Today’s mochi-making class was a big hit! Mariko-sensei and Sarinna-san instructed us. The trickiest part was how long to leave the dough in the microwave to get it just right. It seemed that four minutes, then stirring the dough, and then another four minutes worked for some groups. Mariko-sensei’s homemade azuki bean paste was amazing. Thanks to everyone who helped with this event!

Mr. Ito, the Japanese tea expert from Shiga prefecture, visited our Japanese classroom recently. Mr. Ito was accompanied by Ms. Nakajima, the Shiga representative, and Ms. Kanemura, who does Shiga promotions. The class, along with guests Andrea Hougland, Angela Resseguie and Melissa Kaplan, really enjoyed learning about tea production in Shiga. We also sampled one of their special teas.
