Konjac-Making Workshop: From Bulb to Jelly
November 3, 2026
Learn how to make konjac jelly from konjac bulbs. Participants will prepare both white and grey varieties. Homemade konjac has a unique taste. According to Chief Priest Kanae Hoshino, during the Buddha Bathing Festival it is said, 'Konjac was the first food Buddha ate after enlightenment.' (As this is a Zen temple, this is shared more as a tradition than as historical fact.) What do you think about the idea of Buddha eating konjac after enlightenment? In December’s Buddha Bathing Festival, konjac dishes will also be prepared.
