Nabe night

I love having visitors at our Japanese house. It makes me feel like it is actually our house! Shem was operating a flight to KIX and his wife Naz came along for a 3 day visit. We had traditional Japanese winter food, nabe, together. Nabe is a Japanese word for steam boat, you cook everything in a big pot on a gas cooker as you eat. It is a very social way of having a meal and we love it. Shem and Naz seemed to enjoy it too :)

After the dinner, we sat in our Japanese table with a built in heater (called kotatsu) to keep us warm and enjoyed our evening

It was a very relaxing catch up. Thanks Shem and Naz for dropping by.
