Join the Japan Society of Boston and Table for Two for this family-friendly online Japanese home cooking class series おうちごはん (OUCHIGOHAN) and cook along or just watch from your own kitchen!
We’re celebrating February with ehomaki—an uncut sushi roll traditionally eaten on Setsubun (February 3) while facing the year’s auspicious direction for good luck. The roll will be thickly filled with a customizable assortment of ingredients including omelette, marinated mushrooms, seafood, and other vegetables. We’ll finish the meal with a cozy soy milk matcha latte that’s perfect for warming up in the late winter weather.
Setsubun is a Japanese seasonal celebration that marks the transition from winter to spring and the welcoming of good fortune for the year ahead. Observed in early February, Setsubun is best known for its playful rituals like throwing roasted soybeans to chase away bad luck and invite health and happiness into the home.
The class will be led by Debra Samuels (cookbook author and contributor to the Food Section of The Boston Globe) and Kevin Hiromoto (owner of the former Ebisuya Japanese Market, a beloved Japanese delicatessen in the Boston area for over 15 years). Kevin and Debra will share simple techniques, ingredient tips, and cultural context to help home cooks of all ages and experience levels enjoy this special Setsubun-themed meal!
A full list of ingredients, recipes, and instructions will be sent the week of the class.
