Your experience starts with a warm welcome from this friendly local family. After putting on a traditional Japanese bandana (which you get to keep as a souvenir!), you will discover the history behind Japan's ultimate soul food. Learn how Onigiri serves as a daily snack, an essential part of bento box culture, and a way to feel love from mother to kids. We will also share fascinating insights into premium rice, Japan's unique fermentation culture, and the beautiful traditional tableware handcrafted by local Japanese artisans that you will use during the class.

Next, watch a live demonstration from a real Japanese mom to learn the professional techniques of handling the hot rice and shaping it perfectly with care. Then, it’s your turn to get creative! What is your favorite Onigiri? Today, you can make your own version using a wide variety of ingredients. We will guide you through everything from the absolute basics to premium fillings, including classic savory salmon, smoky bonito flakes (Katsuobushi), and rich, flavorful traditional Miso.

Finally, time to enjoy your handmade masterpieces!
