The Japanese Superfood Natto Workshop went really well — thanks to Healthy Darwin and Tammy san for their support.
A big thank‑you also to Allan Mitchell, who kindly helped me to promote this event to achieve high attendance.

Everyone gave this unique food a try, and surprisingly every participant was able to eat natto. That’s an incredibly high success rate, considering that in Japan it’s said that around 30% of people dislike natto and won’t eat it at all. I’m genuinely amazed by how willing Darwin people are to try something new and embrace multicultural experiences.

I also had an interview with ABC Radio on the same day. The presenter, Amelia, has been searching for natto in Darwin for a long time because she’s vegetarian — and I’m so glad she finally had the chance to enjoy it.

Looking for a fun challenge? Come and try making super tiny origami cranes and turn them into earrings or necklaces! They’re very small, so it’s a bit tricky—but also very rewarding. Workshop fee: $60 per person

We also offer our regular origami earring-making workshop. These handmade pieces make wonderful Christmas gifts for anyone looking for something special and unique.

I had the chance to showcase my yukata (Japanese summer kimono) made with Aboriginal art fabric at the Territory Proud event. NT Government Minister Ms. Robyn Cohill kindly tried one on—she looked stunning and mentioned she’d love to wear it during an upcoming business trip to Japan. If that happens, it would be such an exciting and meaningful moment!
