In our September-November 2009 Events brochure, we offered 3 Japan Society members (and their guests) the chance to be on location and meet Mrs Harumi Kurihara at NHK World TV’s exclusive central London filming of ‘Your Japanese Kitchen’.

After an overwhelming response, the lucky winners were:

• Mrs Joanna Lawson
• Mrs Kaori Kumagai
• Mrs Kyoko Delaforce

In addition to attending the filming on 14th September, members and their guests each received a signed copy of Mrs Kurihara’s latest book’ Everyday Harumi’. ‘Everyday Harumi’ is Mrs Kurihara’s third English language cookbook and is published by Conran Octopus. The book presents more than 60 new home-style recipes, demonstrating just how easy it is to cook Japanese food for everyday occasions without needing to shop at specialist food stores.

We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our winners and to extend our thanks to NHK World TV and of course Mrs Kurihara.
