Ippai PDX Osechi Dinner

Once a month, Jane Hashimawari pops up as Ippai PDX at Milk Glass Market offering Japanese home style cooking like from her mom. Her simple but comforting meals vary by the monthly theme and season and really do seem like what would be on the table at a regular family dinner if you were doing a homestay. Recently, I attended the Ippai PDX Osechi Dinner, which featured some dishes of traditional Japanese New Year’s Food to give 2017 (or any new year) an auspicious start.

Ippai PDX at the Hollywood Farmers Market

Maybe these photos might encourage you to visit the Hollywood Farmers Market. Besides it being less crazy crowded and easier to find parking I think then the Portland Farmers Market at PSU, they also have one unique offering:  Ippai PDX. This little pop-up is a regular stop for me. I love their variations of onigiri.

If you want more than a snack, try their rice bowls- either hot (with warm curry on top) or cold (with various veggies). I added an egg for an extra dollar, so worth it.

You should definitely visit their website- besides popping up at the market, they also have pop-up dinners once in a while!

Have you ever had onigiri before?
