The International Curry Party was held by Kokusaibu (a student club) at Tokachi Plaza in front of Obihiro Station on Sunday, October 29.
This event was held to promote international exchange between local residents and nonJapanese residents in Obihiro through cooking and the curries of various countries. It was attended by 51 people.
After an opening address by Kokusaibu’s Daisuke Goshima, a first-year student on the Master’s Program of Food Science at OUAVM’s Graduate School of Animal Husbandry, Indian, Thai, Sri Lankan, Vietnamese and Japanese curries were made under the instruction of OUAVM international students. The five types of curries were compared by participants, who said that real Indian curry was good, and that they were happy because they ate some curries for the first time. All curries were very popular and gone in no time.
Participants deepened exchanges by introducing each country’s dietary culture and enjoying games.
