Thank you for attending! 🙇♂️🙇♀️
Let’s read and discuss the Haruki Murakami’s short story “Drive My Car,” found within the book “Men Without Women”!
(Non-JET Program Alumni, including friends, family, and Japan enthusiasts – even those located outside of Ottawa- are encouraged to join!!)
This short story was the basis of the 2021 film “Drive my Car,” directed by Ryusuke Hamaguchi, and selected to compete for the Palme d’Or at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival where it won three awards including Best Screenplay. It was also selected as the Japanese entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 94th Academy Awards.
Happy New Year! Welcome to 2022!

Join the JETAA Ottawa Exec as we bring our “Japanese Cooking 101” class online for 2021! In this FREE event, we’ll be coming together through Zoom to cook two Japanese favourites with a Canadian-twist; Daifuku (mochi filled with sweet red bean paste) and “Maple-rashi” dango (sweet and savory dumpling skewers).
Buy your own ingredients and follow along in your own kitchen, or simply tune in for tips and tea with your JETAA friends. We’ll be starting at 4 pm ET and then breaking for a beverage to enjoy our treats and catch up following the session. You are welcome to tune in for the whole event, a single recipe, or just for tea as you’d like.
