Joshikai is a networking group for Japanese women and women with a connection to Japan. On Thursday, August 12th, we'll meet for an evening of networking, girl talk, and happy hour drinks (all evening!) at Kyo-ya, a conveniently located Japanese bar / restaurant in downtown San Francisco. Mingle, chat and share stories with other women in English and / or Japanese. Any skill level of Japanese is welcome, and this will be a great opportunity to practice your Japanese and connect with women who have similar interests. Feel free to join us whenever is convenient, and bring friends! We have their lounge area reserved, as well as seats at the bar.
Kyo-ya's manager has offered us happy hour prices all evening, which means $3 for Sapporo draft beer and $6 for cocktails (including the Lychee Martini, Sake Mojito, and Asian Pear Martini). They also have free bar bites, including edamame and salad, as well as food for purchase, like gyoza ($8), kara-age ($12), and a sushi combo plate ($20).
