Through their site, you tell if you like lunch or dinner, and at which date. Then they get back to you with a few suggestions and a presentation and you get to choose. Since we are seven people we were not sure if to find a match with space for all of us, but Nagomi visit got back to us we three options to choose from. Amazing.
We went to Meguro station, and were met by the family, and as agreed upon in advance a journalist and photographer from a magazine called Mom (A Japanese magazine aimed at mothers) were joining us. You can check out their website here, and maybe you will find and article with us there one day as well.

Our first visit to a Japanese home, look at the beautiful set table and all the great food they have prepared. I can assure you it tasted great.
They really made us feel welcome, and had written the menu in both Japanese and English. The front says "velkommen" which means welcome, in Norwegian. We were so impressed.
Yoshihiko was showing us around in their nice house, and after that we all sat around the table for an excellent meal.
After the meal, the kids got time to play....
We were able to ask all the questions we had about Japan. On of the most interesting things was to see the girls school book. The language here is really complicated with so many signs/words/pictures they have to memorize.
After looking at the girls school book, Ellen stated that she will never complain about any Norwegian class ever again.....
To meet like this is about so much more than sharing a meal. Its an unique way to let cultures meet, to share stories, having a good time and an opportunity to build new friendships.
We really had a great time, and have already decided to meet again in a few days.
Thank you.
