Kimono & Homecooking

I met Miyakawa-san once before, during my first year on JET, when I went to check out a taiko-drumming group. And over four years later, I see her again when she transferred to one of my schools, actually she recognised me first since I could not for the life of me remember who she was.

I was invited over to try some stage kimono that her late mother had left behind. Afterwards, I was treated to some Japanese homecooking, and she completely outdid herself with this feast she'd prepared. It was so good... and it tasted all the better knowing that someone had taken the time and effort to prepare it for me. I came away with a pair of kimono and a doggy bag of yumminess.
