Join us for a special edition of the family-friendly online Japanese cooking class series!
Ouchigohan! - Japanese Home Cooking in February and cook along with us from your own kitchen. This month, you will find yourself transported into a Japanese tearoom! First, we learn how to make how to make wagashi-a traditional Japanese sweet that pairs well with tea. Cook along with step-by-step guidance from TABLE FOR TWO’s Debra Samuels to prepare daifuku, a small round mochi rice cake filled with anko, or sweet red bean paste. After preparing our treats, we will be joined by Tomoko Honda of Ippodo Tea to learn all about three kinds of classic Japanese teas, sencha, matcha and hojicha, and how to brew them. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to learn more about everyday Japanese Teatime as it is enjoyed by friends and families!

This month’s program is hosted by The Japan Society of Boston and joined by Japan Society New York, The Japan-America Society of Georgia, Japan America Society of Houston, Japan America Society of Colorado, Japan-America Society of Indiana, The Japan-America Society of Washington DC and Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia. Step-by-step cooking instruction and demonstrations are provided by TABLE FOR TWO USA, which leads the innovative series “Wa-Shokuiku: Learn. Cook. Eat Japanese!,” dedicated to making simple, healthy, homestyle Japanese food to enjoy with friends and family.
