March Ouchigohan: Miso Madness
Join the Japan American Society of Houston (JASH) for the next edition of Ouchigohan! A fun, family-friendly online Japanese home cooking class!
As March brings its signature excitement, we’re channeling that energy into the kitchen with a little culinary “madness” of our own—spotlighting miso as the bold, umami-rich MVP of the Japanese pantry. We will be celebrating soybeans—the plant-based powerhouse at the heart of miso. For centuries, miso has been a cornerstone of Japanese cuisine, prized for its depth, versatility, and nourishing qualities.
During this interactive cookalong, participants will explore creative and delicious ways to cook with miso—highlighting its rich flavor and cultural significance while inspiring new everyday favorites.
