Our Chef of this meetup is attending OCC Graduation ceremony on 3rd Sat - this meetup will be on 4th Sat this month.


Maggie was very kind to offer her place for the picnic! She has recently got a baby Cherry tree in front of her house, so hopefully petals are going to be still attached when we meet.... Either way, it is still nice to get a fresh air outside of Maggie's beautiful home (she recently added tea ceremony room) and enjoy the bento box. Thanks Maggie. :D (I'll plan this better next year!)

The picture attached to this page is her sakura tree. Lovely~~

Her house is in the newly developed are so it doesn't pin point on regular google or yahoo maps. (unless you have the latest version) So type in street name only, and it'll give you the entrance of the street. Then, drive futher down to #3903. (Her house is on the right side)


Japanese Bento Box (*Homemade - style) and Tea: $16 (will need to be cash payment please)
Please let me know if you are vegetarian/Vegan.

*Junko-san will be preparing them at her restaurant she works, and she had an idea to make springy home-style bento, so these are different from typical Japanese restaurants around here.

Since I need to pass special order through Junko-san, please RSVP a week in advance to give her accurate RSVP. Thank you for your cooperation.

    • “ Maggie was a great host and we all enjoyed her place, especially the washitsu with tatami where we ate obento. Junko added a home touch on obento which was great too. It was a nice change to meet outside of roji. Everyone seem to exchanging info among each other about Japan they know which is always great. ”
    • “ Every time I go to Japanese Meetup, I have a wonderful time, and today was no exception. The people were interesting, Maggie's house was gorgeous and she was such a gracious hostess. The Obento was delicious, and I very much enjoyed the choice of teas. As I do every time I go to Meetup, I learned more about Japan. Great food, great company, great ambiance, increased knowledge - I left absolutely glowing!!! :-) ”
