Party Time!


SAKURA matsuri

In Japan, to admire the cherry blossoms, we, Japanese, have outdoors parties under the cherry blossoms in the spring. On April 21, five Japanese, MBA students and their partners, organized a party called Sakura matsuri (Sakura=Cherry blossoms, Matsuri=party) on the IMD campus, serving Sushi and drinks. About 100 people joined, and the party went on until the midnight!

None of us had ever made Sushi for 100 people, but thanks to the many non-Japanese partners and students, we managed to make the Sushi on time. Originally we planned to share the Sushi recipe with them though, I have a little regret; we just had time to work, work, and work, for five hours even without chatting.….. I thank them all! ■ Yuko Ota (Japan)
