Japanese Cooking Incursion
In our Year 7 Japanese classes, we had the exciting opportunity to participate in an incursion that allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience of Kyushoku, or Japanese School Lunch. The menu featured four delicious items. First, we were offered a choice of drinks: Ocha (green tea) or Matcha (Japanese powdered green tea). Next, we enjoyed miso soup, which we prepared using miso paste and hot water. For our main dish, we had onigiri, a traditional rice ball (or triangle) wrapped in nori (seaweed).We learnt how to form the onigiri into triangles by hand, which was good fun. This hands-on experience greatly enhanced our learning, especially since our unit focused on food, drinks, and meals in Japan, as well as how to talk about them in Japanese!
