[Let’s talk about JAPAN]
| Materials (Click to see text) | No. of Lessons | Content |
Japanese and Cherry Blossoms | 2L | Cherry blossoms seem to have magical power. Their blooming yet fleeting beauty fascinates us so much that we can’t help but go and see them. e blooming of cherry blossoms signals the arrival of spring and also symbolizes a new beginning in life. A new semester begins at school, new employees join the company, and we take a hopeful step forward, decorated with cherry blossoms. （From the text body） |
Japanese DNA in Tsukemono | 2L (2pts) | During the hot season, we crave salty and sour tsukemono (Japanese pickles) more than usual. Whether at home or at a sumptuous kaiseki dinner, it is hard to imagine a Japanese meal without tsukemono. They are a perfect accompaniment to rice and miso soup, and their crunchy, crispy, mouthwatering flavors are sure to delight your palate. （From the text body） |
Learn about Japan through “Sake” | 2L (2pts) | Daiginjo with its gorgeous aroma, ginjo with its elegant and refreshing taste, junmai with its deep flavor, honjozo with its refreshing taste, and sparkling sake with its effervescent type…… all have their own merits, so choose the one that best suits your mood and cuisine of the day. （From the text body） |
Dashi, the Secret of Japanese Cuisine | 2L (2pts) | The history of kombu is ancient, and according to a history book, it was presented to the Imperial Court in the Nara period (around the 8th century). At that time, kombu was highly prized. It was in the Kamakura period (around the 13th century) that it appeared as soup stock. In the latter half of the Edo period (around the 17th century), marine transport developed, and the kelp harvested in Ezochi (Hokkaido) was delivered by Kitamae ship from the Japan Sea side to Kyoto and Osaka and then to Qing (China) via Satsuma (Kagoshima) and Ryukyu (Okinawa) is route was called the “kelp road.” e majority of kelp is produced in the Ezochi, and as the sales channels were expanded, it spread to the general population. Hokuriku, which used to be a transit point for Kitamae ships, prospered as a kelp processing area and still boasts the highest consumption of kelp in Japan. （From the text body） |
Japanese people put their love into BENTO | 2L (2pts) | When we hear the word “bento,” I get kind of excited. Field trips, field days, picnics, and dates come to mind. The cook puts his/her heart and soul into cooking, envisioning the smiles of family, friends, and loved ones, and packs the finished dish with color, nutritional balance, and a sense of the season. The bento is also a great opportunity to show your lover that you are a good cook and perhaps make them like you more. （From the text body） |
The power of “incense” to dispel evil spirits | 2L (2pts) | Incense was first introduced to Japan around the year 538 when Buddhism was introduced. At that time, it was mainly used to purify Buddha altars and had strong religious connotations. In the Edo period (1603-1867), various manners and customs for appreciating incense, as well as incense implements, were prepared, and “Kodo” (the way of incense) was established. In Kodo, it is described as “listening to the fragrance,” where the mind is focused on the fragrance, the senses sharpened and quieted, and the fragrance is perceived. |
| Japanese People who Love Hot Springs  | 2L (2pts) | For Japanese people, the hot springs are a place where they can feel at home. When they are tired, when they have worked hard, when they are sad, when they want to talk slowly with friends, when they want to get together with family, when they want to make noise with friends, or when they want to spend a wonderful time with their loved ones, they invite people to go to the onsen. It is like a remedy that restores the body and mind. |
Other themes include Japanese culture, history, politics, economics, and society.
