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！
Happy New Year! あけましておめでとう！
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.
Feel free to join all or any parts you’d like of the event. (Just remember to RSVP, please.)
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!
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.
Need skates? Let us know!
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.
Time: 5:00
Venue:J:unique Kitchen at 381 Cooper St [directions]
Not interested in skating, but interested in flaming sushi? Just join us for dinner!

Our annual Senpai-Kohai Pub Night is upon us. It's a prime time to get the real wisdom from the JET alumni who have gone before you. It's not just the alcohol, but also great advice that will pour out freely, as you prepare to embark on your Japan journey! Of course non-alcoholic delicious beverages and great pub food will also be enjoyed.
Current JET Alumni, put on your best senpai smile (or smirk) and see off the starry-eyed out-going JET's.
The pub night will be held immediately following the out-going JET Orientation on Sunday, July 15th at Wasabi Sushi Bar [link to their site] (41 Clarence St. Ottawa) at 5:30pm. (please note the change of venue and time)
