The Japan Society is delighted to partner with Clearspring and London-based chef Izumi Nakamura for a fun family workshop filled with creative cooking, tasty treats and the joy of making onigiri together. 

In this fun, hands-on workshop, families will discover how to make a selection of simple Japanese dishes they can enjoy creating again at home, with decorative touches and Clearspring seasonings and ingredients. All ingredients used in the workshop are vegan and the recipes can easily be adapted at home. 

Menu  
Onigiri rice balls with furikake and seasonings  
Onigirazu rice sandwiches with soya mince soboro and rainbow veggies 
Simple miso soup 
Tofu chocolate mousse

This workshop is ideal for families with children aged 7 and over and welcomes participants with no prior experience in Japanese cooking.
