This month began and ended with miso-making. And with that, this year\u2019s miso-making season finished. In the homes of nearly 50 students, the miso is now quietly resting, maturing until it will be opened next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guests enjoyed jabara tea\u3000\uff08jabara is a special orange which is grown in Kitayama Village in Wakayama prefecture\uff09, yuzu tea, and hibiscus ginger tea for the welcome drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month, we had various afternoon tea classes and medicinal cuisine classes. Everyone made miso, then cooked something , and ate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One was a requested afternoon tea lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A student who hadn\u2019t visited in six years wanted to make rice pudding and lemon curd, so we baked lemon curd bread and the rice pudding with a lot of spice. The scones were yuzu scones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other afternoon tea lessons, we baked miso bread and egg bread, and made apple cake which was requested, and yuzu scones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had the Sakura afternoon tea lesson when the cherry blossoms began to bloom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cherry blossom bread, cherry blossom snowballs with rice flour, and cherry blossom scones. We paired them with cherry blossom tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using cherry blossom-colored tableware really lifted everyone\u2019s spirits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the medicinal cuisine class, we used no salt, pepper, or soy sauce. Instead, we used herbs and spices. We could taste the natural flavors of the ingredients. These are low-sodium, low-potassium recipes perfect for people who have kidney trouble. For dessert, we made rice flour uiro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the children\u2019s cooking class, we made baked donuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We made delicious baked donuts covered with powder of strawberries and chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we had a new event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a thank-you party for my dear friends who always help me when I have a lot of guests. I had them sit where the guests usually sit and enjoyed a buffet-style meal, eating as much as they liked of whatever they wanted. I used my treasured antique Meissen and Villeroy & Boch plate for food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The smoked salmon and roast beef were made by my husband. Both were a huge hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I tried to create a festive atmosphere with cherry blossom decoration, cherry blossom-themed dishes, and cherry blossom desserts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to all of you, the March Kura Cooking event was a great success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new school year starts in April, I will continue to work even harder to prepare lessons that will bring joy to everyone, so I look forward to your continued support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would be delighted to receive your feedback through social media and other ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
