Host Family



The JSPS's one week orientation program sets fellows up to stay with a host family for a weekend to get acquainted with Japanese folk.



Fujimoto Family: Chizu-san (mama), Yuji (25), Tatsushi (22), Shunji (19). Yokohama suburbs. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that all of them liked prog. rock, specifically King Crimson, and industrial, such as Autechre.


Crazy delicious home prepared sashimi (tuna, hake, salmon, salmon eggs, octopus), eel, sliced cucumbers, leaves, pickled ginger, japanese plums, ofcourse rice, ofcourse miso (not pictured), and fried lotus root (not pictured) ...





Japan's valiant effort wasn't enough for Netherlands.


Fermented soybean paste made every six months in the Fujimoto house as the essential stock for their daily intake of miso. Sugoi Oishi!!

We play hard and we grub hard.
