Our school provided a culture day type of event for all of the international students. It was held in the common room of our dorm from 11am to 12:45pm, so skipping wasn't exactly an option. It was really fun though, we got to try on kimonos, make green tea, eat traditional Japanese snacks, and learn traditional Japanese dance.
Japanese people love Mochi (rice cake) especially if it's packed with あんこ(anko). Red Bean Paste, it's in just about everything in Japan. It's tolerable but it's not my favorite.
To make traditional Japanese tea, you use a powder and bamboo brush. There are a whole bunch of other important steps involved, including certain ways to hold the bowl, certain ways to politely fold your napkin, etc. It's a very intricate process.
