Last "World meets Fukushima-FUKUSHIMA SEKAIMESHI" Cooking Class of AY 2014 Held

The fifth "World meets Fukushima- FUKUSHIMA SEKAIMESHI cooking class in Fukushima" (*1) was held at the cooking studio of Fukushima City Active Senior Center AOZ (*2) on Saturday, February 21, 2015.

The event aims to convey to the people of greater Tokyo how tasty and attractive Fukushima's produce is, by cooking "SEKAIMESHI = home cuisine around the world" while holding international exchange.

This time, international students from UoA and Fukushima University jointly proposed recipes and cooked eight different dishes including German, Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine using Fukushima produce together with Japanese students. Under the guidance of the international students, the Japanese students tried hard to follow the recipes they had never seen before. They all made friends while cooking.

After that, locals participated in a tasting party. They enjoyed the dishes of different countries which were not the usual for Japanese people, listening to explanations from the international students. Some of the participants said, "We were surprised to learn how differently our familiar foodstuff can be cooked."

The goal of publicizing Fukushima's bounty through world cuisine was accomplished again.
