TABEMASHO 2026: Mottainai
Join us for the Center’s largest fundraising event of the year, TABEMASHO: Mottainai on Saturday, September 19.
This year’s theme is mottainai (もったいない), a common Japanese expression used when something is wasted before its full value is appreciated. We wanted to take a moment to recognize the importance of mottainai in an era of quick fashion, quick food, and quick social media posts, and to encourage a greater sense of gratitude for the things that are part of our daily lives. Through food and culture, we hope to celebrate the community that connects us.
