At the event, Team JASH encouraged participants to test their chopsticks skills in the 2024 #EdamameChamp Chopsticks Challenge.
The annual #EdamameChamp campaign made possible by TABLE FOR TWO is designed to promote healthy eating by sharing the benefits of soy and healthy eating.
Soy sauce adds umami to nutrient-rich foods like fish and vegetables. Natto helps promote healthy skin, GI system, heart, immune system, and more. Miso is a SUPER fermented food made from koji that supports a healthy gut and blood pressure control. Tofu comes in as one of the most versatile plant proteins that can be transformed with flavors from all regions of the world. Edamame, a baby (immature) soybean, is the classic inspiration for [the] campaign as a brightgreen, delicious, protein-rich food for all occasions.

About TABLE FOR TWO:
TABLE FOR TWO USA (TFT) is a 501(C)(3) organization that rights this global food imbalance through a unique meal-sharing program. TFT partners with corporations, restaurants, schools and other food establishments to serve healthy TFT- branded meals. For each one of these healthy meals served, $0.25 is donated to provide one school meal for a child in need.
On one side people are eating healthier meals, and on the other children in East Africa and low income neighborhoods in the US are receiving healthy school meals. It is in this way that TFT has served healthy meals to both sides of the "table" and helped to right the global food imbalance.
The TABLE FOR TWO initiative was initiated by and is an official affiliate of the World Economic Forum's Young Global Leaders. As a non-profit organization which started in Japan and is expanding globally, TABLE FOR TWO USA has started the unique programs, Onigiri Action, Edamame Champ and Wa-Shokuiku -Learn. Cook. Eat Japanese!- featuring Japanese food culture to tackle critical health issues.
