  • ~We live thanks to life. Learn from chickens about the meaning of "itadakimasu" (thank you for the meal)~ [Event details] This will be a workshop where participants will slaughter a live chicken and prepare it into meat. Each participant will slaughter one chicken. (Staff will assist children.) Eating meat means eating the flesh of a living animal. The meat we eat every day comes from a living creature. It's a common sense when you think about it, but in today's world where eating meat is a given, the concept that meat = life tends to become diluted. By slaughtering a chicken with your own hands, you can learn about the process of how a living creature becomes meat. This will be a form of food education for children, and a stepping stone for those aiming to obtain a hunting license, as participants will slaughter and cook the chicken while thinking about "life." For lunch, we will prepare fresh eggs received that morning from a poultry farmer. *Due to Food Sanitation Law, we will need some help with cooking. ~~ ... The talk will cover topics such as the chickens whose lives will soon be taken and rural life in the local Akiruno Akigawa Valley. There will be a Q&A session and discussion among participants. Lunch will begin at 12:30. The lunch will use eggs laid that morning from the poultry farm that supplied the chickens to be slaughtered that day, and due to Food Sanitation Laws, some assistance will be required. From 13:30, chickens will be slaughtered and butchered. The meat will be cooked and you will be able to take it home. From 16:30, clean up, share impressions, take group photos, etc. From 17:00, the event will end and disband. *The event will end at the venue. 12-minute walk to the station ~~ ...
