summer in Japan. This was my first time making

soba noodles. affer that TakAyAmA

　Takayama's pottery is characterized by simple yet sophisticated designs, with an emphasis on

functionality and durability. While the company primarily uses traditional blue and white colors, it

also strives to create products that are appealing to consumers, pursuing a contemporary aesthetic.

The fusion of good old traditions and new sensibilities is what makes the company's products so

popular and appealing both in Japan and overseas.j

my second day,

I also had the chance to try my hand at making

pizza myself. Given Hasami-cho's deep connection

to ceramics, I was able to watch a restaurant serve

pizza on beautifully crafted Hasami-yaki plates,

creating a special dining experience that

connected with the town's cultural heritage.

we did a famous activity in

Hasami called "promi" where

we beautifully painted a

famous sapanese

Town,

The third day

Afterwards, we also had the

experience of making our own

"food samples (shokuhin

sanpuru)."

Food samples are very realistic food models that are generally made by hand using

materials such as plastic and wax. They are mainly used to present restaurant menus

in an easy-to-understand and attractive way. I made my own "mini parfait" sample,

which was one of the most fun experiences I had during this activity.
