We will celebrate “Keiro no Hi”Hi”(Respect the Elderly Day) which will be observed in Japan this year on Sept 18 th. The elderly members of our Society have contributed in many ways over the years since our founding in 1985 so we certainly want to recognize and thank them Traditionally, obento is served on this day, so our Wakabakai group (ladies group) will prepare the obento to this luncheon.

For this luncheon, we will celebrate Tanabata, the Japanese Star Festival. We will bring back our “Izakaya” style food booths serving okonomiyaki, yakisoba, yakitori, takoyaki, and red bean popsicles.

For June, we will enjoy a relaxing luncheon. Our program for the day will be watching the movie Jiro Dreams of Sushi, while eating sushi!

Takigomi gohan is japanese mixed rice with seasonal ingredients.

Setsubun Festival, or the bean-throwing festival, celebrates the beginning of spring by ridding evil spirits that bring sickness and prevent good fortune.

Our most heavily attended luncheon each year is our Oshogatsu luncheon.

This is probably because it is potluck and everyone brings in their favorite dish.

If that’s not the reason, it’s because of our prized filled raffle where nearly everyone goes home with a prize! There is no charge for this luncheon – except your potluck contribution.

Dishes do not need to be Japanese, all food is welcome.
