把握日本友人 Makoto 來台灣的時間，我們帶著嚮光樂齡一起製作壽司和體驗超有趣的流水麵！這個活動可以學習到日本文化和捲壽司，從遊戲中訓練手眼協調，還能學習擺盤，培養藝術感。
我們努力地四處尋找，終於在桃園找到流水麵的竹子，我們成功打造出這個美味的經典夏日工作坊，因為時間有限，純植物食材皆是事先在前一晚和當天早上準備的，有紅蘿蔔、小黃瓜、氣炸地瓜條、泡菜、素肉鬆和豆皮……等等。
聽說在之前的壽司課程，如果塞很多食材進去捲，壽司會變成飯糰，所以這次我們特別精心製作，確保他們可以獲得不一樣的體驗，得到全新的創作，樂齡們都很願意學習，當切壽司時，他們都睜大雙眼欣賞美麗的壽司剖面。

我們早起去內湖花市選購一些漂亮的葉子和花，讓他們可以運用在擺盤上，當壽司裝盤後，大家前往外面進行流水麵挑戰，分成幾組互相 PK 看看能用筷子夾多少麵、小番茄和葡萄，有些人出奇招使用雙手抓取食物，最終以同分打平，整場活動充滿歡笑，玩得盡興最重要！
感謝 Makoto 帶來日本糖果和大家分享，一起度過美好的一天，很期待下次再見！
With our Japanese friend Makoto visiting Taiwan, we wanted to take this chance for our older persons to experience sushi making and participating in the super fun nagashi somen (flowing noodles)! Being able to learn a bit of culture along with some hand eye coordination with the games and sushi rolling, we also incorporated plating to allow for more artistic expression.
After searching high and low and finally all the way to Taoyuan for the bamboo structure for the noodles, we put together one of our delicious classic summertime workshops. Plant-based ingredients were all prepped the night before and the morning of due to the time we were limited to and included carrots, cucumbers, air fried sweet potato strips, kimchi, vegan pork floss, tofu skin, and more.
We had heard that in a previous sushi class, the sushi rolls turned into rice balls as everyone stuffed everything they could into it so we were very careful in our design to ensure that this time they would obtain a different experience and also have a brand new creation. Our older friends were extremely willing to learn and their eyes widened as they sliced their sushi rolls and saw how wonderfully each piece turned out.
Gorgeous leaves and flowers were available to enhance the plating and we are so glad we made the early morning trip to the Neihu flower market for these! After the sushi was plated, we headed outside for a light competitive nagashi somen by splitting into teams and seeing how much noodles, cherry tomatoes, and grapes they could grab with their chopsticks. Although some got creative by using their own hands, there was plenty of laughter from everyone and we called the competition a tie from all groups – having fun is the most important!
Thank you Makoto for bringing back Japanese sweets for our older friends that they shared to end a great day, we look forward to seeing our older friends again soon!
