#EdamameChamp, brought to you by TABLE FOR TWO USA, is an annual Spring campaign to promote healthy eating through Japanese cuisine with a focus on SOY to raise funds to expand our programs to even more students. Our partner organizations(*) donate based on the number of participants. This year we hosted 56 events with participants across the United States.
We also hosted an interactive social media campaign, the SOY PHOTO CHALLENGE, where participants posted soy-related foods with hashtag #EdamameChamp to bring our food education programs to 1 child. The 2022 campaign was a major success and we will be able to provide our Wa-Shokuiku Japanese inspired food education to 1,682 students. We have established new partnerships, connected with new people from around the world, had fun with chopsticks, cooked numerous delicious dishes using different soy foods, and together have made a step towards our vision of a world of healthier eating.
