ORINIGIRI Workshop 4: Adopt a Japanese home-style meal to put on your table!
Adopt a Japanese home-style meal to put on your table!
We know you love Japanese food, but have you ever tried to make in your own home? We’ll show you where you can find the finest ingredients in NYC!
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to cook both delicious and beautifully shaped onigiri, also known as tiny portable Japanese rice snacks. It sounds difficult to make but don’t worry, we’ll provide you with the easiest way to make them! We’re introducing a special cooking tool called ORINIGIRI, made for creating innovative onigiri in only three steps!
To deliver a home-style Japanese meal set, we will introduce ingredients that go perfectly with rice: Japanese tea and pickles! All ingredients you will use in this workshop are easily accessible to purchase here in New York.
After the cooking session, our guest speakers who specialize in each of the ingredients will give lectures on how to adopt healthy ingredients and use them in your meals.

What is “ORINIGIRI?”
