Yr 10 Japanese Excursion

Last Friday, Year 10 students embarked on a Japanese excursion and explored Japanese cuisine and culture!

We visited the Japan Foundation for a workshop and we learnt about the importance of furoshiki ふろしきand the art of folding cloth to carry items and wrap gifts. ‘Furohsiki’ means “Bath” + “To Spread”.

Next we headed to Kura Kura Traditional Japanese restaurant. We ate foods such as chicken teriyaki, beef pieces with egg, rice, miso soup and drinks from Japan such as green tea and Calpis. We were given the full experience of Japanese cuisine.

Ms Onodera then took us to Kinokuniya bookshop where we explored sections in art, traditional Japanese writing and manga.

Overall this was a very fun and enjoyable experience and we all got to dive into Japanese culture and practise speaking Japanese!
