Make great use of non-standard vegetables! Wagashi(Japanese sweets) making event at Kyoto Kamigamo House!

One month passed from “the Kimono dressing event” that ended in a great success.
"Wagashi(Japanese sweets) making " Event was held at Borderless House Kyoto Kamigamo on June 4th."
Thanks to the cooperation of Dekovege Cafe(でこべじカフェ) from Kyoto University, we were able to hold it.
There are some vegetables that can not be sold in shops because of its appearance such as "shape is irregular", "too big", "too small". We call the vegetables “non-standard vegetables”. Dekovege Cafe(でこべじカフェ) buys the non-standard vegetables and regularly holds a cafe and cooking classes in various place.
On the day, a total of 31 people come to the event - not only tenants of Kyoto Kamigamo House, but people from other houses as well as neighbors participated.
They tried to make Dorayaki and Ichigo Daifuku! *Dorayaki - pancakes stuffed with sweet bean paste
*Ichigo Daifuku - consisting of a strawberry inside 'daifuku', which is a rice cake stuffed with sweet bean paste.
(In this time, we cooked tomatoes jam instead of sweet bean paste)
I will introduce the whole Wagashi making event (including Tea party and Drawing relay competition ) with photographs!
Kyoto Kamigamo House style!? Using nicknames makes each other close.
First of all, we worked on 3 teams; making Droayaki dumpling bean paste, Dorayaki dough making, and strawberry Daifuku team.It started to introduce themselves.
In order to complete the cooking, team work is necessary more than anything!
However ... It is difficult for both Japanese and foreigners to remember their names....
To solve the problem, we used Kyoto Kamigamo House style which is a way to call each other with a nickname. Although there are more than 20 people in the House, using nicknames made each other close and easy to memorize their names.

Calling with a nickname made each other close, soon after self-introduction, one team took self-shots!

It looks ugly, but taste is good!
Start cooking with the guidance of Dekovege Cafe staff!







"Ichigo Daifuku that we made together is delicious."
"I enjoyed making the sweets with tenants of the share house!"
There are a lot of voices that satisfy the making of Wagashi (Japanese sweets)!
We really appreciate Dekovege Cafe that gave us kindly guidance!
Who did you make a mistake? Drawing relay competition that was a great success
At the end of the tea party, "Team competing drawing relay contest" was held.The rules are simple!
Members of each team decide numbers from 1 to 8. First of all, No. 1 person can see a subject and draw the picture. Next, connect the picture to the direction No. 2, No.3...., and the last person (No.8) guess what the theme is and answer.
The subject was "rhinoceros"
This was the third term game and all three teams are at the top, so everyone was seriously working towards winning!



And the answer of Droayaki dumpling bean paste team is ..
""""Unicorn """ That was so funny we couldn't stop laughing!

"Come on!~ Daniel ~ !!"
After answering, everyone check where they were getting funny!
It is a game that everyone in the team cooperates and gets the correct answer.
While I was in charge of the moderator, I was pleased to see the situation where everyone was working hard and looked fun with team members!
Finally, it was the time to announce the result of this game!
The victorious team is...................
Dorayaki dough making team!

Thanks to S-san (middle photo) who was 88 years old, this team made it to the place!


Thank you again for the cooperation of Dekovege Cafe san!
Also, "multi-generation and multicultural communication" that was another purpose of this event.
I think that it was good opportunities to tell own thoughts to the other party with communication that is not only in languages such as English and Japanese, but also through body language.
