Last month the Junior Group of the Japan-British Society held a traditionally British Christmas party. In the revelry of a Tokyo British pub, participants enjoyed roast turkey and stuffing, and mince pies with cream and brandy sauce.
This month, the group's first gathering of the new year will be traditionally Japanese. Celebrants will pound rice cakes and drink sake and be entertained in time-honored ways.
Next month, the group plans an overnight ski trip to the British Hills in Fukushima. According to Junko Okura, a longtime member of the Japan-British Society, juniors in the context of this group are the under-30s.
