We are happy to announce the 6th annual Bento Workshop: Maki-zushi edition!
Date: January 17th, 2026 at 12:30pm PST/11:30am AKST
Location: Zoom & Anchorage, Alaska (full address sent via email after registration)
If you’re trying to eat healthier this year or want to learn more about Japanese food, this workshop is for you! Join us for a fun afternoon as we learn how to make customizable maki-zushi (rolled sushi) and pair them with colorful side-dishes to make healthy bento box lunches for you and your family!
Lea from Alaska JETAA will show us not only how to make easy maki-zushi but give us a great lesson in nutrition that you can also apply to your regular meals to create healthy, balanced meals.
