Kozmo Kitchen specializes in authentic Japanese homecooking. Many of you might know we cater bentos and onigiris, but we offer buffet style catering too. You can choose various levels of services from drop-off to on-site serving.

Here is an example of appetizer catering with on-site staff. Please contact us at 206-349-5680 or info@kozmokitchen.com to start a planning with us.

Kozmo Kitchen’s Bento is very special. Custom designed Makunouchi style bento is packed with seasonal bite size dishes made from scratch, including homemade pickles.

Below is the example of what we do. Recently we catered our bentos to a funeral service. We talor our homemade food to various occasions such as personal and business events and party. Contact us at info@kozmokitchen.com or 206-349-5680 and let us know how you’d like to make your event complete with our special bentos.

I will be home from Japan soon. It has been a great trip so far. But I can’t wait to get back in the kitchen! Also looking forward to the exciting Bite of PhinneyWood on September 17. I will be offering a special mini onigiri bento. Come join us!

We participated in the Comminity Market at Hyphen Asian Food and Culture in Belltown last Saturday. It was in the middle of the long holiday weekend, and what a great turn-out! We sold out within the first couple of hours!

We offered a variety of onigiri using Koshihikari from Fukui and brown rice from Great Rice, including Kozmo’s favorites Eggplant Miso, Beef & Burdock, and Asparagus Kimpira with organic brown rice from Great Rice, LLC. But the featured onigiri was Iburi Gakko and Smoked Provolone cheese.

Iburi Gakko is a smoked radish pickle. It’s a speciality from my hometown Akita, so you can’t find it in the US. Well, you could, but some of them are “fake,” meaning they add artificial flavors and additives. Making real natural iburi gakko is a lengthy process (takes months to make) and labor intensive. So you should read the nutrition facts of the product carefully. I brought mine back from Japan. That fact itself makes this onigiri very special, but the very smokey aroma from the chopped pickles and smoked cheese is quite a unique experience as onigiri flavors.

It was a great fun being inside such a cool space filled with Asian artisan crafts and food items. I was also grateful to see old friends and Kozmo’s regular bento customers in person.

Because we sold out early, hopefully there will be another opportunity in the future to connect with more people to enjoy our onigiri with love!
