Drum Can Pizza Party

Oil drum pizza and BBQ on an autumn Sunday!

There was shaved ice, meat, yakitori, and everyone could add toppings to the hand-kneaded pizza dough.

The event was a great success with just under 70 people in attendance!

It was delicious. I'll do it again.

Drum Can Pizza Party

Pizza in a drum can and BBQ on an autumn Sunday sounds great!

A total of just under 100 people, including 60-65 adults and around 30 children, participated in the fun pizza party. Not only pizza, but also sausages, meat, and fish, which children love, were also served, making it a very luxurious event.

The homemade pizza dough made from flour was delicious and a big hit!

We held a Nagashi Somen event on a hot summer day. We also had watermelon smashing and charcoal grilled meat, and it was a huge success with many people coming!

thank you very much.

Drum pizza oven
Renewal

The pizza oven that was previously in use has been refurbished. It was actually a homemade oven made by the Bonfire Club.

I did a test bake in June. I set up a thermometer and tried out different baking methods, researched various things about chimneys, and experimented with the amount of firewood and baking time.

The actual event is scheduled for autumn. Stay tuned!

Pre-mochi pounding party

(The actual event will be held on January 14th.)

It has felt as if time has stopped since 2020, but various events are finally starting to be held this year.

This event was held as a practice for the resumption of mochi-pounding, and nearly 80 people came to the event. We had roasted sweet potatoes and takoyaki, and it was a fun day for the first time in a while.

January 14th is going to be a busy New Year's Day!
