Join Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia this May for the family-friendly online Japanese home cooking class series おうちごはん OUCHI GOHAN and cook along or just watch from your own kitchen! On the menu this month is SUPER SANDO SPECIAL!
Like almost everything about Japanese food, Japanese Sandos are next level! Beautiful, delicious, eclectic combinations all describe the wonderful world of what Japanese put between two slices of bread. Combeni (Convenient) Store sandos are legendary. Join us as we put together a picnic bento of sandos that includes: Pork, Chicken or Tofu Katsu, the Kyoto specialty fuwa-fuwa fluffy Dashi Tamago Sando and special dessert, Fruits Sando with strawberries and blueberries on a cloud of whipped cream. Add asparagus spears with wasabi soy sauce and you are all set for summer.
