This was the 16th event and nearly 200 people including Mr. Yuichi Higuchi, the Mayor of Kofu City,took part in the event.<\/p>\n

International students introduced their cultures by entertaining community members with their hand-made dishes. There were 26 kinds of dishes from 11 countries (China, Pakistan, Malaysia, Germany, U.K., France etc.), and all these traditional dishes were tasty so much.<\/p>\n

As the highlight of the event, international students experienced Mochi-tsuki (pounding steamed sticky rice into rice cake) with the kind guidance by the members of Iwakubo Resident\u2019s Association.<\/p>\n

After enjoying the mochi, participants enjoyed chorus by the international students as well as traditional dram performance by Iwakubo Resident\u2019s Association. It was such a heart-warming day that further strengthened the tie between international students and local community.<\/p>\n
