Join us and go beyond the page and into the kitchen with our favorite cooks. This series is our love letter to the cookbooks we return to—dog-eared and well-worn, smudged with cooking grease or dusted with flour—proof of how deeply they’re cherished, and to our community that shows up curious to learn, eat, and connect. A heartfelt mahalo to @themoanasurfrider and @macysalamoana for their support in helping us share delicious and diverse voices from across the globe with our CookSpace ohana. Sign up for class at link in bio. Photo slide 1 by Trang Nguyen Photos slides 2&3 by Matt Russell

May 5th is Kodomo no Hi (Children’s Day)—a day to celebrate resilience and a courageous heart🎏 To mark the occasion, families traditionally display Hariko Tigers, handcrafted guardians believed to protect and inspire the next generation. These soulful figures were created by Takehisa Mamoru Shoten, a two-generation family workshop in Okayama founded in 1957. While their original production has now come to a close, Ten & Sen is honored to introduce these remaining pieces to you. Each tiger is a one-of-a-kind legacy—a final whisper of a beautiful tradition we hope to keep alive in our modern lives. 📅 April 4 — May 5 📍 The Rice Factory Honolulu @thericefactory 
Very limited stock available. These pieces will only be available until they are sold out. We look forward to sharing these stories and the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship with you🇯🇵 #TenAndSen #HarikoTiger #KodomoNoHi #JapaneseCraftsmanship #HonoluluPopUp

First of all, thank you so much to everyone who pre-ordered Himiso🍲🥹 We are so grateful to share the love🤍 Himiso was born from everyday life. “There’s no time to make miso soup…” 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃‍♂️💨 “I have an onigiri for lunch, but it would be so much nicer with a warm bowl of soup.” 😩 “I’m a little hungry… 😵‍💫 but something sweet just doesn’t feel right.” 🤔 I hope Himiso becomes something you gently remember in moments like these. Just knowing it’s tucked away in your freezer brings a little comfort. 🥰 “Oh — I have Himiso.” 🙌 No chopping. No simmering. Just 18–20g of Himiso paste, pour over 180–200ml hot water, and stir. In seconds, you have a warm bowl of miso soup that gently soothes the body. Each month, we feature carefully selected miso and ingredients. This month’s batch is based on Awase Miso from @thericefactory , blended with Honobono’s original koji dashi, wakame, sesame, dried vegetables… and a few thoughtful touches more. ☺️ Available in two versions: 🌿 Vegan 🐟 Bonito Huge love to @kahoissant for bringing this adorable packaging to life 🥹🤍 May it become a small, protective presence in your everyday life.😌✨ We’ll be announcing our next restock date soon 🤍 You can place your order at https://honobono-266578.square.site

Aloha 🤍 Thank you always for supporting Honobono’s kimchi.🥹🌶️✨🩷 Himichi began with a single size in glass jars, and as more of you have become returning customers — and many have started purchasing multiple at a time — we felt it was time to create something new.
