Get ready to experience the flavors of Hiroshima from the comfort of your own kitchen! JASNC is thrilled to host this month's special Ouchigohan program featuring Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki, a savory Japanese pancake layered with noodles, cabbage, a crepe-like base, and bean sprouts with savory sauces and delicious toppings. This interactive, family-friendly online cooking class will be led by Guest Chef Megumi (aka Meg) Gomez from Otafuku, the renowned Japanese sauce manufacturer. Meg, originally from Hiroshima, brings a deep passion for sharing authentic Japanese cuisine and will guide you step-by-step through the process of creating this iconic dish. We are excited to partner with Table for Two and Otafuku for this unique culinary experience. Perfect for all skill levels, this program offers a fun and interactive way for families to cook together and explore Japanese cuisine.
Megumi Okada Gomez (aka Meg) from Otafuku lives in Los Angeles with her husband and their four children. Originally from Hiroshima, Japan, she works for Otafuku, a renowned Japanese sauce manufacturer headquartered in her hometown. Meg has loved Otafuku’s sauces, especially the iconic Okonomi sauce, since childhood. She feels fortunate to work at Otafuku’s manufacturing facility in Los Angeles, just a short commute from her home. Surrounded by the familiar aromas of Hiroshima, she is passionate about her work and excited to share an authentic Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki recipe.
