It\u2019s an unusual concept\u00a0to\u00a0those of us accustomed to a September \u2018back to school\u2019 season. Seasonally speaking, April is the perfect time to begin something new. The dead months of winter are long gone, new life is all around, and the opportunities for new beginnings are just about endless.<\/p>\n<p>In true Japanese style, the practice of heading back to school would not be complete without some kind of ceremony or ritual. After all, it is a very special moment for children, and can be quite scary! Don\u2019t you remember?<\/p>\n<p><em>Nyuugakushiki <\/em>or school entrance ceremonies are held across the country in the beginning of April.\u00a0 It is a time for upperclassmen to welcome incoming students and for all to think about what kind of year they\u2019d like to lead. Older students and parents will take their seats in the school gym as new students march in to be welcomed by a round of applause. It is a wonderful way to join students together indeed.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/school.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1064 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/school.jpg\" alt=\"school\" width=\"242\" height=\"184\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>During this ceremony, the school principal might talk about what\u2019s ahead and introduce the teachers. An older student or two will typically say a few words to help ease the nerves of younger children. The ceremony would not be complete without singing the school song to bring all children together!<\/p>\n<p>While most of our \u2018back to school\u2019 days have long passed, we can still take time to think about what\u2019s to come in the approaching spring and summer months-and what a fantastic time to ponder! A new project, a family vacation, or a blow out party just might be the inspiration for new beginnings! Whatever it is you decide for the next few months, we are sure it will be filled with food, friends, and happy memories. Welcome to spring!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Randoseru: Not your Mamma\u2019s Jansport<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Japanese school children have the coolest backpacks! In fact, they\u2019re not even called backpacks; they\u2019re called <em>randoseru.<\/em> See, they even sound cooler! If you have ever been to Japan, read manga, or seen an episode of <em>Pokemon,<\/em> then surely you have seen the stiff leather bags strapped to the backs of kids in Japan.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/randoseru.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1065\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/randoseru.jpg\" alt=\"randoseru\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The name <em>randoseru <\/em>actually comes from the Dutch word <em>ransel, <\/em>which means backpack. These sturdy leather varieties were brought to Japan in the 19<sup>th<\/sup> Century and became a must-have item in the later half of the 20<sup>th<\/sup>. Kids receive their first <em>randoseru <\/em>at age 6 and are expected to keep the same one until 6<sup>th<\/sup> grade! It\u2019s not exactly the same disposable mentality over there, eh?<\/p>\n<p>That longevity does come with a price however. <em>Randoseru <\/em>cost anywhere from $350-<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/randoseru02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-1066\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/randoseru02.jpg\" alt=\"randoseru02\" width=\"251\" height=\"170\" \/><\/a>$600! They are mostly expensive because of the high quality leather. If you are looking to save you can find synthetic varieties at lower prices. They are becoming quite popular these days! Kids love to add accessories, covers, and charms to their backpacks, and you can find endless bits and bobbles in shops around Japan.<\/p>\n<p>If you are intrigued by these long-lasting backpacks, we have good news for you. They can actually be found easily online these days. How is that for a fashion statement?<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Myouga, a Delicat<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>e Early Summer Herb<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It looks like a baby onion, tastes like a mild ginger, and will add extra zing to any dish! We are talking about <em>Myouga<\/em> or Myoga ginger. These delicate little guys are best enjoyed when they are soft and young. Cultivated year round, we recommend enjoying in the <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1067 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/myouga.jpg\" alt=\"myouga\" width=\"223\" height=\"169\" \/>months of June to September. That\u2019s when their flavor is best!<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t noticed these guys around, it\u2019s probably because you didn&#8217;t know to look. Myoga ginger is widely available at most Japanese markets and online. That\u2019s good news because Myoga ginger goes with just about everything.<\/p>\n<p>Our favorite way to enjoy this punchy ingredient is raw and thinly shaved over noodles, tofu and salad. We also recommend it finely chopped in salad dressings and marinades, or finished with pan sauces. You can even dry them in an oven at low heat for crispy ginger chips or pickle them in vinegar for a sour snack.

They are the kind of tools you didn&#8217;t know you couldn&#8217;t live without. Once you start using <em>ohitsu<\/em> &amp; <em>shamoji<\/em>, you will use them every single day. Now, what are they?<\/p>\n<p><em>Ohitsu <\/em>means rice tub. They are the old school covered rice bowls that come in a variety of materials from the classic wood to plastic, and even ceramic. You can keep your rice in <em>ohitsu <\/em>for serving at table.
