Nagomi Visit
2023-09-02
Describe your host?
[My host] is a very kind, helpful and nice lady. She is a bakery teacher so she has a natural passion for cooking, in fact we cooked something together for the dinner and it was very funny. [My host] loves to travel a lot and see the world, and this makes her a curious person with many things to tell and with which it is nice to have a real cultural exchange.
What did you talk about during your Nagomi Visit?
During the dinner we talked about several things: Japanese and Italian cuisine, [my host]'s job and [my host]'s sons, the countries that she visited in Europe and our journey in Japan. There were also some curiosities about Japanese and Italian habits.
Did you make any new discoveries?
We tasted the real mochi! We also learned about the Japanese school system.
What did you eat?
Hosomaki, cold soba, corn and edamame tempura, an appetizer with eggplant (I don't remember the name), mochi dessert and matcha tea.
If you participated with others, what were their thoughts about the Nagomi Visit?
My husband is excited about Nagomi Visit, he liked it and it is an experience he would like to do again.
What was your most memorable moment?
It was fun to shoot some polaroids together.
Do you still keep in touch with your host?
We told [my host] that when she comes to Italy we will be happy to have her as our guest and she will also be happy to meet us again when we will return to Japan.
