On July 1st, 16 interns from National United University in Taiwan at Ube Kosen had an intercultural experience at an old folk house in Kusae, Ube city, as part of training programs.
In the old folk house.
The old folk house is in Kusae, Ube city, and it is located near Yamaguchi Ube airport. The house is 112 years old. The interns toured the traditional low-ceilinged Japanese house, and then ate “Temaki-zushi” (hand-rolled sushi) there.
The first experience of making hand-rolled sushi.
They have eaten “Nigiri-Zushi” (hand-shaped sushi) in Taiwan, but it was their first time to eat “Temaki-zushi”.
This event was hosted by “One For All (OFA)”, an incorporated non-profit organization. OFA is working for internationalization of Ube. OFA is engaged on effective use of deserted cultivated lands and old folk houses as one of “Proposed support projects of coordination town development in Ube for 2016”.
The vegetables in Temaki-zushi also were grown at the deserted cultivated land.
International exchange of Ube Kosen was limited on campus except sightseeing in Yamaguchi till last year. We will bring international students coming to Ube Kosen into having contact with local people, and we’d like to contribute to the development of international exchange of Ube.
