Many students came to Kura in May.
There were not only Japanese students but foreign students from America, Tukey, France, and Philippine who want to know Japanese culture and dishes.
Some Japanese people enjoyed drinking Maccha in front of the Golden screen, some wanted to walk around the garden, some wanted to learn how to make Japanese dishes and some wanted to make English afternoon tea cakes
Foreigners also enjoyed cooking Japanese dishes.
There were many kind of flowers in my garden.

 
Many flowers were blooming beautifully in my flower bed by the gate.
A lot of iris were also beautiful and many students were surprised to see artichokes in my garden. Artichokes are really rare in Japan.
The reason I grow artichokes is because I want to eat them in Japan but Italian style. I couldn’t find them in any supermarket in Japan.
The students were welcomed by ornaments of 6 frog and 2 cats.

 
6 frogs means “mukaeru(welcome)” mu means 6, kaeru means frog.
Welcome drink was honey lemon drink. It was served chilled and hot depending on the classes.
The table flower was chive which is herb. Its purple color was really cute.
The keyword of the month was “refreshing taste”, it is easy to eat in rainy season.
In the rainy season, there is too much water in the body. We don’t need to drink much water, but we want to drink something. So fermented food is good for health.
We don’t want to drink much water after taking fermented food but our bodies need more water after taking some seasoning (salt or soy sauce)

We ate a lot of vegetable and yogurt, miso, fermented salt, lemon salt instead of other seasoning,
