Suita, Osaka – Nishio Residence, Asahi Beer Factory (Home Stay Family Event)

2015-04-25 Home Stay Family Event – Nishio Residence & Asahi Beer Factory

 

After that awkward experience with my host family last time, finally, I got to meet them again as this was a mandatory event offered by the university host family program.

Nishio! That is my professor’s name and also the name of the lab! Probably my professor has nothing to do with this residence though. The Nishio family was one of the elites in Osaka and decided to donate this old residency to the community as a museum. This museums preserved Nishio’s house along with all the furniture and tools in a early 90s setting.

Much of the furniture was imported from western countries, which were not quite affordable for most Japanese families during that period of time. They even owned a pool table in the living/play room, which was considered luxurious in the community.

Spiritual Corner for paying respect to their ancestors

Asahi Brewery Suita Factory

Asahi is the #1 best selling beer producer in Japan. One of the perks of visiting this Asahi factory is to have complimentary beer after the tour, straight from the factory!

Kobe Ya (神戸屋 レストラン)

The host family was really nice. They treated me in a bakery restaurant (Kobe Ya) for a really nice meal! Unlimited bread refill and they have all sorts of bread.
