Hey guys!
I am sorry that it took a while to write this last entry about the Japanweek but I was busy. However, hope you like it ^_^/
May 5th programm
- Calligraphy course
- Cooking course
Around 12 pm the Calligraphy course started ~
First they talked about the history of Calligraphy and then they showed us the basic techniques - not easy! After this we had to try writing the following Kanji which means 'kome' (米 - rice):

Then we had to choose a Kanji we like the most - I took botan - peony, my favourite flower.

 |
| left: original - right: my first try =D *fail* |
and the final result written on ricepaper:
 |
| needs more practice, I know ;-) |
I think for my first try it went pretty well (*coughs*). But to be very good you have to train for years *haha* It was really a nice experience though =3
Menu of the day at the maid café was Yakisoba (I adore noodles *laughs*)
 |
| totemo oishikatta desu - was very delicious ♥ |
15 pm - time for the Cooking course!
 |
| our working places ~ |
We were seperated into 2 groups - the course instructor first talked about the history of rice. I always thought that rice came originally from China but I was wrong, it has its origin in Korea *haha*
Further they showed us the many many rice varieties, rice products and meals cooked with rice:
 |
| onigiri ♥ |

 |
| cute bentos and onigiri ♥ |
 |
| furikake and a traditional Japanese meal ♥ |
Then we learned how to wash rice correctly:
After this we went to another room where we all cooked chicken teriyaki together. I am a big fan of teriyaki-sauce ♥ The taste is just awesome!

 |

Then we roasted the chicken meat and added the sauce in the end:
 |
| oishisou desu ne - looks delicious, right? |
Back in the first room, we all made miso soup together but first they told us about the different types of miso:
 |
| right: Mamemiso is very salty and has a harsh taste |
 |
| right: white and red miso |
I didn´t know that there are so many miso sorts in Japan (^~^)"
For our miso soup we used white and red miso paste:
 |
| left: nori (seaweed) and right: red miso |
 |
| left: chopped leek - right: adding miso paste |
 |
| our selfmade miso soup *o* |
And here you can see the final result of the cooking course - itadakimasu ♥

| right: with tofu was also super delicious ^ _ ^)/ |
