Day 5 Sushi Making

This morning, we ate a Japanese-traditional style of glass noodles and mackerel. After a morning of classes learning about Japanese culture and history, we ate udon at Sapporo station for lunch. Afterwards, we took the train to go to our sushi class, where we learned how to make maki minion and flower sushi rolls as well as four small spherical sushis. The teachers also made nigiri, and we had the sushi for dinner. It was very fun.

Day 8 Hot Spring and Ainu Culture Center

Image
June 14 Blog: Today, we had breakfast at the ryokan and attended our final Japanese classes from 9-11:30. We present haikus that we wrote in Japanese recalling our experiences in Sapporo and received certificates for finishing the course. From there, we took a bus to Koganeyu hot spring. We enjoyed foods such as cold soba and katsu-don (pork cutlet and egg over rice) before going to the onsen. For many of us, it was our first Japanese hot spring experience and it was very relaxing. After the bath, we went to the Ainu cultural center and learned about the lives of the indigenous Ainu people native to Hokkaido. We received a tour of traditional Ainu housing and explored their clothing, tools, instruments, and games in the museum. The Ainu clothing was woven with specific patterns that had spiritual meanings related to the gods they worship, and we were especially impressed with their salmon skin shoes. We then cooked traditional Ainu dishes for dinner such as deer meat, kabocha (japan...

Day 3

At the start of the day, we ate breakfast at the hotel. It consisted of white rice, mackerel, Japanese egg omelet, miso soup, sour plum, meat balls, and konjac (a japanese root vegetable). After breakfast, we flew from Tokyo to Hokkaido. We ate lunch at a food court in Sapporo airport. After checking into the ryokan (Japanese traditional inn), we met Japanese college students, split up into small groups, and had free time with them. With my group, we went to yosakoi (a japanese dance festival in Sapporo). Many groups from different countries competed in this dance competition. Lastly, we ate dinner and sang fun songs at the karaoke center. Singing in Japanese was challenging, but we were surprised at how good the college students at karaoke!  by Maya & Christin with college volunteers with college volunteers with college volunteers 大学生のボランティアと with college volunteers with college volunteers Yosakoi Festival Yosakoi Festival at Yosakoi Festival w...
