JASC had over 50 people come make onigiri at our Onigiri Onegai! event in support of Table for Two’s Onigiri Action campaign. We had so much fun creating the most adorable onigiri (many of them Halloween-themed) you have ever seen. And we had even more fun devouring them! Under the excellent tutelage of Yuta Okkotsu (owner of “Gonigiri”) we learned how to shape these adorable morsels of deliciousness. No instruction was needed to eat them. This event sold out and we did get several emails requesting more events like this. We hear you!! Thank you for the feedback!
Did you know that JASC offers a Japan in the Schools program as part of our mission to connect Colorado and Japan through educational means? This is a FREE program offered to classrooms throughout Colorado by our wonderful team member, Junko Goodwin. JiS for elementary students has been around for some time, but Junko has expanded this program adding some original creative content allowing us to reach out to students at all levels. We are so happy to be able to visit classrooms in person again and are also able to do completely remote or hybrid presentations also. If you are an educator or want to bring this program to your child’s classroom, please contact us! お待ちしております。
