Join the Japan-America Society of Georgia (JASG) 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!
This month, we will prepare 3 refreshing and delicious Japanese favorites perfect for summer. Yakitori is a Japanese comfort food made of chicken skewers grilled and glazed with savory-sweet tare sauce. Hiyajiru is a chilled miso-based soup traditionally enjoyed during Japan’s hot summers. We’ll finish with Ice-Brewed Green Tea (koridashi-cha), a style of tea brewed slowly over ice.
Whether you're looking for a new dish for family meals or to impress your guests, this month's recipes are sure to become seasonal favorites.
Join us as we cook, taste, and celebrate the flavors of summer—right from the comfort of your own kitchen.
The recipe card with ingredients list and Zoom link will be provided a week before the event.
