Onigiri Action starts today!
We kicked off the 9th JAPAN WEEK with an exciting Onigiri Making Workshop! With the help of Chef Uruma, we learned how to make Onigiri for the first time—and we think we did pretty well! They turned out delicious, and Onigiri might just be our new favorite Japanese food.

We’re excited to share these photos, knowing that each one helps provide school lunches for children in Africa and Southeast Asia.

Big thanks to the Onigiri Action campaign for making this meaningful experience possible!
