It’s November but Christmas has already come to Kura.

Every student enjoyed Japanese style Christmas cooking in Kura.

I was excited seeing the faces.

Outside and inside of Kura is celebrating Christmas

The number of Christmas ornaments is increasing every year.

Many students are looking forward to seeing new Christmas ornaments.

Welcome drink was a pomegranate juice. I took many pomegranates from my garden.

I also put sliced lemon which was taken in my garden on the drink.

It looked really elegant.

All students drank it and ate pomegranates. We can eat the seeds, too.

The seeds aren’t hard to eat and are a little sweet.

They say pomegranate is a women’s fruit. It is helpful for a balanced diet.

Menu：

Hot shrimp Japanese style

Deep fried dried tofu

Potato salad with tofu mayonnaise

Salad of mustard leaves and spring onion

Paprika sushi

Lotus root soup with wolfberries.

Steamed apple cake.

≪Hot shrimp, Japanese style≫

We used a species of shrimp  “ angel shrimp”

They were quite big so we were full after eating just 3 shrimps.

≪Deep fried tofu≫

Most people eat chicken on Christmas day.

It is like chicken. So please try dried tofu instead of chicken this year.

≪Potato salad with tofu mayonnaise≫

We made tofu mayonnaise instead of usual mayonnaise.

It is really healthy.

There is a lot of chopped fresh onion and corn. Pink pepper made it really cute.

≪Salad of mustard leaves and spring onion≫

Mustard leaves and spring onion were from my garden.

Both were very fresh and tasty with lemon salt.

≪paprika sushi ≫

We made vegetable sushi. Their color was Christmas color and small sizes to eat easily.

It is good for the party.

≪Lotus roots soup≫

It is good for sore throat. Its white color is just like snow, Red wolfberries are good accent for soup.

≪Steamed apple cake≫

Red apple and green tea gave the Christmas color. It wasn’t so sweet.

Western Christmas dishes are good, but Japanese Christmas dishes are better/
