Activity lunch for this month is Hiyashi Chuka (cold noodle). Summer Camp and Zo students enjoyed preparing their own toppings (hams, eggs, and cucumbers) and sauce on the top of noodles. Some children put the toppings on the top of noodles, some are laid toppings beside noodles neatly. It was a lot of fun to put topping with friends and tasted very special.
