On Nov. 30, the students organized the ”Kamado (cooking range) Day”.  Out in the open, 3 hagama (broad-brimmed cooking pot for rice) were arranged on the kamado (cooking range) made of stacked bricks, and new rice (the first crop of rice of the year) was cooked.
Pizza was also baked in the kamado made of L-shaped steel and bricks, and kenchin-jiru (Japanese tofu and vegetable soup) and sumitsukare, a local specialty, were also served to the locals.
The reconstruction support attempt by this Food Culture Team won the Semi Grand Prix at an international design competition, the Tokyo Designers Week 2013.  It was a remarkable achievement in that their activity, which brought about events and situations in the disaster stricken areas, was recognized by the design world.
