If participants post using all 4 hashtags, they will automatically enter the national Table for Two and local Japan America Society of Chicago challenges. Prizes will be awarded for both national and local competitions.

World Food Day is celebrated every year on October 16th to commemorate the 1945 founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization by the United Nations.

This year, we honor World Food Day from October 10th - November 20th by making and enjoying “Onigiri (Rice Ball)”


Participating is easy:

  1. Acquire onigiri.

  2. Photograph making it, eating it, yourself dressed up as it, or just the onigiri itself!

  3. Post it here and on social media.

  4. Tag your post with #onigiriaction

For every onigiri photo, 5 school meals will be provided.


More details can be found at https://onigiri-action.com/en/


Let's change the world with onigiri!
