My husband and I hosted many foreign students over the years. We always loved to have them cook for us. It gave them a chance to share their culture and for us to take a culinary trip without leaving home. A favorite of ours in Niku-Jaga which Naoki Sekiya made for us. We have remained in contact with Naoki for over 20 years.
