The 29th Meeting of the International Women’s Association
in Akita was a great success.
JIZAIYA, as usual, was another wonderful day out. 7 members took part.
Starting at 10.45 a.m. from Jizaiya house down the country lanes,
passing rice paddies being planted by neighbouring farmers, we made our way
through lots of MOUNTAIN VEGETABLES (Sansai) and Mr Kawai explained many points
of interest, on how to pick them and on how not to collect the poisonous
plants. We picked quite a lot of sansei
for our own tempura treats at home. On
our arrival back at the house Mrs Kawai had cooked a whole selection of foods
for us to enjoy. We all enjoyed
listening to Mr Kawai’s stories handed down from his ancestors.
We were able to make DAMAKO (rice ball) SOUP and we could take a lot
of the delicious foods home with us so we had no need to cook that evening!
Many thanks for Mrs S for all her arrangements and many thanks to Mr
& Mrs Kawai who once again made us so welcome and delighted us all. THANK YOU.
