Wow what a stunning day we’ve had!
Friday 20 March had us involved with many characteristics that our Japanese families celebrate as part of their culture. Noriko had the students dressing up in kimonos, Yuko had the students making different creations using the art of origami, Tatsu and Miho played games with the children they used to play in Japan when they were primary school age and Kenji created little nibbles that consisted of a batter, with the addition of octopus and spring onion. The ‘batter’ was poured into this very fancy hot plate with little spaces to make the balls, then the octopus and spring onion sprinkled on top. Once the base was cooked Kenji used this little utensil to flip them over to cook on the other side. With the addition of a yummy vegetable based sauce the delicacy was complete. Miho, Noriko and Yuko cooked up some rice for the students to complete the experience by making their own rice balls wrapped with nori.
