(February 9) Holiday In the morning, I went for a walk for about an hour. Since I cook my own breakfast every morning, I decided to have an Italian-style breakfast at a bar today. I was planning to stroll around looking for a good bar, but I found the word “GIAPPONESE” on the signboard and entered the restaurant! The menu I ordered was “Caffe con latte” and, what was it? I found curry bread. Without hesitation, I ordered the curry bread. It was a strange combination, but I had the curry bread warmed up and ate it with a fork and knife. I was able to order and ask them […]
Cooking Lessons Cooking lessons begin with Tuscan cuisine, of which Florence is the capital. Students try various recipes of Tuscan and Northern Italian cuisine! There were many unfamiliar tasks such as using ingredients that are rare in Japan, crushing basil from a stone mortar to make Genovese sauce, and cooking vegetables for a long time to make stewed broadsides, but we were able to experience many different things! 料理レッスン 料理レッスンは、フィレンツェが州都であるトスカーナ料理からレッスンが始まります。 トスカーナ料理、北イタリア料理とさまざまなレシピに挑戦！ 日本では珍しい食材を使ったり、石臼からバジルを潰しジェノベーゼソースを作ったり、野菜を長時間かけて煮込みブロードを作ったりと慣れない作業も多かったですが、いろいろな経験ができました！ I also enjoyed studying abroad in Italy. Florence is a world heritage city, so even just walking around the city was exciting! We went to the Uffizi Gallery to see the famous “Birth of Venus” and visited a […]

“Thanks to you, I enjoyed my four weeks in Florence and have returned home. It was a great experience. I really enjoyed it. I would like to go back again. Thank you very much.” 「お陰様でフィレンツェの4週間、楽しく過ごし帰国しました。 良い経験をさせて頂きました。本当に楽しかったです。 もう一度行きたいです。ありがとうございました」 Florence, the city of flowers. After arriving at the Florence airport, I started my study abroad program in Italian cuisine. We were welcomed by the red-roofed Duomo, the symbol of Florence, and finally started the Italian home cooking lesson! The cooking lessons were full of unique Italian ingredients that are hard to find in Japan and can only be experienced locally in Italy. We learned recipes that have been handed down from generation […]
” Thanks to you, I was able to have a very fulfilling study abroad experience. Thank you very much.” BAG MAKING LESSON Students are carefully guided through the bag-making process one by one! The students create a design from a rough sketch and make a paper pattern based on the sketch. The leather is cut, the leather is stripped using a leather-stripping machine, and the bag is sewn using an assembly machine. The process was very detailed and difficult, but with the guidance of the veteran craftsman, a very nice bag was created. 「おかげさまで、とても充実した留学生活を送る事ができました。ありがとうございました。」 バッグメイキングのレッスン カバン作りの工程を、一つ一つ丁寧に指導してもらいます！ ラフスケッチからデザイン画をおこし、それを元に型紙を作成。 革を切り、革剥ぎ機を使用し革の裏を剥ぎ、組み立てミシンを使って縫製。 工程が細かくあり大変な部分もありましたが、ベテラン職人の先生の指導もあってとても素敵なバッグが出来上がりました。 Enjoying time off! We also enjoyed sightseeing in Italy. We ate […]
