Welcome to Sansei Life! A blog exploring and learning about the Asian community in Denver.When I was much younger I tried a new Japanese restaurant in Arvada called Namiko’s for a sushi snack. It was very good. I got into a conversation with Yuri the owner and she ended up offering me a part time job on weekends. I spent most of the first evening running to Yuri asking her what the various dishes were and what was in them and what they tasted like. In exasperation Yuri asked me if I was Japanese! She could not understand how a Japanese did not know simple restaurant fare. That is when I really understood that I was a Sansei out of touch with my culture. I am ready to experience and learn about today’s Asian culture.

Have you ever being to Japan? Do you still have relatives in Japan?
I have not been to Japan. I do not have any knowledge of relatives in Japan. Maybe someday I’ll make it to Japan, that would be amazing!
Wow that’s a bit sad to think, I being living abroad more than 10 years but I come back to visit my parents every year, but I don’ t know what is going to happen in future. Specially for the future generations. Having a part of my family in Japan and my parents house to comeback make me feel somehow conected. i hope you can visit one day Japan
