A new project has been launched in Niigata University's community-based educational program, “Double Home.” It is called “Omusubi Enmusubi Project.”

Students will create their own original recipes for rice balls, using local ingredients from regions where the “Double Home” project is taking place.
It aims to increase the opportunities for them to interact with local people and deepen their understanding on the areas through making their original recipes, utilizing the characteristics of the regions.

Prior to the start of the project, a workshop on rice balls took place on 17 November, inviting cookery expert Ms. SATO Chikako.
Ms. SATO explained how versatile rice balls could be, introducing various colours of them in different sizes. Students listened to her eagerly, and tried to imagine what kind of rice balls they could make.

They are planning to hold a presentation workshop in January next year.
We look forward to seeing new and creative recipes!
