皆さん、明けましておめでとうございます。
新年をお祝いするWAOのパーティーイベントが築70年の歴史を持つ京町屋造りのゲストハウス、「まくや」で行われました。今回も大勢の方がイベントに参加しました。

Some card games and snacks to start the evening.

木造の梁や扉、木枠の窓、アンティークな振り子時計や調度品の数々の何気ない演出で昭和初期にタイムスリップしたような気分にさせてくれる、どこか懐かしくてそれでいてモダンな感じもする不思議な空間でした。
Then not long later, 手巻き寿司began.

Tongの日本語での新年の挨拶の後に皆で乾杯。火鉢の金網に載せて焼かれたやわらか~い黄粉餅がふるまわれました。またアボガド、ソーセージ、納豆、かにかまぼこ、卵焼き、マグロ、etc.具沢山の手巻き寿司を思い思いに創作して堪能しました。

乾杯!

前回のWAOのイベントを通して仲良くなった友達や今日知り合ったばかりの新しい友達と掘炬燵を囲んでトランプをして遊んだり、旅行の話や仕事の話、プライベートトークに花を咲かせて談笑しました。とてもアットホームで和やかな雰囲気だったのであっと言う間にお開きの時間が来てしまいました。

This is the "VIP" table, the only table with 炬燵

たまたま座った席が掘り炬燵で気持ち良すぎて移動する気にはなれず、残念ながら他のテーブル席の方々と話す機会を持たなかった事に少しばかり反省。^_^; 次回のイベントでゆっくりとお話する事ができれば幸甚です。
Yoshi-san is a tea producer, he brought along some really good tea to go along with the 焼き餅

皆さんにとって2011年が素敵な一年となります様、心からお祈り申し上げます。今年もどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。m(__)m

The rice we had for 手巻き寿司 came from the paddy field in Manami's house in Shiga!
おいしいいいいい!

最後にWAOのorganizersのみなさん、いつもユニークで楽しいイベント企画を考えてくれてどうもありがとう!(~o~)
