3 different kinds of onigiri; a selection of Kimono Mom and Sutan’s favorites!

Program Description

Ouchigohan! series host Debra Samuels will lead the class with our guest teacher MOE, Kimono Mom. Debra leads the program content and curriculum development of TABLE FOR TWO USA’s Japanese inspired food education program, “Wa- Shokuiku: Learn. Cook. Eat Japanese!” Debra lived in Japan, all together, for 12 years and specializes in Japanese cuisine. She travels around the country and abroad teaching hands on workshops on obento, the Japanese lunchbox.

We would like to thank Kimono Mom, for participating in TABLE FOR TWO’s 10th Onigiri Action anniversary event. It is an annual autumn social good campaign connecting the simple act of taking a photo with helping to feed school children in need. Every riceball-related post on our global campaign website or your social media channel with #OnigiriAction will provide five school meals to children in need around the world.
