Program Description

Celebrate Japanese New Year, or “Oshogatsu” with us and make some of the special foods, known as “Osechi-ryori“. Beautiful and full of symbolism for luck and fortune in the coming new year, families gather for a wonderful homemade feast. For our special Japanese New Year Ouchigohan session, we will make 3 items to enjoy:

Yawata maki: rolled beef with carrots and string beans simmered in Teriyaki Sauce, refreshing Namasu salad with shredded daikon and carrots, and a delicious apple Kinton made with sweet potato and apple mash, twisted into a “pouch of gold.” We will also play a popular New Year’s game, “Fukuwarai” – The Lucky Laugh game.

We look forward to welcoming in the New Year with you and our Ouchigohan Family!
