HOKUDAISAI 2004
The food festival in
Hokkaido University occurs every year during
the first week of June. As usual, in this year
also, Nepali stall was decorated with posters
and banners. Moreover, Nepali songs made the
environment really enjoyable. Everyday,
foreign friends from Bangladesh, India,
Mexico, and Russia danced with Nepalese in
Nepali songs, a unique experience in
HOKUDAISAI. This International Festival
scheduled from 2004/6/4(Friday) to
2004/6/6(Sunday). The first two days was from
10.00 am to 9.00 pm and the third day till
2.00 pm.

Hokudai paid serious
attention on hygienic aspect during food
preparation and selling this year. Therefore,
preparatory activities before the cooking
(Chopping, cleaning, mixing etc) were done
inside the room. For this purpose, Hokudai
provided a room at the Agriculture Faculty.
Nepali dishes included chicken curry and rice,
Momo, Nepali Tea, and Nepali Everest beer.
Till last year, HUNSA and HONESS (Hokkaido
Nepal Sagarmatha Samaj) used to participate
jointly. However, this year, HUNSA organized
this Nepali stall exclusively. Like those of
previous years, customers liked all four
Nepalese food/drink items. Nepalese stall was
one of the attractive ones among numerous
stalls opened in that festival. The net
earning by Nepalese students was more than
double than that of the last year.
