On June 11, JASH staff and volunteers joined nearly 700 visitors to Fort Bend Public Library to celebrate the FBCL Multicultural Festival. During the event, JASH introduced Japanese Food Education, or Shokuiku, to the community through the #EdamameChamp Chopstick Challenge campaign.
This was the first official #EdamameChamp Chopstick Challege hosted in Houston. Participants enjoyed the fun #EdamameChamp Chopstick Challenge game by moving edamame beans to create as many circles as possible in one minute using only chopsticks. Others enjoyed the mega #EdamameChamp Challenge by attempting to move the extra-large edamame rugby balls into a hoop using super-sized chopsticks.
About the #EdamameChamp Chopstick Challenge:
#EdamameChamp is an annual spring campaign to promote healthy eating through Japanese cuisine focusing on soy and to raise funds for teaching healthy eating to more children. The yearly challenge is hosted by Table For Two USA.
