There are many unique customs that are etched into Japanese culture, and one is the giving of summer gifts called Ochu-gen. If you go to any department store or grocery store around this time, you’ll see numerous displays of boxed gifts for Ochu-gen.
We would like to thank everyone who stopped by our booth at the British School and Yokota events this weekend. Saturday was a very wet day and we were glad to see everyone who braved the rain to join us. We plan to participate in more events in Japan this year, so we’ll keep you updated where we will be next.
Hope to see you soon.
Over the past weekend, UJ participated at the Yokosuka Bazaar at the US Naval base. We had a great time and there was a wonderful turnout. We want to thank everyone who stopped by our booth and checked out our products. If you missed us, don’t worry, we plan on being at the Yokota Bazaar next weekend. Hope to see you there.
