We invite you to join us for an exquisite series of workshops dedicated to uncovering the art of Japanese cooking. Join us for a hands-on Ehomaki (恵方巻) workshop and learn to make this delicious Japanese "lucky direction roll." Traditionally enjoyed during Setsubun in February, Ehomaki is a thick, uncut sushi roll eaten while facing the year’s lucky direction, which is believed to bring health and happiness.
