★SUNTORY☆

I took part in a class going to SUNTORY Kyushu Kumamoto Plant with overseas students. There are 6 Japanese students including me as assistants. Four people are from Eibei and two are from Higashi Asia. We study teaching Japanese to foreigners.

We went to the plant by bus. I sat on next to Canadian student so we talked about Canada, Saint Marys University, Japanese culture, foods, and so on:)
When we arrived the plant, we had a shopping time. There were a lot of goods in the shop near to entrance of the plant. For example, there were many kinds of glass, goods of character of drink, beer, other alcohol drinks and so on.
Then we started to watch the plant. We learned that barley, hop, and water are important to make beer. We ate barley and we smelled flavor of hop. Someone said barley was sweet taste but I didn't think so. I thought it was not good taste:(
We have a tasting time in the end. I couldn't drink beer so I drink a glass of orange juice named "natchan!".

We had a good time!!!!! I want to take part in the class again;) I will go to YACHIO-ZA next time.
