The term Yoroshiku, or Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu, has several definitions in the Japanese language, from “Nice to meet you!” to “Thank you,” to “Let’s work hard together.” Much like the term itself, Japanese culture is rich, nuanced and filled with meaning. As a Japanese-Canadian who has never felt quite Japanese enough, host Ailey Yamamoto is on a mission to learn more, and she can’t wait to bring listeners along for the ride. Join her as she uses everyday objects to explore the intricacies of Japanese society from the perspective of someone distinctly embedded in two very different cultures. Yoroshiku!
