In preparation for the upcoming APCC Bridge Summer Camp, the 2024 Junior Ambassadors participated in a sleepover over the May 2024 Memorial Day weekend that was hosted by the Liaison Officer with assistance from the Bridge Club Vice President, Alexa (JA 2014). The JAs enjoyed a dinner that “challenged” them to try new Japanese foods that they might not have previously eaten. The meal began with the popular edamame and then proceeded with many other interesting foods like hiyayakko, goma wakame, miso soup, takuan, chawan mushi, tori no kuwayaki, sashimi, tobiko, gari, hijiki, iidako, natto and Daifuku mochi. Everyone enthusiastically tried tasting all of the interesting foods.
