Tea Ceremony and Onigiri Class

Onigiri, also known as omusubi or rice balls, is a Japanese food made from white rice formed into triangular or cylindrical shapes and often wrapped in nori (seaweed). Traditionally, an onigiri is filled with pickled ume (uneboshi), salted salmon, katsuobushi, kombu (edible kelp) or any other salty or sour cooked vegetable.

This event is hosted by Kimiko Gunji, Professor Emeritus of the University of Illinois, College of Fine and Applied Arts.
