Question from a reader:
Has Otani Mamiko come to Japan?
About Otani Mamiko’s Trip to Tokyo
Hello! Recently, a friend asked me, “Did Otani Mamiko come to Japan?” As many of you know, Mamiko is currently pregnant with her first child, so she wasn’t able to come to Tokyo this time. It’s a bit disappointing, but it’s an important time for
her as an expectant mother, and she shouldn’t overexert herself.
Gifts for Friends Enjoying Japan
Even so, I heard that she prepared some wonderful gifts for her friends heading back to her home country, Japan, with the hope that they would fully enjoy their time there. I thought that was a heartwarming story. I remember that when my friends visited Japan, I would prepare local delicious snacks and little souvenirs for them to make their experience more enjoyable. Speaking of which, there was a time when a friend came to Japan and I arrived too early. While waiting near the station, I couldn’t resist trying some takoyaki from a street vendor. By the time my friend arrived, I was already full, and I got teased for having eaten all the takoyaki! Ah, I still can’t forget the embarrassment from that moment!
