Instructor: Tanpopo Noodle Shop's Koshiki Yonemura

"For almost 700 years, bento boxes containing beautifully arranged and ready-to-travel meals have been a treasured staple of Japanese culture. More recently, bento boxes have made their way into food stands and take-out spots in this country, but they don't need to stop there. In this class, you'll learn different styles of bento, its presentation and ingredients, and leave ready to prepare a wonderful alternative to a sandwich in a lunch box. Toasted Sesame Rice Balls; Bonito and Soy Rice Balls; Yukari Rice Balls; Teriyaki Chicken; Marinated Salmon; Tamagoyaki (Japanese-style egg omelet); Sesame Green Bean Salad."
