I was able to spend precious time with the wonderful family. For the very first time as a family, we took the subway to Tsukiji and enjoyed delicious sashimi—the children tried raw fish for the very first time. It was their first experience tasting it, and I’m sure those new sensations left them with unforgettable memories.

It was their first opportunity to experience Japanese culture as a family unit, and I believe they made many discoveries and had truly memorable experiences. As for the parents, I hope they were still able to enjoy a romantic evening just the two of them—that would make me very happy.

I am sincerely grateful for having met all of them, who welcomed me like family.
