In 12th July, 2009, we held “International Exchange Party Brazil”.
The teacher was Kiyomi Edna Hirata, who is Coordinator for
International Relations (CIR) in Hikone city.
she taught Brazilian cooking, and introduced Brazilian culture and so on.

Cooking Lecture
We made three kinds of dishes. First we made potato salad, which
flavored with apple vinegar. Next we made “Pacoca”. It is sweets
of peanuts. Finally we made “Resoles”. It liked Brazilian croquette.
(It liked “Piroshki” in Russia too.)
They were easy to cook, and their stuffs were simple. Moreover
Japanese liked their tasete, so participants were satisfied with them.

When we ate them, she talked about history of Japanese immigrants
in Brazil. We could know relation between Brazil and Japan.
Then she introduced about Brazilian tea “Mate tea”. They drink
and hand round the Mate tea in Brazil. Participants tried to drink
it cautiously. I thought that their taste liked peppermint.

She introduced Brazilian food, World Heritage Site and so on.
Besides she introduced her hometown.
Finally she made questions about Brazil, such as true or false
question.
We could touch the Brazilian culture, and we had a enjoyable time!!
