On January 21, Health Service Center held a food education program "Kanazawa Food Culture Experience: Nigirizushi Class" jointly with KEYPAT*. 21 students including 5 international students and 4 faculty members participated in the program.
Under the guidance of Katsuaki Yoshida, the owner of Sentori Zushi, the participating students made nigirizushi and inarizushi (triangle-shaped Kansai-style sushi) using six types of fish: tuna, bigeye tuna, flatfish, squid, sweet shrimp, and salmon caught locally in Wajima and elsewhere.
Mr. Yoshida explained the participants about different types of sushi, the history of sushi culture in the Kanto and Kansai regions, and sushi-making techniques. Afterwards, they compared the sushi made by the master and the sushi made by the students, and enjoyed eating Kanazawa's local "Mettajiru" together.
Students who participated in the event said, that "it was interesting to learn about sushi. I enjoyed interacting with people I had never met before", "I was impressed by the beauty of the master's work", "I am no match for a 60-year professional", "I could feel the difference between the rice the chefr made and the rice I made" and "It was very interesting!"
