We made Japanese traditional New Year dishes in December.
There was a brilliant Christmas tree in the classroom and we made New year’s dishes.
It was really funny.
But in England they display the Christmas tree until January 7th.
My family also do that, because we like Christmas tree, we don’t want to put it away soon after Christmas.
We always enjoy eating New Year dishes while looking at the Christmas tree.

I served home-made Chinese quince with honey tea as a welcome drink, it was good for sore-throat.

The table flower was fresh rose and preserved flower arranged in a box.

We put all the dishes we made in one of the nest of the boxes.
It was Wajima lacquer ware.
We call it “Wajimanuri” which was the best lacquer ware in Japan.

Ginko rice was for luck with money, Cooked shrimp for long life until bending at the waist, Cooked vegetables for good luck, Sweet egg roll with fish paste, White like snow taro and baby sardines, Happy red and white soup, Healthy lilly bulb Japanese cake
Every students loved them and enjoy putting them in the boxes.

Afternoon tea class was Christmas version

Christmas pudding from Harrods in England, Stollen made by Kura-cooking, Kaya jam sandwiches from Singapore, Christmas cookies, wolf berried scones.

We drank Christmas tea and rose tea from Bettys in England.
Wolf berries scones were beautiful Christmas color, they were good with whipping cream and rum raisins.
The taste was excellent.

A Singaporean family came to Kura
We made Japanese pizza and dumplings.　They enjoyed tea ceremony at the main building of Kura-cooking..
They loved Tatami floor, so they said they wanted to import them to Singapore.

A lot of Japanese students and students from 8 different countries came to Kura-cooking this year.
Thank you all very much.
I’m looking forward to seeing new students.
I’m waiting for your messages.
