Join JETAA Ottawa for our first Nihongo Dake (Japanese Only) Dinner, where we get together, enjoy a meal, and do our best to only speak Japanese. All levels are welcome, from beginner to native.
We’ll be holding the dinner at Ottawa’s premier izakaya, Shingen.
As space is limited at Shingen and we’d like to know how many people at each Japanese ability level are attending, an RSVP through our sign-up formed is required.

Loft has HUNDREDS of amazing games to choose from!
For our second event, we’d thought we’d mix things up with a dice roll or two at Ottawa’s own THE LOFT Board Game lounge! Come join us Saturday afternoon for some fun and games with friends.
This event is limited to JET alumni and plus-ones.
After playing the afternoon away, we’ll also be having a nijikai (after party) in the classic Japan fashion: karaoke!
Only interested in one or the other? That’s fine – just RSVP for the activity you like.
Cozy up with us over board games at The Loft Board Game Lounge. With hundreds of games to choose from, including the very latest releases, you’re in for an action-packed afternoon.
The Loft also offers drinks and food, so don’t worry that we’ll be playing through lunch.
We’ll be taking a break for dinner and meeting up at for another round of shenanigans. We’ve got the big room booked for THREE HOURS so if you missed out last time, now’s your chance to shine!
On a rare sunny and beautiful January day, 12 JET Alumni and friends enjoyed skating on the Rideau Canal and eating Beaver Tails while reminiscing about their time in Japan. Following this we ate west coast-style Japanese food at “J: Unique Kitchen,” a new Japanese Restaurant in Ottawa, and then spent 3 throat-destroying hours singing Karaoke at PopStar Karoke! 超楽しかった！
It’s January again and although it’s cold out, JETAA Ottawa is always keen to put on events. This month’s event is skating on the canal and then dinner at a neat new sushi restaurant. If there’s interest, we’re also considering going to karaoke after dinner too.
It’s skating season and where better to skate in Ottawa than on the Canal! Once again, if you don’t have your skates, we will be subsidizing skate rentals for JET alumnus and a plus one. We welcome all participants, including and especially kids!
Meet Up
Date & Time: January 26 at 2:00 Meeting place: the fountain at Confederation Park
After meeting up, the group will go to the skate rental together.
After skating, we’ll also be hosting a dinner at J:unique Kitchen, a brand new sushi restaurant. It’s a hot venue so let us know if you’ll be joining us so we have enough chairs.
