NY Regional Event Report

The NY region met together for Japanese snacks and drinks at Pier-57 followed by dinner at Chelsea Market on November 9th to celebrate Momoko Tamamura, a TOMODACHI alumna from the Osaka area who was passing through! Eleven people including six TOMODACHI alumni joined the event.  Momoko said from government halls to real estate ventures and crypto innovation — our TOMODACHI NYC community shines with diversity and unity. Together, we celebrated our shared love for the U.S.–Japan connection, New York City energy, and the simple joy of Onigiri. We also tested our knowledge of U.S. states, Japanese prefectures, and even NY subway stops to see who would win the Osaka 2025 Expo prize Momoko kindly donated!
