Kokumaro? Golden Curry? Vermont Curry? Ever walked into a supermarket and wondered what those curry blocks are and how to use them?
Greetings, everyone!
That’s right! For the month of September, we are again shining our spotlight on one of Japan’s popular dishes, Kare Raisu! “Kare” translates as “curry”, and “raisu” is “rice”. Why is this dish so popular? In Japan, curry sauce mixes often come in the form of blocks, which makes making this dish easier and more convenient compared to other Japanese dishes. Which is why we’re inviting you down to join us, so we can teach you how to make this simple dish in your very own kitchen! Fear not! The blocks of curry shall no longer puzzle you with their strangeness!
Don’t miss this opportunity! Join our Kare Raisu making session! We will teach and guide you to make this wonderful and simple dish.

Hey everyone,
Are you interested to learn more about Japanese traditional music? Or considering spending a culturally-enriching Sunday afternoon with Japanese drums?
Originating from ancient times as a form of communication, traditional Japanese drums, Taiko, have become closely associated with Japanese festivals and in present day, its dynamic rhythm is still being used to celebrate openings and grand occasions. The drum ensembles have also evolved from just drums to include a wide variety of Japanese instruments.
In conjunction with the annual Japanese Cultural Festival, the Japanese Cultural Society Singapore is presenting a public performance of Japanese Drums and Dance at the Victoria Theatre this month.
Date: 30 August 2009 (Sunday)
Time: 2.30pm onwards (admission to concert hall will be refused for latecomers)

SEAL points will be awarded to students who have attended the concert.
We look forward to seeing you there!
