令和6年能登半島の地震と豪雨による被害の御見舞と早い復興を願います。 私は趣味としてDIYを楽しんでいて小さな物から大きな物まで修理したり作成したりしています。 (写真:梅津正道隊員撮影) I wish to express my condolences for the damage caused by the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake and torrential rains, and hope for an early recovery. I enjoy DIY as a hobby, repairing and making small and big things.
I tried the handmade soba introductory course. This is the first day of a total of 4 sessions. I made 500 grams of 2-8 soba noodles. My back hurts because I’m not used to it. After finishing the cooking, I learned how to boil it and tasted it. I took home what I made and ate it right away at home. The soba noodles you make yourself are very delicious.

2回目の講習に行きました。雰囲気が少し分った気がします。
I went to the second course. I feel like I understand the atmosphere a little bit.
This is my third class. At the beginning of class, it’s time to watch O-sensei’s sample moves and steal techniques. It looks amazing when you look at it, but when you put it into practice, it falls apart. We add water to make it the perfect softness (water turning), but if you add too much water, you won’t be able to get it back to its original state, so you have to be very careful and it takes too much time. This water turning seems to be the key point (key to success). This time, all seven tables were occupied and the place was very lively.
Today is the final day of the introductory course. In the end I hit 750 grams. Graduation anyway? It’s over. In the future, I would like to try making it myself since I already have the buckwheat flour and tools (often given to me).
There is a 6 hour time difference with Japan. If you look at it from 3pm to 9pm, you should see a bright screen (August to May) From May to July, there is polar night, so it only gets light around 6pm. (When the weather is nice). If the weather is bad due to a blizzard, you may see outside lights to ensure safety.
