Onigiri Popup Weekend

May 28, 2023 by KozmoKitchen 2 Comments

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!

Thank You, See You Again Soon

August 31, 2022 by KozmoKitchen Leave a Comment

What an amazing summer month we had! The August bento popup and catering events were full of excitement, happy energy and new connections with so many wonderful customers.

With the finish of the hectic month, I am off to Japan again to see my family, celebrate my father’s 90th birthday and do some culinary research! So Kozmo Kitchen is closed in the month of September.

Please stay tuned for updates on when we will back with Kozmo’s virtual storefront. My dream is still to find a more permanent way to make people happy through Japanese Home Cooking. The environment is very challenging, but I will be exploring possibilities. I appreciate your patience and support.

As for private cooking classes, catering and personal chef services, we will be open again in October when I return. So, please send your inquiries to info@kozmokitchen.com.

Thank you very much for your love and support always. We’ll see you again!

Kozmo Kitchen Update

February 24, 2022 by KozmoKitchen Leave a Comment

After going through the two-week quarantine period and having much-needed family time and taking a time-off for myself for one and a half month in Japan, I am back in Seattle!

Thank you for all the interests on catering and food delivery services received while I was away. Unfortunately Kozmo Kitchen is still closed and it will remain closed for catering services until further notice. However, we will be open one week for bento/meal offerings in March from March 11th (Thu) through March 13th (Sun). Confirmation will be announced shortly. Currently there’s no plan for April and later at this point. Stay tuned!

I am so very grateful for having been able to connect with many of you with my homecooking style bentos and meals before and during the pandemic. All your warm, happy comments and encouragement were the fuel for me to keep running in the last couple of years.

With the new year started (a few months have passed already!), I’ve decided to make some changes for Kozmo Kitchen. I’d like to try something new, which might require frequent out-of-state travels. I also need to take care of my health and spend more time for research to grow and expand my knowledge on health, nuturition and wellbeing that food can contribute and nurture. I look forward to sharing more soon!
