Mr. Akiyama gave a cooking demonstration of "Chicken Nanban" using chicken, which is also popular in Jamaica, and "Norimaki" in which students could choose their own ingredients. During the cooking demonstration, students from the school also tried to make these plates and deepened their knowledge of Japanese Cuisine.
